When I asked Voicenotes to describe the picture shown in today’s video, I wasn’t expecting so many details.

As you can see below, it got very few things wrong. For example, the “I❤️🐘🏠” (I love Evernote Home) was hilariously converted to “I ❤️ 🦛”. As for the chemical structure, it is indeed caffeine, but the sticker is on my tumbler, not the laptop.

The image shows a person smiling at the camera, sitting in front of a laptop with several stickers on it. The background features a decorative wall with a geometric pattern and a window showing outside reflections. The laptop stickers include 'I'm not being rude, I'm taking notes in Evernote', a star icon inside a speech bubble, 'ActivityPub Enthusiast', 'I ❤️ 🦛', and a chemical structure, possibly caffeine. There is also a stainless-steel tumbler with the same chemical structure sticker.

As a side note, that is a goodbye photo. On that day, I was told that the Starbucks would be closing for a period of 18 months. Like what happened when I lived in Boston, it took me a few weeks to find the best Starbucks in Porto to take breaks from working at my office.

A person with a beard and cap is sitting at a table with a laptop and a drink container covered in various stickers.

This one had a fairly evenly split number of local and international customers. It was never full of tourists, and, at the same time, that peaceful feeling of listening to people speak so many different languages was still present. Then there were the enjoyable conversations with many baristas who started talking to me because of the sticker with a caffeine molecule on my tumbler. One even asked me if I was a chemistry professor 😄

I’ll now have to go on a new quest to find another similar fun place. Maybe it’s the Universe’s way of reminding me that change can bring unexpected positive outcomes.

Have a lovely week, Vlad.
