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
She Has Her Mother’s Laugh by Carl Zimmer is a thorough, detailed, and fascinating book about heredity. I appreciated that Zimmer expanded heredity well beyond genes to make the important point that we inherit many things from our parents 📚
I’ve found mind maps really helpful recently and, so, enjoyed the Sweet Setup’s Mastering Mind Maps course. The course includes some helpful workflow examples and detailed videos on MindNode, my favoured mind mapping app.
Happy Darwin Day! I hope your day evolves in a way that optimizes your fitness 🐠🐢🦍😎🤖
A school strike is a great excuse to play video games with friends
