🔗 Walport ahoy! - Paul Wells

Walport couldn’t help noticing that Canada is a sucking black hole for information-sharing, although I bet he never imagined his own report would gather dust for half a year for no reason anyone has ever explained nor ever will.

This is too important to not be taken seriously

🏃‍♂️ Preparing for this weekend’s gluttony with an easy (mostly) trail run

A dirt road runs through a countryside landscape under a clear blue sky, with overlayed information detailing an outdoor running activity of 17.68 km at an average pace of 5'41" per kilometer.

🏃‍♂️ I was very lucky to win a pair of Arc’teryx Norvans at the recent Truth & Reconciliation Trail Run. I picked them up today and look forward to trying them out. Big thanks to Arc’teryx for the support!

Finished reading: The Fires of Heaven by Robert Jordan. I’m simultaneously delighted and intimidated by how long these books are and how many of them are left to go 📚

I appreciate new customisation options in iOS 18 for the Control Centre, mostly so that I can remove many of the controls. That said, I took the opportunity to add a control to launch a daily meditation session. The associated shortcut switches to Do Not Disturb and launches directly into the meditation. This has been really helpful in reducing the friction and distractions from building a meditation habit.

🔗 How to Choose The Best Methods for your Health and Performance // David Lipman

So don’t go jumping onto the latest trend, especially not if it’s been around for less time than it takes for your eggs to go bad in the fridge. When any new method arrives, it is worth spending some time evaluating the underlying principles of the method. Particularly seeking where it is similar and where it differs from the established methods at the time to try and work out if there really is much difference (there’s often less difference than people would like to believe or argue there is on the internet).

📖 Hooray!

Email from Apple Books that “The Armageddon Protocol” is now available
