Kobo Aid

Recently I bought a Kobo Clara HD. The kids have had Kobo’s for a while now and read on them quite a bit. I decided I wanted to use it for novels and some tech books that I have.

So far I am liking it. It took a little bit to get used to reading on that device. It is different than an iPad, and different than a paper book. It is easier on the eyes than the iPad, lighter than a paperback too.

I also like the integration with Pocket. I have quite a backlog there to get through and I am hoping that, with the aid of the Kobo, I can work through that in a more timely manner.

It would be even better if it included Instapaper integration too. I am going to have to refrain from hacking my device. It seems like there is a pretty decent hacking community for Kobo’s

I really like my Sonos, but really DISLIKE their aggressive update handling. Sometimes I just want to listen to something and not have to manage my device.

Micro Weird

I am having issues with the settings to post to Micro.blog. Everything on this site looks good, and the feed looks good. For some reason though, my micro.blog timeline is only providing a link to my content on my site. Weird.

UPDATE: Thanks to support in Slack, it was pointed out to me that my theme was adding a default title. A quick edit to the theme code (likely not the best solution), and I am back in business.

Currently waiting for the Apple event to start up. I am curious about the iPhone X replacement (Xr and Xs??). I’d like to upgrade my 6s, but I’d also like to upgrade my iPad Air to a Pro. It will all come down to the $$$.

Driving my daughter to school I had someone tailgating me, then as I approached my turn, I signalled and started slowing. Dude must have been in a hurry so he starts honking at me so they can make the light. WTF?

Felt a small earthquake this morning. I was still in bed, felt a small jolt, and heard a dog bark outside. Then it was over.

Well then, this tire has seen better days. The trails today were still super loose. Here’s hoping for enough rain to help ease the dust. #mtbvi #yyj #mountainbiking #bikesarefun #thedump #dustyaf #shredyatires
