Subscribed for a year of Simplify Gmail by Michael Leggett — absolutely worth it just for allowing me to use ESC to drill out of messages. The clean and consisted UX for Gmail is just icing on the cake.
microblog
A full stream of microposts.
On a similar note, Ted Lasso’s S02 Christmas episode could be prescription medicine whenever you’re feeling shitty. I can just imagine Jason Sudeikis and Bill Lawrence deciding they were going to create a feel-good episode, never mind the critics.
Really liked CODA. Recommended.
You can temporarily highlight the current row (without changing the selection) by pressing

Highlight active row/column in Excel without using VBA? Stackoverflow.com
Extremely useful tip if you’re working with large spreadsheets.
Views of Coronado, Costa Rica.
Replaced SelfControl with Freedom to help me with better deep work sessions. It’s working great. Absolute surprise is nudge towards reading by blocking social and news sites on iPad in the evening.
The worst part of my job involves dealing with Excel as the last mile of data manipulation — instead of the many (comparatively) elegant sources for the data.
Great rainforest weekend.
You could argue “it’s not the right time” given the pandemic and extreme weather of almost any activity: making a movie that inspires, going to the olympics to break a world record or fighting a dictatorship.
I applaud any team that manages to propel humans to space the same way others celebrate a team hitting a ball into a net. Both are equally driven by passion and capitalist gains.
Almost ordered a new iMac after playing with it on a store. The screen is beautiful and the design has grown on me. Glad this US trip is almost over, will make it easier to wait for whatever iMac Pro(ish) is coming.
Family pit stop at Mistral Coffee. It was great.
Pledged for The Slow System by Craighton Berman. Love the design, but specially like the no press french press top.
James Hoffmann’s book World Atlas Of Coffee is now on Audible. Insta-buy.
Saving two great shots here of last week’s launch for posterity.

The KEY Coffee Grinder is beautiful. But before you start to wonder if the “home” model of Weber Workshops grinders is for you… the pre-order price is $1,499 USD.
Foo Fighters invites Dave Chappelle to sing Radiohead’s Creep on the reopening of Madison Square Garden yesterday. Hell yes 2021.
Absolutely loved Pixar’s Luca movie.
Amazing day. We visited KSC for the Falcon 9 GPS III Space Vehicle 05 launch. Long drive, but totally worth it.
The Dataview plugin snippet showcase in the Obsidian Forums is a great place to get ideas and level up your queries.
The new(est) Firefox looks very nice. Not sure if it’s the baseline M1 speed, but it also feels snappy.
Oh boy, the KEY Grinder is beautiful, and crazy expensive.
It was a great day.
Arcadia was my hard landing back into comics this weekend. And I’m so happy with the mind bruises it caused.
Excellent philosophical video on What is Obsidian.
Dialed in my dark coffee grind this weekend. Went coarser and saw an improvement: more body and oily — in a good way.
Funny story: I knew nothing about the book until Robie — our mini space fanatic — picked it in a bookstore based on the cover.
Really enjoying Liftoff by Eric Berger about SpaceX early days. Amazing how it doesn’t tell a story about how they made it, but rather: in how many ways they almost didn’t.
Do you wish to die wise or intelligent?
I’m “just looking”, VR edition.
