Yesterday I listened to my daughter’s heartbeat. It got me thinking that the heart is incredible. Let’s say you live to be 90 and average 70 beats per minute:

90 years * 365 days * 24 hours * 60 minutes * 70 beats per minute
= 3,311,280,000 heartbeats in a lifetime.

We are a wondrous creation. ❤️

Google Gemini on the Pixel phone is so nice. I got paper mail from my HOA about a meeting and was able to:

1. Take a pic of it
2. Hold the power button to open Gemini
3. Say “add this to my calendar”

All the details, including location, were saved at the correct time on my calendar. Took seconds.

Today I added a weekly microblogs counter to the top of my homepage. Clicking the link takes you to see all of my microblogs. A while ago I changed my homepage to only list long articles. But this made it hard to surface microblogs, especially on mobile. This remedies that. Plus counters are cool!
