First post in 2022

I mean, do people still BLOG? 

Looking back more than a decade ago (yes!) I think I was big (and, therefore, blogged) on several subjects: Phones, Yoga and Games. Not much has changed (yes!) except, well, I am still huge on Yoga and Games but phones? 

Not so much these days. Currently I "only" own these: Google Pixel Pro 6 (yes!) for work and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G for gaming, which I use daily. Then there are the old BlackBerry Key 2 LE and LG G5, both I really love but which I retired recently because they are ... well, old. And finally I still have the Sidekick ID and Docomo Fujitsu F-06D, which are kinda collector's items (both have those fantastic LED lights 😍😍 Compared to those crazy days when I changed phones, like, every other week, this is, like, normal. 

In fact, I really love the new Google phone ... the last one I owned was the Nexus S (by Samsung circ 2010), which had a curved screen and I think I had that for quite a long time until the firmware became totally outdated. The Pixel Pro 6 (I have the Japanese edition) is just the kinda flagship phone I needed to replace my dependable BlackBerry (thumb typing on the Pixel is great!). The Z Flip is a foldable so at least it is different. 

However, while I may now have fewer phones, that doesn't mean I have fewer gadgets. In fact, my collection of electronic stuff has grown exponentially over the years that, perhaps, I need to do something about that. Like, these are machines that if I don't use or charge up regularly they might just ... die!

The ThinkPad (that I am typing this blog on) is SUPER-DUPER! I mean, I have had this for many, many years and one massive ransomware attack later, I am still using it. It has a wide screen and even a built-in DVD/CD/VCD player (that works) and you just cannot buy this amazing laptop anywhere now. And I have a Apple MacAir too ... which, to be honest, I have no idea why I bought cos I don't really need it. But it is good to learn to use the iOS (which IMHO is totally counter-intuitive). I still have a Kindle with a keyboard (yes!), three PlayStation handheld (yes!), Game Boy Advance SP (yes!) and a first gen iPad (yes!) Well, you get my drift. The thing is, I am now just using mostly my Nintendo Switch for gaming.

So just taking turns to charge up these gadgets up is kinda troublesome. But do I throw them away?

On the yoga front, I have been having issues with my right leg, specifically the outer knee and hamstrings. Will do this pose throughout the coming week (+ anti-inflammatory tablets) to see if situation will improve.
