Enough of those router and pump reviews! Today’s review is the weirdest and the shortest one in this blog’s history!
We’ll unbox and study the professional, as the seller puts it, nail clipper by Xiaomi.
Xiaomi nail clipper review
Musicellaneous ‣ Gru
Friday is always imminent! For this eighth edition of Musicellaneous I had to dig a wee bit deeper this time. So I’ve dug out one of the most mysterious characters of the instrumental prog who is hiding behind the Gru monicker.
And I do hope it isn’t related to GRU whatsoever.
Firmware 2.5.0.108 adds a new Wi-Fi network to Netgear Orbi Pro SRK60
My mesh router Netgear Orbi Pro SRK60 (see my review of the router) has recently received the firmware version 2.5.0.108.
What’s new in this version:
Musicellaneous ‣ Covet and Yvette Young
Happy Friday everyone! This seventh edition of Musicellaneous features two gems at once: the American band Covet and its frontwoman multi-instrumentalist Yvette Young, who is by the way also a painter.
Covet’s genre is officially called math rock, which I would perhaps prepend with “maidenly”.
Musicellaneous ‣ Vitalism

Friday! This sixth edition of Musicellaneous features the model djent band Vitalism from Rio de Janeiro (Brazil).
Vitalism was started in 2014 as a solo project of guitarist Ed Garcia, who recorded a single called Gradus.
So long two thousand nineteen
Musicellaneous ‣ The Helix Nebula

It’s Friday again, the time when music stars are falling from the sky, or now and then a whole nebula!
In this fifth edition of Musicellaneous I’d like to introduce the dear reader to The Helix Nebula, Australian wizards of instrumental prog metal, which sometimes diverges into djent and math rock.
Precision screwdriver set Xiaomi Wiha review
I like Xiaomi gadgets a lot and I’ve reviewed quite a few of them.
I’ve bought a set of precision screwdrivers Xiaomi Wiha screwdriver kit a while ago so now I can share my experience.
Mona Lisa Plus
We’ve recently been to Paris and strolled along the banks of Seine, where all kinds of old stuff was being sold: postcards, posters, paintings, books.
Occasionally you stumble upon a really interesting artifact.
So we’ve spotted a brilliant version of Mona Lisa, which we named “Mona Lisa Plus” amongst ourselves. It looked so appropriate in the company of hundreds of canonical copies of Da Vinci’s work.
Picnic: online supermarket review

It’s an unusual review today: I’m writing about my experiences with the fastest-growing online supermarket chain in the Netherlands—Picnic—which has finally opened its virtual doors before me.
I’ve signed up for it a little more than a year ago and landed at the place 200+ on the waiting list at the moment.
Later I checked on the app several times but my number never changed so I forgot about it a while later.
DIY postcards
As it turns out, you can make postcards yourself.
Furthermore, they will feel much more special and, with a bit of luck, prettier than ones from the store!
Bigger pictures are under the cut.
Musicellaneous ‣ Haamoja

It’s Friday, time to explore the realm of unfamiliar music again!
The unfamiliar is represented today by the Haamoja project from Taiwan playing djent/jazz/fusion.
