You might’ve noticed I haven’t posted here much lately. Tbh, it’s because I’ve mostly been on Bluesky. It’s really hopping now. I’ll keep this account active, and if you tag me, I’ll still swing around, but Bluesky is really the place to follow me now.

Ugh, LinkedIn really is the worst

A screenshot of the post box on LinkedIn. The text box has the prompt text: "Start a post, try writing with AI". The buttons below read "Media," "Contribute expertise," and "Write article"

Dang, I'm not sure I realized you could get the OG MPV in America with a manual transmission. No AWD is a bit of a bummer, though.

Gotta admit, I really dig the Kona Electric N Line. A little pricey still for me, though.
