I’ve used a logi lift almost non stop for at least a year. But this week I’ve been back to the Magic Mouse as my logi battery is running low, and it’s been better than I remembered. I haven’t felt the rsi issues I had in the past and the ability to sideways scroll easily is great. BUT I really hate the random jumps between spaces.

Taking the kids to the Kraków garden of lights. This year’s theme is „mini world” and my favourites part is that America is definitelyed by burgers and fries. (There were other things…but it still rings true). We’ve been about four years now and I think this was the best.

Colleague at work did what I can only call a power play on me. It’s very frustrating as she has caused the same issue she really hates when working with me and if she’d followed the process we should have done, it wouldn’t have been an issue.

📹 The Best and Worst Camera Gear of 2024 - Peta Pixels Jordan and Chris I’m not as into photography and don’t follow reviews at all, but I will always watch this end of the year review with drinking games.

I’ve got some Audible credits, are there any books you recommend as audiobooks? (fiction, non-fiction I don’t mind. I also wouldn’t mind a scifi series but I never know what book to start with).

Just wrapped my secret Santa for my work colleagues. Pretty proud of my gift selection (and the wrapping paper obviously).

A set of reflective prompts from the CEO of Obsidian.

The first sketchy advent is out. Hope and Isaiah 9:2,6-7.

I got a tea advent calendar as a gift from work. The first is liquorice and it’s nice!

The first sketchy advent drops tomorrow. I’m using the themes of the advent candles to guide the verses, images and reflections. Tomorrow, is hope.

Well. Guess I need to go to the optometrist. I was really struggling to read text on my laptop screen yesterday. I’ve had a feeling for a few weeks that I ought to get my eyes checked just to be sure. Now I know I need to.

Snipd, The podcast app I like (if you triple tap it adds a bookmark and makes an AI summary of the section) has a Black Friday offer on its premium version. I wish it had a desktop app but otherwise I love it.

Apparently the Australian mint have made Bluey “1 dollar (buck) coins”. This is clearly a clever ploy to drive up the value of the Australian Dollar by getting millions of foreign nationals to invest.

Listening to U2: How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb (Remastered 2024).

I love this album. I know hating U2 became a thing for a while but it’s good (as are many of the other earlier albums).

Finished reading: Show Your Work! by Austin Kleon 📚

Reread partially to juice my reading numbers, partially for an easy read to get back into reading but mostly to remember some of the ideas.

Sometimes I see stuff about “liberals” and think “that’s such a straw man”.

After 5 minutes on bluesky, I can see where some of the crazy stereotypes come from.

WordPress 6.7 is here as is the new default theme Twenty Twenty-Five. Seems like it might suit Sketchy Ideas well (and allow me to move away from a WP Engine related theme)

It’s a mju day, it’s a mju life, it’s a mju world. And I’m feeling good.

My brother is visiting so I took him to the Jewish coffee shop and cultural centre. One of my favourite spots in krakow.

I opened the mac App store to update Final Cut Pro (this one goes to 11) and it made me realise something.

I miss minimal writing apps.

Yes, there are still some out there but most now are some sort of PKM app. There was something beautiful about the basic writing app era.

Now, please excuse me while I add a note about this to Obsidian.
