I’ve always wanted this blog to feel like blogs did back in the day. In that context, a guestbook has definitely been a missing feature.

So, after some intense vibe coding, I’ve now finally launched one.

My stats show my traffic is rather limited, so I’m not expecting the guestbook to fill up super quickly. I haven’t even added pagination yet!

Nevertheless, my guestbook is there now, and you’re more than welcome to drop a note if you’re reading this!

I recently bought an iPad as a “reading on the sofa” kind of device. Because of my limited use, I went for the low-end, standard iPad, the one Apple awkwardly refers to as the iPad A16.

It’s a perfect device in so many ways, and I’m super happy with it. A more advanced model would be a waste of money for me.

However, there are three design choices Apple have made that I feel are completely missing how this low-end iPad is actually being used.

Often, when I want something, I don’t buy it straight away. In most cases, I want to make sure it’s a real need/desire, and not something that will pass. Other times, I just need a little bit more research to figure out exactly what to get. Or I just enjoy the anticipation.

That’s why I maintain a wishlist, even if it’s all for myself, rather than hoping someone else would buy something for me.

Here’s the current list, in no particular order…

I went to see the new iPhone Duo today. I have been rather sceptical about the whole thing, but I assumed that once I held it in my hand, it would create the same kind of craving every other iPhone has.

When I first picked it up, it felt as if it might. I really liked the screen’s dimensions when closed. It felt new and fresh, different from the form factor Apple have played on repeat for so long. However, when trying to use it, I realised it’s way too wide to use comfortably with one hand while standing on the tube. And then, for the main trick, when opening the phone up to reveal the folded screen, the whole thing just felt like a slightly awkward iPad mini.

So no, iPhone Duo is not for me. I don’t get what it’s for. And at that price?

The JNCO Convicts are supercool but admittedly not very versatile. Therefore, I actually bought another pair of JNCO jeans in the same order. I wanted something easy to wear and a break from the dark stone blue of all my other JNCOs, so I went for the Jester in vintage black.

And I absolutely love them! At a modest 26”, they are really easy to wear, and they look great.

After this, I think I need to slow down a bit with the purchases, though! 💸

Behold my new JNCO Convicts! 👀

It was bound to happen sometime. These are absolutely crazy!
