A full stream of microposts.

I’ve cut my hand twice over the last week not handling my safety razor carefully enough. That’s probably up 200% over the last 10 years average.

There’s a lesson here somewhere.

Just opened an Airtag 4 pack from Target and 2 were missing. Box looked intact, but in hindsight seemed extra hard to open. Probably someone did a fraud return. Not cool.

Don’t know how I expect to level up my work documentation and processes checklists — if I still can’t sit down on the toilet without first checking if there’s a paper roll.

There’s something about Apple Books on iOS that feels slow. The UX is either laggy or the effects are too long.

I’m hoping that my preference of writing on the 2018 11in iPad Pro over the 2021 iPad mini is because of the lack of Moshi iVisor screen cover. All the use cases where the smaller iPad was going to fix everything have not happened — and I struggle to pick it over the larger iPad almost every day.

The original Matrix blew my mind and rewired my brain. Which makes The Matrix Resurrection imposible to be great, but it wasn’t bad.

House now emptying out. I’m starting to realize that every year I enjoy the chaos of a full home more. Crossover happened probably 3 years back, and I have reached a point where I’m looking forward to it next year.

Minimal viable tasks as a way to reduce perceived costs of starting something and making it more likely to inch forward the project. Very similar to intermittent packet from Second Brain.

Stopping work when you’re tired and not when everything is done is a luxury in my world view. An earned luxury for sure, but not something I counted on for most of my adult life.

With AWS East down, might as well set Teams to auto-respond: working on it and contemplate a life of owning a seaside coffee house that also consults wifi networks.

Tonight I’m sleeping with a device that will measure my blood pressure every 20 minutes. I feel every one of my 40 years of age.

Gave up on buying Spanish ebooks for before stories on El Corte Ingles / Tagus books - the experience is so bad they don’t even deserve a shame link. Luckily found ArgentinaBooks, which seems to have a similar library.

Even better, LibrosPatagonia in Chile has ebooks from the Ekaré editorial, so I’ll probably try it soon. Also in my list is MakeMake from Colombia, touting some sort of subscription with high quality books.

I’m buying these the horrible Adobe DRM, but using Calibre to set them free.
