Notes from my week.
- Attended the Nuxt Nation Vue.js Fundamentals workshop this week.
- We had a broken shower drain in our basement, and the plumbers fixed it (a.k.a. destroyed our bathroom).
- Started an Apple Music music trial. So far I like it, but it’s driving me crazy that there is no place to view all the songs and artists I’ve “loved” on the service.
- My wife and I are in need of phone upgrades, and currently there are a lot of great deals for trading up to the iPhone 13. But this week I discovered that those great deals are not available for us because we are stuck in Sprint limbo. Out plan will automatically switch to T-Mobile in January, and we can’t get the T-Mobile deals until we are on a T-Mobile plan. I was just going to manually switch the plan, but it turns out that it’s not quite as simple as I initially thought. This got me looking at other phone companies, and right now it seems that Verizon might end up being the best deal for us.
