Well there goes my afternoon: I will be playing Watch Face Designer for Wear OS. It's a plugin for Figma that lets you craft watch faces right there and then export directly to Android Studio, to an APK, or even view directly on your device.

Okay cleaning next set of tires and yes having to clear out old goo every year or so is annoying for sure, but also I had this itty bitty nail in my tire and had no idea so tubeless is good.

Gemini now always easily available with a simple long press of the power button. It can work directly with multiple apps. And of course you can go to Gemini Live for real time conversations

I've tried a bunch of non-alcoholic bourbons and have pretty much hated them all except this one, which isn't too sweet or burnt, has just a little interesting bite to it. Doesn't taste "real" (nothing does), but not bad.
Free Spirits NA Bourbon. Have just mixed it with soda water.
