Too many hobbies, not enough focus
I've always had a soft spot for iOS 6. It was the last iOS to use Apple's classic skeuomorphic design, the first iOS released after Steve Jobs died. It was released alongside the iPhone 5 in September 2012 and represented the last hurrah of iOS before it was flattened and brightened with iOS 7. iOS …
I just finished watching the Haunting of Bly Manor. I'm a huge fan of 2018's The Haunting of Hill House and have been looking forward to Bly Manor for a couple of years. Before I get into spoiler territory, I found Bly to be interesting, but not engaging like Hill House. I didn't find it …
Apple announced its next generation of iPhones today and they were in line with many of the rumors. There are four iPhone 12 models spread across two tiers and three sizes.
