@scott They are?

Well, I got an email from them telling me about some opportunity with my Adobe Illustrator Portal, and I've never used Illustrator.

So, everything is normal.

Dark Matter S1. ⭐️⭐️
TV show 2024
Watched May 8, 2024

It was just as well I had no expectations going into Apple TV’s latest SciFi show, Dark Matter, otherwise I might have given this one star not two. As it turns out this one felt a tad trite and cliched, picking over the bones of oh so many other shows that have gone before it and, recycling one too many over-used tropes (Schrödinger’s cat anyone?)

And, with a music score that ... https://alexink.micro.blog/2024/05/09/dark-matter-s.html

A Pigeon Took These Photographs

'A photographer with a fascination for pigeons has attached small cameras to the birds so they can take photos'

Strictly for the birds. And the photo of the highway intersection looks like a soaring bird.

I decided to treat myself by buying a new satnav for the car. My car doesn't have a satnav built-in, which with hindsight is a good thing.

The new model is a Garmin DriveSmart 76. My main reason for upgrading was to get lifetime map updates, which are installed via WiFi, directly onto the satnav (no PC needed). For me this is a major benefit, as otherwise map updates require a Garmin app running on Mac or Windows. The new unit will replace a Garmin Nuvi 65 LM.

@fitheach You've got me thinking about an upgrade. I have to plug my Nuvi in to upgrade software and maps, and it's hit or miss whether the Garmin Express software actually recognises that it's plugged in.

@fitheach Sounds good. But update via WiFi is excellent.
