To hel and back

    Westerplatte yesterday

    Good morning from our holiday in Gdańsk.

    I think I’ve finally got to grips with making American pancakes.

    A bit of hand lettering to relax this evening. Haven’t tried this in ages. Time lapse on Instagram.

    A technique for producing ideas sketchnote summary

    A quick little book summary sketchnote of a quick little book: a technique for producing ideas. Main action takeaways are

    1. dig deep in your initial research.
    2. be curious and collect information about general interests as well as the problems you are investigating.
    3. when you are stuck, do something emotionally stimulating.

    Finished reading 📖 Dominion by Tom Holland

    Just finished dominion by Tom Holland And here are some thoughts.

    Summary

    Western culture including secularism and humanism have inherently Christian values that drive them.

    The cross is significant

    The cross, and the symbolism of the Crucified God, the powerful humbling themselves for the powerless, is the key aspect of Christianity.

    Christian civil wars

    There is an ongoing tension between the letter and spirit of the laws.

    Slavery

    The abolition of slavery seems like the most unexpected event. It almost feels as though it was purely the work Benjamin lay. Certainly most cultures didn’t see it as an issue but only appealing to Christian ideas of a common ancestory and the equality of all (no male/female, Jew/Greek) saw it as wrong.

    Obsidian opinion:

    • looking at the open graph view is basically useless.
    • looking at the local graph view with 2 or 3 depth is fantastic.

    Time to rewrite a homepage …

    I’ve been creating a series of minimalist animal faces with my daughter in procreate. A limited colour pallet, square design, set of pens and that’s about it. It’s a fun little challenge we can do together. There are A LOT more.

    A mid day walk

    I think about this a lot.

    Anyone else?

    A morning trip to the forest. A great way to start the day as a family.

    A meditation metaphor

    How it started. How it’s going. First Mac (retina MacBook Pro late 2013), new Mac (MacBook Air 2020 m1)

    Good morning from Wieliczka.

    Some thoughts about tasks.

    Cleaned up my obsidian database a bit. Starting to turn into something.
