The GuliKit Route Air Bluetooth Adapter

It is quite frustrating that, currently, the Nintendo Switch does not have built-in Bluetooth. Thus, having to use regular headphones if I wanted to play on the couch while my wife and/or the kids were using the television. The only regular “headphones” I currently have access to is my gaming headset. It worked fine but for whatever reason it would stop sending audio every once in a while, it was bulky and needed constant charging and so on.

So, I looked into this adapter by GuliKit, not expensive, and it looked like it would do the job. There is nothing super special about it other than it would give the ability to pair my AirPods Pro to it or whatever Bluetooth enabled headset or headphones.

Paring the AirPods Pro was pretty easy, and they paired with noise cancellation on by default. The only problem I encountered was that, then, I had to repair the Pro’s to my phone every time I wanted to use them. Weird right?

I felt it would be better not to spend too much time troubleshooting this, so I removed any pairing records from the adapter, repaired my AirPods Pro back to the iPhone and thus to any other Macintosh device I own. Then I went ahead and paired my Power Beats Pro to the adapter. Now I have a dedicated set for just the switch, and it is working just fine.

Ever since it became a thing, I was able to set up my site to have both a light and a dark theme, and it would switch automatically depending on the system’s settings.

Said dark theme has been tinkered with for a long time until I found the right color palettes for my linking that is. Totally inspired if not blatantly stolen from one of Tweetbot’s dark mode themes 😉. So much so that I was playing with the idea of making it permanently, dark.

So, today I went ahead and made the necessary CSS changes here and there and now the lights are out on my site, if you will, with an always dark theme, ish.

I don’t think I have broken anything or messed up, but I’m sure I’ll find something at some point.

Meanwhile, I’m happy, for now.

Today’s Annie’s birthday 🥳, I won’t tell her age though 😜. It was a good day, ish. We went out for donas 🍩

Later in the afternoon, we went to see dinosaurs, dinosaurs !!! I don’t have pictures because it was a drive through “expedition” and my phone was running the YouTube video describing the tour. Also, Luna, missed about 60% of the tour because she was scared 😅

Sorry.

Then took Annie to one of her favourite stores, Ulta, and the Coop, for some birras 😉.

Now we close the day with some Vietnamese food. Brought to us by Grubhub 😅. No pictures, though. I messed up the address, and we had to go down two houses to get our food, and we devoured it.

And drinking, probably one of the best beers ever.

This week, it’s Annie’s birthday, in fact, tomorrow May 21st. We both have today and tomorrow off and trying to do fun things. It just for her, also for the kiddos. This week was also Marley’s pre-school graduation.

As part of the many activities, Marley had a school event were they gathered at a local playground to have a last play together with her class and teachers.

Marley and Luna had a blast.

After an hour or so of playing it was time to wash the car. Believe it not, both Luna and Marley enjoy this 😅. Marley wanted to go to “the car wash with the beautiful colors”, she’s talking about al the soaps. And so we went.

Then we had lunch, a small nap then we took Annie to a local brewery, Western Collective, where she was meeting with 3 of her friends as part of her birthday shenanigans.

Once she was done with that, the girls and I picked her up and went out for supper. And we went to Annie’s — and also mine — favorite restaurant in town. To which we haven’t been in over a year, perhaps two — Casa Blanca. It is a Cuban restaurant, and Cuban cuisine is very similar to Puerto Rican cuisine, so we love this place. Luna has never been here before and Marley was probably too little to remember. It’s so good!
