duh

This morning I remembered l had laundry up on the line and checked my phone to see when it was going to rain today. Saw l had until 6.00 pm to get my clothes in. Then I LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW and saw it was already raining. Duh.

I mean, l was sitting at my desk next to open balcony doors and didn’t think to LOOK OUTSIDE. And I only started using these (fabulous) evil devices just over ten years ago. What hope do people have who were introduced to them as toddlers?

earpods!

earpods, iPhone, music

earpods (1)

I have been thinking about earpods since my old iPod finally died a few months ago. Or rather, suddenly all the music disappeared and I have no idea why. Because after that my only option for listening to music outside my home was to use my iPhone and this adaptor that has an input for an earphone jack and an usb (see below). I’d originally bought this a couple of years ago for travelling and it’s great for that, so I can listen to music/watch a film on a train/plane and keep the phone or iPad charging. But it’s not so great while walking, having another extension thing sticking out along with the already tangly earphone cords… and of course all of this gets even more complicated and clumsy when you add masks to the equation.

But there was no way I was going to drop 200€ (that I don’t even have) on a pair of Apple Airpods, especially as I felt sure I’d end up losing at least one of them before long. Then I came across an article about the Anker Soundcore ones (pictured above) that cost 50€ and seemed to do everything I was looking for. Which was mostly getting rid of all the cords but it had some other cool features and also got great reviews. So I went for it.

And well, it’s been interesting. I mean, not having any cords getting caught in my mask, hair and the shoulder strap of my bag is the main bonus, but I can also hear the music better as these are quite (but not totally) noise cancelling. That’s the “interesting” part, because it’s a bit like wearing ear plugs so that I hear my breathing, heartbeats, footsteps way more than I’d like to. Guess I’ll get used to that? Anyhow, it’s good to have these. And they totally stay in my ears!

new bumper and belly calls

So the bumper I originally bought for my (then new) iPhone X finally bit the dust. And you’d think that, since I seldom leave the house these days, I probably could do without a new one. But you’d be wrong.

I’ve been doing my (almost daily) rooftop walks with the cord thingy that came with the orginal bumper, so I can hang my iPhone around my neck to count my steps (I don’t have a fitbit watch) leaving my hands free to carry my ancient iPod. Apparently I don’t own any clothing with pockets. So not only did I have to replace the bumper, I had to find one that has those two tiny holes on one side to attach the key-ring looking bit, which then clicks onto the other bit on the cord… are you still awake?

So anyhow! I discovered another unexpected feature from carrying my iPhone around my neck, which I tuck inside my top to keep it out of the direct sun when I’m on the roof. I guess you’ve all heard of butt calls by now (more politely known as pocket dialing), when you have your phone in your back pocket and inadvertently call someone after a button or two gets pushed. Well this will never happen to me since, as already stated, I don’t have any clothing with pockets, and also never wear trousers, let alone jeans (the main butt call culprits). But it turns out I can make belly calls! It happened today while I was doing my rooftop walk. I got a call from a friend so of course I answered and we were chatting for a bit before I said “hey what’s up?” and she said “well, you called me” and I said “wut”. Turns out the phone screen was turned towards my belly and it made a call. Gotta be more careful!
