Ted Lasso is brilliant. Most enjoyable show I’ve watched in a long time.

The other day I was complaing about the lack of extensions in Safari. After hearing about Brett Terpstra @ttscoff talk about Workona I’m trialling it in Firefox. This thing is a game-changer. I’m loving it.

A reminder to my future self: Create email (and other) templates in Textexpander but embrace writing them in Markdown. Then use Brett Terpstra’s Markdown Services Tool to convert the template text into rich text prior to sending. This will solve the problem of Textexpander’s rich text editor being so flakey and annoying.
I deleted the YouTube app from my iPhone because I was sick of saying “No” whenever it tried to gain background access to my microphone. Own goal, YouTube.
I enjoyed hearing @miraz talk to @martinfeld on his Lounge Ruminator podcast. I like crosswords but I never seem to be able to settle for simple things. 🤔

Very little happening in the NBL this week, but we still managed to talk for an hour about it. That’s true passion! The NBL Pocket Podcast / Brett Brown, John Mooney nicknames and Draymond Green’s tweets 🏀 🎙

My third visit back to the gym after a lay-off of about 18 months(!). Really happy with the weight training I did today. Improving quicker than I had anticipated! 🏋🏻♂️
This Apple Music radio show with Billie Eilish and her Dad is surprisingly good. music.apple.com
I hope Safari 14 on Big Sur brings better extensions. I’ve been a Safari loyalist but it’s becoming increasingly difficult to justify compared with Firefox/Edge/Chrome.

International Mac Nerds
Monday, August 17, 2020
Martin Feld, Jason Burk and I recorded a ‘pilot episode’ of a podcast idea we had been germinating. Martin has been kind enough to host the episode on his site.
I have not listened to this album for a long time… but it’s still great. 🎶 music.apple.com
Setapp Audit
Sunday, August 16, 2020
I’ve been a subscriber to Setapp since it launched. In fact, I participated in a pre-launch user interview to help the MacPaw team develop the offering. I’ve been a happy customer, and I believe I may be grandfathered into an older plan because I am permitted two seats. This has traditionally been for two Macs, but with Setapp now commencing a formalised iOS offering, I suppose this now makes more sense as a Mac + iPad combination.
