I want to say something stupid like, “go home, America, you’re drunk”, but this is more serious than that. How about,“impeach Trump immediately”?
I got to 87 daily reviews in Readwise before I broke the chain.
My purchased licenses for BusyCal and BusyContacts ran out. My Setapp subscription to the rescue, with both of those apps included in the bundle!
I had the opportunity to use a Remarkable 2 yesterday. I don’t want one, I don’t want one… Help!!!
Is there a blogging/publishing platform that allows writing in the form of an outline, besides Little Outliner?
Currently reading: Beartown: A Novel by Backman, Fredrik 📚
Okay, this is smart. Using a Discourse forum as a blog of sorts. Keeping topics tied together. This eliminates the stupid date-based approach of a blog, without the hassle of a wiki.
Kyle, from Apple Fitness+, is no joke. I tried hard, Kyle, I promise!
Back to Dropbox with Blot
About 18 months ago I transitioned the publishing of this site to use Git. It was cool, but overly cumbersome for my needs. I avoided posting here because of the overhead that Git created with respect to the publishing process. At the same time, I didn’t want to install Dropbox on my computers because of its massive overhead, and I don’t use Dropbox for anything else. I’ve got a solution now though.
2020 Retrospective
What are the rules about linking to my own post on another website I own? Andrew Canion - 2020 Retrospective: For me, the narrative that 2020 was a complete write-off is not fair. A lot happened in 2020 and much of it has been positive and transformational.
2020 Retrospective
The general world-view of 2020 is that it was shit. In many ways, I agree. However, living in Perth, Western Australia in 2020 had to have been one to the best outcomes. We have been largely unaffected by COVID-19 in terms of community transmission. We had a period of lockdown as a precautionary measure. However, thanks to a combination of geographic isolation, good government and civil obedience we have been able to continue a relatively good standard of life.
This kid is a little ripper.
2021 is go. No expectation that it will be a salve for 2020 but still taking the optimistic approach.
Did a 20 minute Apple Fitness+ workout. I need heavier dumb-bells. 🏋🏻
Dynalist as a Tool for Daily Notes
I’ve been consciously taking more and better daily notes. Part of this is to build a greater awareness of what I do and how I spend my time. Part of it is to be able to capture and later resurface information. I’ve tried a number of various solutions to this. I experimented with Bullet Journaling (with a pen and journal) and using the Cortext Podcast’s Theme Journal. However, paper creates too much friction considering that I am usually in front of a screen of some sort and I want digital information in any case.
For any micro.bloggers that play games - even rarely and recreationally like me - there is a Discord server you might like. I think this invite link dies in 1 day, but the channel is Micro.Blog Game Days. discord.gg/7agXe9fG
Rosé Day. 38°C.
In the last few days I’ve been more successful writing daily notes with Dynalist than I have been with any number of previous software options. I think outliners are simply my jam.
Started playing Animal Crossing. It’s a game of nothing that somehow consumes your time like a ravenous time phantom.
