Full moon last night, and the Vivo X90 Pro did a good job of capturing it. Hand held, 10x zoom, Super Moon mode, and quite a bit of software trickery I suspect. Still, looks great. #vivoX90Pro

The 986 is being treated to a headlight polish, re-sealing the roof, and an interior and exterior clean today. I want it done, but it’s also preparation for its inevitable sale. I don’t really want to, but I’m trying to be sensible.

While I dealt with the Ultra, looked at the #GalaxyS23 and #GalaxyS23Plus. His words are in the link below. For me, the Plus is tempting. I like the big screen, the processor inside, and it has some interesting features unique to it too. #GalaxyUnpacked

I got to use the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Plus. And they're both really, really good! Obviously need more time for full testing/review, but my first impressions of both phones are great. They're familiar, subtle upgrades that appear to get a lot right digitaltrends.com/mobile/samsung

Shortly after the 986 went in to have a new windscreen fitted yesterday… it came out again. Third attempt to get the correct one, and still a failure. Pretty surprised it has been such a challenge for them to order the right screen!

This is super cool. Gatebox's appeal comes from Hikari-chan, and this Toy Story-inspired box brings her to life before you even open it up. Wonderful animation, as always, too.

This week is looking pretty busy, leading into next week that also looks busy, and the week after that which looks... busy. No complaints, but while I'm motivated now on Monday morning, I wonder how it'll be by Friday...

Trying out the GoPro Hero11 Black. Just a normal Jaguar driving clip for now, with some lovely, but subtle, V8 rumble in the background. Camera is good, but the app takes a bit of getting used to.

So here I am, writing into the Twitter void about not enjoying Twitter. Giving it up for a week didn't make me forget it, it made me miss what it used to be, and I can't replicate or recapture that experience elsewhere. I'll try the curation. After all, what have I got to lose?

Unfortunately, I don't know where else to go. Mastodon is still failing for me. So much effort to not see any "this happened on Twitter" style posts, or simply noise. Instagram Stories is vapid, and using Facebook is stepping back to a time I'd rather forget.

For a moment I think that all it needs is heavy curation on my part. An unfollow, mute, turn-off-retweet spree of the worst offenders. But then I think is it really worth the effort? Has the place I once really liked changed beyond recognition, and isn't for me anymore?

I used to say Twitter was a positive place for me, but that has completely changed. I now SEE all the arguments, the conspiracy, the hate, and negativity that I had weeded out. If it's not that, it's things I don't care about like the NFL.

I've lurked for a week and seen "my" Twitter become poisonous because of the For You default view. I miss "my" Twitter, but find it hard to get away from the awfulness of For You and Trending. Half is *somewhat* relevant to me, the other is everything I need to avoid.

981 has been left at (first visit, and so nice!) for its service, and I came home in this fantastic new Macan. Despite the weather, it is a joy to drive. Now, on with some work... and hoping all is ok with the car 🤞

I think this attitude leads to all these people missing out on a wonderful world of incredible, varied driving experiences. It’s like only choosing to watch films made since 2020.

Morning. Still amazed the number of people who think buying used cars is 'dirty' or a sign that you haven't got the funds. Strange. What do you think?

I'll miss Manatsu a lot❤️ She fits everyone's image of what a cute idol should be, she really loves Nogizaka, and she seems to work tirelessly for the group. Being the last first-gen to graduate perfectly shows this, I think. Thank you for 11 years 🥲 #秋元真夏 #乃木坂46

I always enjoy hearing from readers, but this is a surprisingly strong reaction to a rather innocent and fun story. Unless, someone has only read the headline?

iPhone ad aspect aside, the #NewJeans_OMG MV is a real work of art. It’s worth watching until the very last second too, as there is a fun, very knowing gag about the MV’s unexpected look and tone. It seems #NewJeans can do no wrong so far…
