Really well done and fascinating video on The Sounds of Space
Currently reading: Excession by Iain M. Banks 📚
The iPadOS save dialog for MS Office has become confusing. I can never figure out which of these “Documents” folder is my documents folder, rather than a colleague’s
Back in the office after a 13 month gap and spotted my first PPE vending machine on the commute. A sign of how things will be after COVID-19 🦠 😷
Mortal on Amazon Prime is good. A nice take on the Thor myth that doesn’t adopt the Marvel spectacle style (though that style is good fun)
A nice run along Taylor Creek 🏃♂️. Except for the hill up to Lumsden Ave near the end; that part was horrible
I’ve been using the iOS betas for just over a week. The new Focus feature is as useful as I’d hoped. Being able to change notifications and home screens by context is great. Especially for switching off from work
Currently reading: The Little Drummer Girl: A Novel by John le Carre 📚
A quiet run along the beach this morning. Certain to be much busier this afternoon 🏃♂️
The Tomorrow War is totally ridiculous. And, I watched it anyway
Finished reading: Matter (Culture) by Iain M. Banks. This was a straightforwardly entertaining read 📚
A misty run this morning 🏃♂️
Humid out there 🥵. Good thing there was a breeze by the river 🏃♂️
Second vaccine doses administered! 💉 👍
Might as well try another one from Kensington Brewing
Trying out a new (to me) brewery: Kensington Brewing
This episode of the Mindscape podcast was a nice mix of my interests in math, politics, and voting theory
Finished reading: The Strategy Paradox: Why Committing to Success Leads to Failure (And What to do About It) by Michael E. Raynor 📚
Green Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson is a good second book in the Mars trilogy. So much great detail, you really get a strong sense of Mars as a place that is distinct from Earth 📚
I’ve listened to a few Spatial Audio songs on Apple Music and I’m impressed! If you listen to a familiar song, you can really notice the difference. Lots of space and previously unnoticed details in these new mixes 🎧🎶
