I’ve been considering an Apple Pencil for some time now. This Kaweco sleeve might just be the final nudge towards that purchase.
Firefox now lets you block annoying website notification pop-ups
I’ve been using Firefox a lot recently and it’s definitely getting better. I just wish it had sharper icons in the toolbar like Safari has.
My personal defcon status has been lowered from “bloody miserable” to “almost bearable” as this cold lessens it’s grip. 🤧
The great thing about RSS readers is the speed at which I can catch up. Even after a couple of days of not checking them, I can still blitz through over 200 unread items in a few minutes. I never seem to be able to catch up on Twitter.
Still considering Toronto
Following a raft of measures to cool off the property market, sales have plunged, down 35% overall in Feb 2017 relative to Feb 2016; prices are down an average of CAD110,000, and listings are up (which will drive the prices down further).
— Toronto’s real estate market is imploding via Boing Boing
Imploding might be a strong word in this case as it’s only based on one month’s sales, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this was the start of a decline in house prices in Toronto and the surrounding areas.
With my in-laws in Ontario and annual trips out there with the family, we’ve see vast amounts of land swallowed up by builders over the last two decades. The rate of building and development has been staggering.
In the last ten years though house prices have sky rocketed.
My wife and I have toyed with emigrating to Canada in the past few years. The always increasing house prices mean that we would have to look at smaller properties near Toronto or larger properties away from Toronto for the move to be worth it.
With a dip in house prices though, maybe a move is still possible?
📚 Got my copy of Michael Wade’s Random Thoughts. Great to have all these in one place.
Did I just write a reply in the style of old Donald himself?
📚 Almost halfway through King of Thorns by Mark Lawrence before I decided to give up on it. First book I’ve given up on this year.
I’m going with HeadPods on this one.
