It’s pretty astonishing how long I stared at the cold pasta water until I realized that I hadn’t turn up the heat on the stove.

That new Insta360 thing looks pretty cool but is way too expensive for what I’d do with it. (Swing it around a bit, look at the video on my phone, say: “Wow, pretty cool”, put it into a drawer and then forget about it for a couple of months.)

There’s a vibratory hammer at the construction site next door and it sounds like any moment I’ll hear Wagner while democracy and freedom rain from the sky.

Just like everybody I switched from Spotify to Apple Music a couple of months back. Today I subscribed to Spotify again. While I still curse them every single time I hear about their view on podcasts and podcasting, I just could not get used to Apple Music and its various shortcomings.
I don’t understand why Apple doesn’t have something like Spotify Connect where I can seamlessly switch the playback from one device to another. And yes, I did miss the Discover Weekly playlist which is often very spot on and which helped me find a lot of music I’d otherwise have never listened to.
Add to this all the hoops I had to jump through to scrobble my listening to last.fm and I just did not have a good time.
