First of August! End of my social media retreat and time to catch up on messages.
🔗 Digital Minimalism Book Summary - Learn Create Share
I reread digital minimalism during my de-digital retreat and made a book summary. (Apologies for not replying to microblog comments, I’m trying to avoid all social media. I will reply to everything at the end of the month)
Catching a night of the Lublin jazz festival.
🔗 Twitter is shutting down Fleets, its expiring tweets feature - The Verge
Turns out fleets was just a fleeting experiment.
🔗 Obsidian Mobile It’s finally out for everyone! Happy days.
The latest TestFlight version of obsidian mobile is version “1.00” and the notes say it’s aimed at general release! It’s happening!!!
Krakow earlier in the week.
At least once a week I confuse discord and discourse.
New Sport Loop bands and matching downloadable watch faces feature bold designs that represent 22 nations around the world
Well, I guess I’m going to buy a new Apple Watch strap.
(New Zealand and South Africa look soo good.)
Somedays, my job involves trying to organise a CS Go tournament at work. This is both why I love my job (YAY! We get to do something fun for people) and why I hate it (Despite someone else agreeing to take the lead, I have to push this forward to make sure it’s ready in time)
Finished reading: The Obstacle is the Way: The Ancient Art of Turning Adversity to Advantage by Holiday Ryan 📚
I delayed it a week so I could add some fun pictures but a new edition of the learn create share newsletter is dropping tomorrow. Sign up if you want a creative prompt and a couple of interesting articles.
I just scheduled the next edition of the (only? Best?) newsletter for Christians who take connected notes in apps like obsidian, craft, notion et al.
I’m really excited to share the first interview with a member of the community as well as some great links and resources.
Nobody:
Me: Maybe I should start another niche newsletter.
England vs Germany ⚽️ I suspect there hasn’t been a better time to face Germany in a while…and yet it’s Germany. (P.s. I secretly hope it goes to penalties, Southgate subs himself on and takes the winning penalty. Suddenly, we’re transported back to 1996 and we find out that it was all a time loop but this time Gareth actually scored. 9/11, the financial crash and Brexit never happen).
I’m playing around with Racket thanks to @cm . Drop me a question and I’ll do my best to answer.
I wondered why you couldn’t get an AFC Richmond replica shirt…you can now .
I’m very tempted to get one with “Goldfish” on the back.
Currently thinking I might let my Readwise subscription laps. I’m not sure I’m really getting value out of it. (Sometimes I pause subscriptions to see if I miss them. If not, bye bye).
Sometimes I see great content on microblog and hop over to Twitter to post a gif reaction reply. I like that there aren’t gifs on microblog…but also I LOVE posting gif reactions.
