awkward product placement in Ted Lasso and The Morning Show
One of the most annoying parts of Ted lasso and the morning show is the awkward use of iPhones. Anytime someone gets a text, it’s shown on the iPhone and the camera has to do a close up of this small text. Shows like Sherlock found an easier way to show texts by making bubbles appear around the character, but these shows don’t do that as they must include the product placement of the iPhone.
Foundation is an acceptable “sorry Ted Lasso is over till next year, here have this” Gift.
Storyworthy book summary with Sketchnote - Learn Create Share
One of the best nonfiction books I’ve read this year.
If you had told me three years ago that ducks would be one of my most photographed subjects…I wouldn’t have believed you.
Visual note takers. I’d love your opinions on this. Reply here.
Is there a website (or service?) that find every book/article/study referenced in a book and then provides it as a simple document? Basically giving you access to a bibliography without having the book. I’d love to have an easy way to copy and paste some into a document to then work through.
I picked up a Nikon FTZ adaptor yesterday so I’m looking to get some new, old lenses! First stop is a nifty fifty I think.
A recent duck photo.
From a walk a couple of weeks back.
🔗 America Without God — The Atlantic
An article along the “are we replacing religious allegiance/belief with politics?” lines.
Major Ted lasso spoilers from Nick Mohammed but really good insights into the writing and some points I missed.
Football is life!
Are you using the new Focus modes? What have you set up?
🔗 First Look at WordPress’ Upcoming Twenty Twenty-Two Default Theme: “The Most Flexible Default Theme Ever Created for WordPress” – WP Tavern
Reigstad said the theme will be “built for Full Site Editing first,” with as little CSS as possible, and all theme styles configurable through theme.json wherever possible, so users can edit them through Global Styles.
Of course WordPress would have to tempt me with an upcoming default theme! The tie in with 5.9 makes sense with the full site editing push. Still not sure what I make of WordPress’s direction. It’s surprising how page builders still seem prevalent despite the advances in Gutenberg.

🔗 Scotland's version of 'hygge' - BBC
“But it isn’t just MacLeod’s sumptuous hot toddy choux buns, Heilan' coo cupcakes or haggis bon bons that have made the soft-spoken chef a viral sensation. By serving his food with a side of Hebridean folklore, Scottish Gaelic tongue twisters and traditional music – as well as the occasional cameo by his wee Westie pup, Seòras – Coinneach’s goal is to bring the best of Hebridean culture to the world”
A hot toddy choux bun sounds fantastic! Not so sure about the haggis bon bon though.
Hum. The phone charger in the car doesn’t seem to be working. I wonder if it’s died? It wasn’t the most expensive. Oh, okay. I see now.
It’s amazing how concepts like “identity” can be defined in a paragraph but you could write an endless series of books on them.
Yes, I’ve been thinking about identity recently.
🔗 Best Habits to Track in 2021. Analyzing Habit Tracking Behavior from… by Coach Tony Coach.me App Medium
Every year I go through our data from Coach.me to see what habits people have started tracking and what habits they’ve stopped tracking. The result is a snapshot of what is becoming more popular and what is becoming less popular.
A really interesting list of habits and what are the most popular (see if you can predict the top five).
