Carrd has just announced their Black Friday sale (40% off pro plans with the code BF2023). I’ve made a few mini sites over the last couple of years using carrd (and it’s saved me tones on WordPress hosting fees!) Here’s my affiliate link if you’d like to try it.
I would expect someone should get to grips with the oxford comma after 6 months of a writer being in a company that requires it. And yet, here we are. Every. Single. Article.
Something I’ve learned from the design team at my current company. Things that you think must be simple to do (Making a design ready to print) can take a lot of work. It’s like development when you want them to “just add a button” but there’s a lot that needs to go into getting that ready.
My recent sketchnote on divergent and convergent thinking is probably my favourite I’ve made in ages. It really feels like “Me” and that I actually have a style. Plus its an interesting topic (to me).
Recently, I’ve had to download direct updates to obsidian (rather than get automatic updates in the background). The first time it happened didn’t seem that strange but it now feels (although it’s clearly not this often) that it’s every update.
Loki season 2 was just fantastic.
Took my daughter to see her first firm in the cinema today. Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie. And now we’re drawing pictures of Skye.
My daughter is very excited for the final Mario kart expansion. And she’s not the only one.
Zotero is one of those tools that I know can be amazing, but gives me no help in working out HOW it can be amazing. It feels like there’s such a gap in assumed knowledge in most resources I find.
🎥 Brain Fog / how i cured it with one simple remedy - YouTube
Summary: Intermittent Fasting is the best cure.
I’ve struggled with brain fog recently, especially since covid times. I thought it was long covid (and there may be something related to that) but reading the list of causes (Medications, caffeine, social media, insomnia, lack of exercise, poor nutrition, stress) made me realise that I’m definitely not helping myself!
I’m not going to take this video as the only source of authority, but certainly some of it matches my quarter goals around health.
Also, this is just a really well created video.
The year is almost over. What’s the best book you’ve read this year? Fiction and nonfiction suggestions please.
Random morning thoughts: Are we basically using the PARA (Projects, Areas, Resources, Archive) at work? (Maybe not exactly but the main ideas are there). What would it look like if we adopted those ideas more? (not sure). Is PARA a good system for organising data in companies? (I think so).
Mammoths still roam the earth.

iPhone photographers. What’s your favourite editing app? I’ve used darkroom for a long time and snapseed before that. I’ve got a tone of legacy VSCO filters but I hate the import / export process. @maique @pcora @jemostrom @zsbenke @numericcitizen
People who use third party camera apps on the iPhone: What’s your favourite?
I’ve basically just used the stock camera for years but I’m interested in using a third party one again. Is Halide the best?
Touch typing feels like a superpower…
Until you look up from the text you’ve been copying and realise your finger was one space off and now you have lines and lines of gobbledegook.
Yes, it just happened.
Just wanted to say thank you everyone for your kind words, thoughts and prayers. Everything did go well and smoothly and my son’s been running around like nothing happened at all. I’m really grateful for your messages and encouragement even if I didn’t reply at the time. @rcrackley @odd @aa @danalcantara @KyleEssary @maique @crossingthethreshold @V_ @philbowell
And we’re heading home.
