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’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.
Last night, I finished work on my free sketchnote layouts email course. If you want to improve your sketchnote layouts, then I’d love for you to give it a try and give me some feedback (e.g. I only covered four layouts but linked to an article with more, maybe you’d like more). Click here to join
We’re going through the book of Philippians at church soon. What are your favourite resources around it?
Technology gaslighting
For the last few years I’ve felt like tech companies and tech journalists are all trying to tell me I shouldn’t be happy with the “amazing revolutions” that came out only a year ago (but of course these new ones will all fix my problems). It’s things like the iPad which was finally a pro device when the iPad pro came out, or maybe when it got the m1 chip, or perhaps stage manager? No, sorry. It was when final cut pro and logic came out last month.
There’s nothing wrong with improvement (and sometimes “improvements” are steps backwards.) but maybe we could drop the technology gaslighting where we’re told that we’re not happy with the things we loved and they are clearly terrible now.
The new Nikon DX 24mm f1.7 sounds like a great carry around lens. Now I just need to get my z50 repaired.
As a long suffering Sheffield Wednesday fan, I am hopeful for today’s playoff match, but ready regardless of what happens. It would have to be against Barnsley, wouldn’t it.

What if you could only use ONE APP on your iPhone? – Shawn Blanc
So this is a completely random but fun experiment… but what app would you pick if you could only pick ONE?
I read this quick post from Shawn a few days back and knew my answer almost instantly – Drafts.
I’d certainly miss the camera (but I have a ricoh gr), podcast, and the sat nav in some situations, but with drafts I’d cover the other 80% I use my phone for. I could even manage my tasks there too if I needed.
Continuing with the other devices… I’d probably pick
- Mac – Arc (cheating I know, but I’d need it for work). excluding that, Obsidian.
- iPad – Reader from Readwise
I’d never choose obsidian on the iPhone, it’s just not fast enough. In fact, it almost makes me wonder if I could just switch to drafts…
What about you?
Brian Eno on why you shouldn’t get a job and be part of a scenius instead..
Time to listen to some atmospheric music, I think.
