Can anybody recommend a reasonable monitor to be connected to a MacBook Air for business use? i.e. gaming performance not required.
Of course my kid’s ancient hand-me-down iPad Air dies 2 months before Christmas and his birthday. The family hand-me-down process is complicated by the A14X iPad Pro not yet existing.
Hey look! It’s summertime Drew!

Just another day in sunburn paradise. The Booj about to go on a 🐪 ride.
Vote Biden. The world doesn’t need 4 more years of this bollocks.
TheBrain v12 beta is looking quite amazing. This might be the answer to all my recent explorations for a capture/note-taking application.
Again, again, again!
Oh no. I have the hiccups.

Family Getaway - Four Elements Farm Stay
We spent a few days at Four Elements Farm Stay in the South-West of Western Australia. I relaxed into it quite quickly. The owner of the Farmstay, Pete, offered daily activities for the kids in the morning and the evening. While the ride in the ATV would have been enough, catching marron in the dam was even better. These photos don’t do justice to the size of this bonfire. It was pumping out some serious heat.
The micro.blog community is the best! Both @jack and @twelvety have provided me with with thoughtful, genuine feedback about Roam.
Kids and their phones these days. What happened to a good old fashioned conversation?
I’m being drawn towards Roam. I’ve emailed @twelvety for his thoughts, and I imagine @jack must have some too. It’s expensive, but I’m also searching for a really great daily note system and knowledge database combined.
Buying an iMac late last year must go down as one of my best ever computer purchasing decisions. I freakin' love this thing, and timing it for the year of working from home has been perfect.
Outliners & Daily Notes
I’ve been considering whether my current DEVONthink daily note is the best system for rapid note taking. Of course there’s nothing wrong with it, other than it being super-basic. DEVONthink Pros Wikilinking (automatic and manual) to other notes. Integrated into broader DEVONthink Search/See Also system. No-nonsense, no futzing with formatting. DEVONthink Cons No genuine Markdown editing support. No outlining support Just a plain text document. I’ve been looking at Dynalist and Workflowy.
The Hemispheric Views podcast has hit the big time, scoring a guest appearance by the one and only @macgenie. @Burk, @martinfeld and I were honoured to chat with her about micro.blog’s upcoming Day in the Life of… photoshoot, old things in our house and streaming media.
Containers for Change
Over the past two years my wife has been working at Containers for Change. This is a not-for-profit organisation enabled by the Western Australian Government and funded by the private sector. When she started it was a start-up organisation working out of a tiny shared office with big plans to get a container deposit scheme (i.e. return drink bottles and cans for cash) up and running across our State. A week ago, the scheme launched.
