Shut up, Thierry Henry!
Happy Ted Lasso Day! We’ve got our watching plans ready for later. Come on you greyhounds!
As a recipient of a newsletter, do you prefer substack or revue? (Or other)
I man. I put up shelf (my wife helped a lot. It was such a faff! Seriously, I lose adult points on this, but I’m glad it’s done! )
Morning thought. I love how I can be my full self on micro blog. I can talk about technology, work, share a pic from my travels, find other ukulele players all in the same day (and that doesn’t feel wrong). It’s a real testament to the community.
It’s so hard to concentrate with my daughter and her cousin playing next door… But I get to hear them both go “SPAGHETTI!!!!” So who cares!
I’ve been putting together a set of resources on Galatians for my church as it’s our next sermon series. Any resources you’d recommend?
I used to think gaps and career changes in a CV were bad…and maybe some employers still view them like this (especially when you get TONES of applicants) but for me, they just make me curious. We’re interviewing someone soon and they went through a major career change recently so I can wait to ask about it.
Was so great to see people at the sketchnote micro camp session. I know @cm really enjoyed preparing it too. And here’s my sketchnote selfie (trying some different styles this time).
We tried to make a frappe today. I discovered we needed more ice (wow you need a lot of ice!) and a bigger blender 😬
So it turns out that we now get charged for packages coming from the UK. I wonder what other lacking side effects of Brexit we will discover as time goes on.
Apparently the iOS 15 public betas are out. Anyone on the developer betas have an opinion on the stability / battery life?
How do you know if they're a good app reviewer?
Would you more trust a reviewer who jumps apps as often as they change clothes or one who hasn’t changed app in years? The one who always changes probably is probably too interested in novelty over real usefulness, but the long term user might be too stuck in their ways. I saw a forum discussion with defenders of certain reviewers locked in verbal battle with each other. It made wonder if you really can achieve unbiased reviews. I guess that’s why I try to find a tool I like and then work out how to get as much value out of it as possible. Obsidian may well not be the best of these connected notes apps (and I may not be using the “best” plugins) but it works for me and I’m happy with that.
Bye bye old iPhone XS case, hello new iPhone XS case!
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.

Sharing and Privacy; Delayed Reaction [Podcast #328] - ChurchMag
Yes, we know, we know. Apple’s WWDC 2021 happened a while ago. But guess what? Somewhere in the mine conversation post that event there were some gems we just had to share. In this episode Blessing Mpofu and Chris Wilson unpack two big themes––sharing and privacy, that came out of the event.
