Happy Ted Lasso day for all who celebrate.

I wrote a 75 word long sentence for an academic essay (complete with semi colons) and I love it. Academic writing gets a bad press (especially by copywriters) but chopping it up into smaller parts wouldn’t have the same effect.

The Canonical approach seems naturally more critical than conservative and willing to engage in ideas such as transformation of original source documents. At the same time, conservative theologians still point to types though out the canon, would they just call this progressive revelation? pinging: @KyleEssary

My home note in obsidian wasn’t really working. I had far too many links as I’d kept adding to it. So last night I created a folder called “Archive” copied my old home note across and started a fresh. I think this will be far more useful.

I’m in the process of #RestoreTheSketchyIdeasNewsletter like restoring the synderverse, but less popular and with 10X less slow-mo. Update: you can read the whole archive now.

Apparently unpopular opinion: I still love my iPad and my MacBook air. Both work great for their purposes, I can use them together with sidecar and universal control. They are individually and collectively better than when I first got them.

Ted Lasso season 3 time!

I’m working on an update for my sketchnote layouts guide and I’m really excited about it! I’m adding some advice on how to pick a layout and combining different layouts (plus some new layouts and examples of each one). Is there anything you’d like to see?

🎥 How Minimalism Got Toxic: The Dark Side - Internet Impact - YouTube

A great video about the issues around minimalism. It’s funny how I remember people discussing many of these issues back in the early 2010s. I actually think it would be fun to see a “world’s worst minimalist” and highlight the values of seeking enough rather than less. Messy house, not chasing the usual goals, having fun. (Although, if I were really doing the second, I probably wouldn’t share it on social media.)

We really have to appreciate the irony’s in life like the people who say we must live our lives for ourselves…but end up being lead by the comments and algorithims.

A critique - they critique the minimalists for how much they make each month from their patreons but that ignores the costs of their operation. This may still be a fair critique but they need to actually crunch the numbers for that.

Sometimes I just love the irony that “think outside the box” has become a cliche.
