Trying the Apple Hearing Test with AirPods Pro 2
Without meaning to, earlier I went through the Apple Hearing Test available on iPhones with my a8c anniversary AirPods Pro 2s just over 6 years after my initial diagnosis. They aren’t identical test so I am not comparing them like for like but on the surface it is comforting to see that whilst I’ve thought…

My 2024 in Music
Last.fm’s year-end reports are detailed and nostalgic for me. I love discovering hidden musical gems and fun stats!

ONE MORE TIME…
blink are “back” and I love it. It’s like being 15 and hearing Enema again. I’m catching a few nice throwbacks to everything in their career. A few BCR and +44 hints at least. (Yes, yes I am tagging this as Music Monday as I first put it on yesterday.)

One Month
Believe it or not, I have a “fitness” blog. The last month has got me back into it. Closed all three Fitness rings on my Apple Watch.

Lifechat with Adam; fixing Netflix, eco, and home buying
In Automattic, we have a “life chat” Slack channel, it uses Donut, the same bot we use for onboarding, and it matches you with another person in the channel once a month. You can chat whenever and however you want, it’s a nice option to bring together people who otherwise wouldn’t interact much and gives…

I’m going deaf. For real.
Alternative title was “It should be at zero” but I felt the click through on that would be low. It’s been long joked that I don’t listen, or I don’t catch what people say and to be honest, I didn’t think I had really any hearing trouble. Sure I guessed I had tinnitus but that…

Brechin Diocesan Synod
I was at the Brechin synod today, it’s been a long minute since I’ve been involvedwith church stuff so it was good to be back. I’m getting involved with the communication group to start getting churches online, and help those who already have a website make it better if needed. It is nice to be…
