Last week I posted my list of default apps. One of the prompts was where you keep your contacts. I simply use the contacts app built into iOS and MacOS. However, I noted that I needed to clean it up.

Something I think about a lot is how the ~vibes~ of the internet have changed. Sure, I’ve gotten older which certainly changes my perspective over time but we are blessed with the tools to see how these things change. They’re recorded.
