Currently reading: The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday 📚. I am hoping I will be able to read this each day this year. I need to escape the mental health dangers and associated anxiety of ruminating upon things I can’t control.
Stutz, 2022 - ★★★★
Me bring me, I wanted more technical details of application.
The Menu, 2022 - ★★★★
A gastronomical delight, with acting to die for.
Depression is a right bastard. ☹️
Hustle, 2022 - ★★★½
I’m old so I liked cameos by old guys. But this is a movie for the next gen, with a solid development montage.
I’m contemplating a career change - or at least a new job. Is there anybody out there that might be interested in having a conversation?
Today I learned that Siri can identify buffalo grass with its machine learning.
Uncle Buck, 1989 - ★★
It’s pretty bad, but it still an iconic 80s movie.
It was wonderful to have a conversation with @heyscottyj today. Another cool friendship in the making.
I’m trialling Raycast (again 🙄) as a possible replacement for Launchbar.
Harry Froling has nothing on Nick Tan!
My App Toolkit 2023
At the beginning of 2023, an update to my 2020 post about my App Toolkit.
It is still overflowing with tools, although I think it’s in better shape than at my last review.

Does anybody know what has become of @smokey - no activity for a couple of years on any of his sites.
My favourite tree.
I’m going through a tough time. Day One has been a blessing to capture thoughts, feelings and emotions. The subscription is worth every cent.
Finished reading: A Guide for Grown-ups by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry 📚
Microsoft Authenticator will no longer work on Apple Watch. I use this feature every single day. 😖
Strange World, 2022 - ★★½
A story of climate change wrapped up in some impressive animation and characters that I didn’t warm to.
Die Hard, 1988 - ★★★★½
Now I have a 64-bit computer. Ho Ho Ho.
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, 1992 - ★★½
1992 really seems a different era, back when you could board a plane because you assumed your parents were on it. Slapstick cruelty is still fun, though.
