Find and replace.

    Working from home is great: I don’t have a long commute and get more time with my family.

    Working from home is terrible: I feel guilty if I’m not “working” while at home, and there are so many distractions.

    I switch through these emotions multiple times a week and day.

    How to live like a Roman emperor.

    1. Get a time machine.
    2. Learn Latin and Roman cultural practices
    3. Go back in time to a few years before an emperor dies and at a stable period of history
    4. Rise through the ranks of the Political class and win favour with the emperor
    5. Become the new emperor

    Apparently all it takes to make me want a book is to put it in a cloth cover. See

    I decided to get my Nikon Z50 out and just see if I could turn it on. I could and I managed to use the viewfinder (even thought the lcd screen is still bust). This makes getting it repaired much cheaper!

    New stickers for the laptop cover. Thanks micro camp.

    I reached podcast inbox zero! It’s been a while.

    I had wondered why I couldn’t see threads and now I know. It’s not in the EU.. That makes me raise an eyebrow over their use of data.

    My car got a puncture while my wife was driving. Luckily an American friend came to help me replace the tire with our spare. Happy Independence Day.

    I’m working on a new in-depth sketchnote tutorial. One of the best things about making these is that I iron out my own drawing processes and learn new techniques. So I grow and I get to help other people too. Win win.

    While I was away last week, my team moved to notion projects. So now I have no idea what I need to do, I have an inbox with at least 300 notion notifications and I can’t find some of those tasks that are in the emails. How’s your Monday going?

    For me, The main effect of Google analytics 4 will be that I remove analytics from most sites. I just don’t need it.

    Really hoping and praying this coup will lead to a withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine. Doesn’t seem likely but it’s more likely than it was yesterday.

    I might be doing a virtual event / summit. Any recommended tools?

    I’m a protestant but I love icons. I found this beautiful one on instagram and decided to make my own version in procreate. The original artist has a lot more detail! Fun experiment with textures though.

    Here’s everything I know about taking visual notes in the workplace (personal usage not as a facilitator or anything). I’m going to add more based on feedback/suggestions if you fancy give it a look. Context: corporate settings mostly hence “1:1s” and stuff like this. I’d love other perspectives.

    Apparently “quiet quitting” (where you don’t go beyond your job requirements) is “a $9 trillion suck on the economy”. It’s such classic capitalism that workers are expected to do more (if not they are “slacking”) and yet corporations can treat employees like crap.

    I never noticed how big a deal angels are in Luke.

    This morning I finished reading Luke and noticed that it was angels who told the women that Jesus was alive. Suddenly I remembered how common they are especially compared to the other gospels.

    Can’t wait to notice if this is true of Acts.

    Woke up on my in-laws small holding and had a coffee outside in the morning sun while listening to the sounds of the countryside. The best way to start the day.
