Drink time. Sure it’s weird and green, but she seems happy!
When your birthday dinner finishes with cups of tea all round, you know you’re getting old.
Last night we were out for dinner and ended up at the casino playing roulette. For the heck of it my wife and friend put chips on the date of my birth - 15. That spin, it turned up 15! 100 to 1 odds! We should have placed more chips on the turn!
For my birthday my wife upgraded me from my work-issued iPhone SE to an iPhone 8 Plus Product (Red). What an upgrade; finally I’m using iPhone apps as they are intended. And my hands which can palm a basketball are much happier with the bigger keyboard.
Happy birthday me. I made it through another year. 41 years young.
I’d typed a huge note into Agenda for iOS, when the app crashed and lost everything. I’m likely heading back to Bear sooner than anticipated with that kind of performance.
It was fun to put the kids to bed tonight with a couple of “telling stories”. Of course, they were the main characters in the stories and accomplished a number of heroic deeds, besting both Rory the Dinosaur and an Evil King!
It’s easy to go down the rabbit hole following guidance documents on the Australian Tax Office website. What starts as a simple administrative tax task leads to high-level introspection and doubt about one’s correctness.
My next software experiment is Agenda. Might it find a place somewhere between DevonThink, Bear, OmniFocus and BusyCal - or will it wither on the vine?
My kid is best friends with my best friend’s kid. That makes for good times!
Had a great basketball fitness session today. Really got the blood pumping!
That mode where you are doing every other bit of work except for that one thing you really should be doing.
Trying out the app uBar which was just added to Setapp. I’m conflicted as it seems useful, but makes my Mac feel a bit too much like Windows for my liking.
Has Overcast been Sherlocked? Apple’s Podcasts app continues to demonstrate integration benefits, but until they enhance their app and can compete with Smart Speed and other niceties, I’ll just have to live without the benefit of those deep platform hooks.
I played basketball today. I couldn’t makes midrange shot to save myself, but I was about 45% from 3 metres beyond the three-point line. Go figure.
What winter?
Driving through Bassendean where we owned our first home and being reminded how pretty this area is. Our kids, who never knew this area, would probably love living here.
The kid doesn’t mind a lollipop.
