There’s sure to be a good caper behind this busted safe in the middle of the woods

Happy birthday to my favourite daughter!
Lucy couldn’t quite manage the last burpee challenge in today’s One Academy Collision class
My favourite gym has a charity event on Saturday supporting Nellie’s Shelter for women & children. If you’re new to One Academy, your first class if free! So, a great chance to get a good workout & support an important cause
I’m really enjoying these Biggest Ideas in the Universe videos from Sean Carroll. Sufficiently nerdy to be interesting without getting too detailed.
Lots of good 90s music nostalgia on this Incomparable episode
China Miéville’s Perdido Street Station is intensely creative and very entertaining 📚
A big thanks to Brie and Paul for the homemade masks!
Apple’s Mobility Trends tool is intriguing. Curious to see that transit declines early, quickly, and the most. Makes sense, I suppose, given that transit users are in close proximity.
What is Real by Adam Becker is a great book on the measurement problem in quantum physics. Becker writes very clearly about the actual physics of the problem and the fascinating history. Such a clear example of how science is a human endeavour with politics and personalities 🔭📚
A small change to my quarantine home office with large ergonomic impacts: I’ve added a Lamicall iPad stand. Much better and more flexible positioning of the iPad with this simple device.
I hadn’t expected to see gas below $1/L ever again 🚗
Quarantine home gym weights 💪
The face you make when you’re dealt 23 damage in one round
A good day for board games
I’ve found the Eno’s new album Mixing Colours really helpful while working from home under quarantine with the rest of my family. 🎧
I enjoyed Star Trek Picard. A fun mix of nostalgia, new characters, and interesting story. Plus Patrick Stewart really is a great actor. I’m glad they had a chance to complete Data’s story, after the abrupt ending in Nemesis. 📺
2 kg of coffee should keep me going in quarantine for a while ☕️
A sentence I never expected to write: A big thank you to my sister for delivering much needed toilet paper while I was in quarantine. A messy emergency was approaching 😬
A hopeful sight in the backyard
A big thank you to One Academy for live-streaming exercise classes. Definitely helping my mental health, as I continue to be quarantined in a small rental house.
Our hastily constructed office in the rental house is working out okay. Mine is on the left. Fortunately I can perform almost all of my work with an iPad. Simultaneous conference calls are a bit tricky and one of us has to wander down the hall to reduce noise.
My new coworker is demanding more walking meetings
Can’t seem to get rid of these phantom email messages in iPadOS
Counterpart is one of my favourite TV shows over the past few years. So, great that The Incomprable podcast did an episode on the two seasons 📺
Vacation has begun!
Early signs of spring
Chilly, but fun ⛷ 🥶
Moses Boyd’s Dark Matter has a great, diverse sound. Well worth a listen 🎶
Figured out how to turn on the fireplace at the rental and Lucy has a new favourite spot
