🎄 Tree is up and decorated
🏃♂️ Light rain, wind, and NIN playlist made for a gloomy ambience on today’s run
I don’t understand Apple’s algorithms. There’s no way I listened to 100 Gecs Boiler Room Session 51 times. Once was fun, but it is 1 hour and 26 minutes long. I would remember listening to it that many times
🏃♂️ A bit gloomy on today’s off the bike run
Trying out a new home screen with my personal focus.
- Screen Time at the top left to keep me honest and Day One on the top right to make journaling easy.
- I’m testing out relying on Siri suggestions as a large widget which is working out well, so far.
- Just Notes in the dock with everything else accessible via a Spotlight search.
- Last part is large Calendar, Reminders, and Music widgets with a swipe to the right in the Today View. These are consistently available across all focus modes.

“Now more than ever, soft and hard power are important,” Joly noted, correctly, ignoring the fact that Canada increasingly has neither, and doesn’t seem to be doing much about that.
Making a good case that we don’t take ourselves seriously anymore
Finished reading: I’ll admit that I was hesitant to read Mistborn: Secret History by Brandon Sanderson. The original Mistborn trilogy came to a satisfying end for me and I knew that reading this book would open up to the whole Cosmere universe. I’ve simply decided that I don’t need to be a completionist. And, I’m glad, because this was a fun story that paired well with the trilogy 📚
In a pleasant surprise, my cellular carrier just boosted by monthly 4GB to 20GB at no cost. I’m not accustomed to this kind of good customer service from a carrier
Finished reading: All Souls Lost by Dan Moren is fun. Has the same lightly humorous tone as the Bayern Agenda series with a supernatural, rather than sci-fi, plot 📚
Hmm, I beg to differ Apple Music
