It’s storming outside. I’m sick and don’t have a voice. Today’s Public Holiday is wasted on me. My boy wanted me to feel better so brought me breakfast in bed. 🥰
Life admin takes up an inordinate amount of time, effort and resources. Problem with having a task manager is nothing ever gets lost in the mix. Full personal accountability can be a real bear.
The Whale, 2022 - ★★★★
Incredible acting supported by great lighting and the 4:3 aspect ratio.
The Redeem Team, 2022 - ★★★½
Turns out I like Carmelo Anthony, even though he carved up Australia when playing for USA.
Arcadia June, the annual @HemisphericViews gaming event, is getting underway. Check out our launch video!
How the heck was this opening sequence from Apple 10 years ago? Feels like last week. via @jarrod

My Favourite App — Not Spoiled in the Title
This article was originally written for the August 2022 edition of Hemispheric News, delivered as part of the Hemispheric Views podcast member bonus program, One Prime Plus. I’ve written about my favourite apps before, namely OmniFocus and DEVONthink. I starting to learn and enjoy anther app — Logseq — but I don’t feel I’m in a position to yet write about it with too much authority. I use a whole toolkit of apps on a regular basis to get my work done and enjoy my computing time.
What happened to Roam Research? For a while it was the talk of the internet. Has Obsidian entirely cut its lunch?
So it seems I will once again be addicted to a Zelda game. 🕹️
I watched Seinfeld S1E1. It holds up relatively well, apart from some of the stand-up bits that don’t factor in modern phone technology and riff on normative gender stereotypes. The episode itself was still a lot of fun. 📺
Currently reading: Atomic Habits by James Clear 📚
Finished reading: The Tools by Phil Stutz 📚 As with any “self-help” book, application is the key. Interesting how in alignment with stoicism many of the concepts are. There is nothing new in the world.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, 2023 - ★★★½
I like that I don’t need to be an MCU nerd to enjoy this film. I didn’t like the music in this as much as the first two, but playing from a brown Zune makes up for it. The corridor scene is epic.

Everything is Going to Be Alright
I was a young teenager in the early 1990s. My brother, 11 years my senior, had children early in his life. He would often come back to the family home and bring his young son and daughter with him. As the older Uncle Andy, I had responsibility for entertaining the boy. What a pain he was! Entirely obsessed with playing F/A 18 Interceptor on my Amiga 500, but so young that he could rarely get the bird off the carrier without crashing.
Voyager just slayed at Eurovision! 🎶
