It’s been a while since I bought a new set of dumbbells. I bought more things to help me exercise and raised the weight I lift.

I heard about the rebirth of the legendary smartwatch Pebble from an article from WIRED. The Pebble was a smartwatch with an e-paper display, launched in 2012 and discontinued in 2016. Google opened the source of PebbleOS, which is the OS used on Pebble. In tandem with that, Eric Migicovsky, the founder of Pebble, announced the development of new Pebble hardware.

The thing is, I never made any concrete log of those activities. That made my memory fade, sometimes resulting in repeating the same mistake over and over. ...
