I have to take a moment and acknowledge some gratitude.
My wife bought me this wireless Bluetooth keyboard I asked for for Christmas, and I love love love it!
If you're wondering which model, it's an "iAccessory" jobber available on Amazon. I don't know that I would love another model more or less, I think I just love the ability to type into my iPhone.
I have hated the iPhone "virtual keyboard" since the moment I began using it. Given my predilection for text-based creativity, it may be partially to blame for the lack of new material on many fronts. I forced myself to sit down this morning and type a few words with it, and before I knew it, I'd banged out enough new material that I'm looking forward to going to my next comedy open mike, which has't happened in months!
I already have a laptop and sit in front of a keyboard at work all day, but those situations don't allow my brain to slip into the right gear for creating. With this new doo-hickey, I combine the finger-jamming ease of use of a full-sized keyboard with the portability, and "instant-on" flexibility of my iPhone, and i am able to steal the free time to work a few things out.
Bliss!
The waves were inconsistent but in the best way. They made space for me to
take some photos. And I joined the coffee Zoom of a friend. Yes, I joined a
Zoom call from the water. It was nice. Camaraderie is worth seeking out,
even digitally, even in the water. Loneliness, disaffection, dislocation,
disconnection are everywhere. And we need each other—human connection—more
than ever. It’s a time of great misery and injustice and there’s much work
to do. Let’s get to it, in kindness.
