The Purge
As long as I am purging tech, I am also weening off of Google Plus and Twitter.
Being so embedded into Google for so long I cannot fully detach just yet but it will be a slow process. For now, Plus is not installed on my devices. I haven’t updated it in months.
The same for Twitter. I’ll keep the account open but will not be an active user.
I’m not receiving value from either one of them like I used to nor do I have the time/desire to blurt out anything of interest to anyone but myself.
I have my website for that.
Convert
A month ago I made the decision to convert to the iPhone and iOS. Thanks to some software issues with the Samsung Galaxy S6, I was allowed to jump over to the iPhone 6 Plus a few months early.
After years of Android support, I grew tired of the way the software was evolving.
The iPhone’s hardware, including the 8MP camera, are solid. And of course most of the apps I want to use are developed exclusively for iOS not Android.
Adios, Android. It’s been good but not good enough.
**UPDATE** 2024-09-04. And I have never looked back!
Jump
As soon as I am able to jump from my Samsung S6 this summer, I will probably go back to an iPhone. Why? The tech specs for Android phones are superior for sure but if I’m honest, I’m switching for the apps. Google Play apps or so limited, buggy and poorly designed. Why so many cartoon-ish logos? Their app store doesn’t change often and suggests the same crap but a different week. The screenshot could have been taken two weeks ago because it hasn’t changed. BORING. Compare with the iTunes store. New apps every week. New apps I would purchase. Very well designed apps. I still don’t like the fact I cannot customize the iOS interface. I have to admit that after a couple weeks, I didn’t even notice. So unless Google completely wows us with their new stuff at the I/O conference next week, I will drop my long time Android support and go back to iPhone.
It Was All Right Now It Is All Wrong
I’d have a lot to give
If I still gave a damn
That’s just how it is when you’re gone
Tempted
I can resist everything…but temptation.
Run Wild
Maybe some men are not meant to be tamed. Maybe they just need to run free until they find someone just as wild to run with them.
Midnight Oiled
12:30 am and I am sitting at the computer reorganizing digital and paper files.

Tough Mudder
Tough Mudder was a week ago. I survived but have had zero down time to recover or even mention it here. I’ll share my experience soon.
