Nero's Notes

Recoil

In fact, by design, it's a bit awkward. It doesn't even have a browser. What it does do, is allow you to make lots of notes by hand. A sort of electronic notebook.

Biting the Bullet

For once, I instantly vetoed myself from buying more stuff "to be more minimalist". As it happens, my current daily driver is a Leuchtturm 1917 A5, the same book that is slightly amended to be sold as the Bullet Journal 2024.

I bought it for its vertical week to view diary pages, their utility superseding even the telephone number for Cowes Week.
