Over on The New Leaf Journal, I wrote about (with photos and a GIF) being treated to an unexpected fireworks show on September 14, 2024, while sitting on the Brooklyn Heights Promenade with a friend. We left the Promenade about an hour after the fireworks show. I should say we almost left because just as we were almost in the clear, I realized that I was missing my BLUPOND Knight Vision Driving Glasses, which I reviewed on The New Leaf Journal all the way back in 2021. We retraced our steps and eventually found the glasses on the bench we had seen the fireworks from. All’s well that ends well.

I wrote a New Leaf Journal article about installing Ubuntu Touch on a Google Nexus 7 tablet back in July 2021. That turned out to be one of our all-time most-read articles, and it has been one of our most-read articles of 2023 despite the fact that the Ubuntu Touch project discontinued support for it in April 2023. It may seem odd that I never wrote a follow-up, but there were two reasons. Firstly, while installing it was fun, I never found a specific use for the Ubuntu Touch Nexus 7 (I did end up using a second Nexus 7 that I installed LineageOS on and I have a new project in the works about that one). Secondly, I did not know where my Ubuntu Touch Nexus 7 was for a while. I just found it and am installing the last updates for it. Better late than never?
