That feeling when you wake up at 3:15am to record a podcast interview, then figure it’s not worth trying to go back to sleep after it’s done. I appreciate what @Burk deals with when we record @HemisphericViews now.
Calendar Hero
Monday, March 8, 2021
Calendar Hero » tyler.io: It sits on your Desktop, below all of your other windows, and…shows your weekly calendar. It highlights the current day, the current hour of that day, and shows a countdown until your next event. That’s it. That’s all I want. This is terrific for somebody like me who is guided through life by his calendar.
Giraffe at Perth Zoo

Giraffe It was amazing to be able to see the giraffes at Perth Zoo close-up yesterday. They have big heads!

Audio-Technica ATH-M50x
Sunday, March 7, 2021
I bought a set of Audio-Technica ATH-M50x to replace my ageing Bose QuietComfort 15s. I’d already replaced the earmuffs on the Bose’s a couple of times. Now the headphones have the exterior coating of the foam flaking off. I was also getting sick of having to replace the AAA battery on a regular basis. My headphones are basically restricted to desk use only these days, so I was happy to buy new headphones that didn’t feature Bluetooth - wiring into my EVO4 audio interface is fine, and in terms of latency and audio quality, preferable.
Back to the Future, 1985 - ★★★★★
Saturday, March 6, 2021
It’s been years since I’ve seen this movie. The editing is great; no scene is wasted. Christopher Lloyd is slapstick gold. Why don’t they make films like this anymore?
I love this album. It makes my wife contemplate an early death. music.apple.com
I’ve settled into a great ’daily notes and other documentation’ system using Dynalist. I’ve never had this much consistent success with any app, except for perhaps Day One, which I also still use.

Wall

Take two at publishing via wall.blot.im. When did this become a thing? Fascinating.
I Forgot About 1Writer
Tuesday, March 2, 2021
I also own 1Writer, which also plugs directly into Dropbox, and is, arguably, a better editor. It’s certainly a more fully-featured one. Yes, I own many text editors. It’s the curse of the tinkerer. I also forgot that you can pretend a file name with _ in Blot and it won’t publish it as a live post. I’ve done that with this entry, so ideally it will publish when I’m finished and ready - not when I’m just getting started.
Posting here using Byword
Tuesday, March 2, 2021
I’ve owned Byword for many years. I think it was the first Markdown editor I bought, for both iOS and macOS. I abandoned it a long time ago as well, as it seemed to pale in comparison with other Markdown editors. In looking for an easier way to post to Blot via Dropbox, however, Greg Moore suggested Byword. I’ve installed it here on my iPad, and it does connect neatly to Dropbox - bypassing the futzy iOS Files.
Micro.blog has been on fire the last few days. I’ve really enjoyed the interactions. Thanks everybody! 🔥 💯 🤚🏻
I do a weekly Australian National Basketball League (NBL) podcast, NBL Pocket Podcast. Today’s episode is out and I think it’s a particularly fun one. 🏀 🎙

Alfred on macOS seems to be much more dynamically developed than Launchbar. As a long-time Launchbar user I’m wondering if it’s time to invest in the Alfred PowerPack and retrain my fingers?
A question for the micro.bloggers: What is the website you most often visit, and why? Mine is probably ABC News - Australia because I’m old.
