I finished reading Thinking, Fast and Slow. It’s clearly the benchmark book about behavioural economics and is more interesting than the Keynesian textbooks that formed the basis of my economics degree. The only downside was the final section, which dragged just a bit. 📚
Still thinking about Wild Wild Country. I’d love to know what happened to some of the people who were on the ranch. Did they become Grandparents? Did they go back to living ordinary lives?
Wow, Wild Wild Country is a tour de force of documentary production. I remember Bhagwan and Sheela from TV reports as a kid, but this told the larger story in such a compelling way.
I hate that feeling of knowing there was something you wanted to say to somebody, but can’t for the life of you remember what it was. So it just nags at the back of the mind, teasing you.
Had an awesome day in the city with Mr. 6 year old. We followed our noses all day, which led to a series of great experiences. With no pressure to meet an agenda it seemed we were more open to accept experiences from the world, and the world delivered.
In Apple Store Perth and even the demo MacBook Pro has a dodgy ‘n’ on its keyboard.
Firefox for iOS seems really fast and I like its tracking protection. But not being able to set is as a default browser is such a pain (iOS issue; not their fault). Does anybody else bother trying to use it full time?
I’m no artist, that’s for sure.
Don’t anticipate the worst; it might just work out better than that.
It was fun to volunteer to hit a free throw in a ‘triple or nothing’ scenario at basketball fitness training today. Nothing but net; saved everybody some running. 🏀
3 years ago today I was at the Great Smoky Mountains, Tennessee. I want to go back!
Tried using the native Apple Podcast app again, mainly because of its Apple TV app. The experiment lasted less than 24 hours. Skip controls in-car pushed to new episode, not forward a few seconds, no smart speed is a huge loss, and interface is way too spartan. Back to Overcast.
I knocked my presentation out of the park! Thanks for the well-wishes from the micro.blog community!
Micro.blog is building something special, and I’m happy to be a part of the community.

I’ve done two practice runs of a 30 minute talk I’m delivering tomorrow. Each run through has been very different, but both have finished exactly on time. Let’s hope that at the actual event I am as effective with my time management.
So happy to be back into reading, and out from social media. This afternoon I had an unexpected wait. I didn’t read Twitter. I opened the Kindle app and read a book. Turned a frustration into an opportunity.
Argh, kernel panic crash.
My boy is having fun with the say command in Terminal, and learning some text editing principles at the same time.
My boy made me a bookmark. It makes me smile each time I start to read.
Finished another session of Full Court Fitness. Not as ruined as last time, but I still worked really hard. Despite the physical exertion, there’s nothing much better than being on a basketball court. 🏀
