Bookmarks - to use or not to use?
I’m experimenting with the full bookmarks function in micro.blog. I haven’t spent enough time yet to know if I will use it enough to justify the extra $5, especially as the Vivaldi browser includes a good ‘Notes’ function.
But it is very appealing for research and linking interesting pages to blog posts.

Blurred vision giving me a new appreciation of web accessibility
One of the side effects of the rather large doses of steroids I’m on for my myeloma is that they can affect my vision. I often find my sight feels like I am stuck in a heavy mist. Not all the time; it comes and goes day-by-day. It doesn’t seem as though my sight has become more blurred; it is more like a soft focus filter over a camera lens. But I certainly wouldn’t trust my eyesight to drive today!
