Happy 2nd Birthday to Glitter In The Darkness! :D
Wow I can’t believe that I have had my very own blog for two years now! Quite often I have these “brilliant ideas” and they last a few days or weeks, then nothing ever comes of them. I did wonder if my blog would be another one of those things. It sounded like a good…

Discovering Video Calling
Over the past few months video calls seem to have taken over just about everything. Calling friends, work meetings, TV shows, hospital appointments, they are all being done over a video call.
