Jason Snell writes about the consideration given to Amazon Prime: Shocked—shocked!—to find that Amazon is putting ads in Prime Video – Six Colors: when my wife and I were auditing our streaming subscriptions the other week, Prime was one of the ones that will basically never get cut, because free two-day delivery saves us money in the long run. When Amazon Prime was a USA only thing, I lusted for it.
Currently reading: From Strength to Strength by Arthur C. Brooks 📚Time to start thinking about Act II (or is it III?) 🤷♂️
I did an end of year review today. Interesting to look back on all that has happened over the course of 12 months. (tldr, a lot!)
In my on-going Pokemon-style quest to catch all the note-taking apps, I’ve bought Notebooks by Alfons Schmid.
For Christmas this year I got everybody in my family their own AI-generated Funko Pop likeness. 😃
It was @Ddanielson that made me do it! A throwback to my younger years.
Perth can be alright.
Merry Christmas.
I’ve jumped aboard the Ai-generated Funko Box bandwagon!
Hello, this is Andrew talking into MurmurType, the recording app that records and then transcribes whatever I have to say. I could use this to write a blog post, I could use this to write an essay. The only problem is, I don’t think as well speaking extemporaneously as I do when I write.

th:nth-child(3) { width: 50%; } A few people are blogging about their current subscription software. Here I am, jumping on the train.

Even with YNAB, some of the cost estimates are fuzzy because of currency exchange fluctuations.

My long national nightmare of not being able to swipe to change Apple Watch faces is over. The setting can be changed in Settings > Clock > Swipe to Switch Watch Face. Now can we revert the button functionality, Apple?
I can hardly believe our little Hemispheric Views podcast has inspired 267 blog posts!
I’ve designed a TypeForm survey. So much nicer to use than SurveyMonkey.

Once again, I’m here to blog about my favourite Mac Apps for the year. See previously: 2022 2017 The Standard Criteria For my purposes, to be considered an App of the Year, the software needs to be something I used extensively, value and enjoy. I also must feel I would miss them if they suddenly went away. Of course, it also needs to be a Mac App. OmniFocus It’s almost to the point where this app needs to be put into the Hall of Fame, and removed from future consideration.

In today’s “I’m an idiot” news, I almost feel victim to a phishing scam. I wasn’t on my A-game and almost got found out. Frightening!
