Jamie Thingelstad - Container Ship Queue: They normally pass 50 ships a day through the canal. With so many backed up, it will be a few days before things get back to normal. The linked article includes some cool graphical imagery of the shipping impact of the Panama Suez Canal1 being blocked. It goes to show how fragile our trade system is; and the economic value inherent in the canal.
There’ll be a new episode of Hemispheric Views podcast dropping soon. Best catch up on the last episode then. The episode is named Perthonalities! as we reference people from my home town of Perth, Australia. 49 minutes of top-quality audio enjoyment!
I’m enjoying getting to know @mandaris who sounds like one of the happiest people on Earth. A great episode! pca.st
I want an email app that works with standard IMAP, but is well-designed and something different, like Hey. Is that too much to ask?
A quick test post straight from Ulysses 22 to micro.blog. Awesome to see Ulysses supporting the best blog host on the internet!

My HEY experiment is not going well. For some reason, forwarding from Fastmail to HEY isn’t working. But I can’t be bothered figuring out why.
The battery of my iPad Pro 2017 has reached that point where it drains rapidly, even in standby. It does everything I need of it, so I could probably get a battery replacement. Or, I could buy the upcoming new iPad Pro or the current iPad Air. Prudent decision versus fun one. 🤔
Me and my boys. Benji refuses to smile for any photo.
Dammit Microbloggers, now I’m trialling HEY again.
Do you listen to @hemisphericviews podcast? Are you a member of our Discord chat room? You should do both, because at the moment I’m giving away a free license of The Archive for macOS.
My wife has a Wikipedia entry. I’m only a tiny bit jealous.
This is very clever and helpful - @Hemisphericviews Media Corner reference page. Thanks @Burk. micro.burk.io

My friend Joe and I had the opportunity to interview Nick Elam, who is the creator of basketball’s Elam Ending, for the NBL Pocket Podcast. We are on a mission to bring the Elam Ending to the Australian NBL. Having the opportunity to speak with Nick was a genuine honour. If you like basketball, I think you will like this podcast.

Johnny•Decimal: A system to organise projects: There are a couple of core concepts, and they’re so simple you’ll wonder why you haven’t thought of them before. It’s worth mentioning at this point that all of this is free, and it’s possible to implement it without any additional tools. I was introduced to the Johnny Decimal filing system by @jack. I’m going to give a go with my own computer document filing.
I’m in today’s paper, smooching my wife! ❤️😘
My wife is the incoming Member for Victoria Park in the Western Australian State Parliament!
I love, love, love creating the @Hemisphericviews podcast with @Burk and @martinfeld. If you haven’t given it a chance, this is a fun one to start with. Performance reviews to pickles,episode 22 has it all.
Not often that I’m awake early enough to hear the kookaburras doing their morning laughs. Such a great sound.
