I was feeling really down last night. It had been a tough day and in my mind it felt as if everything was a pixel or five off here or there. I resisted the temptation to stay up later playing video games and it was the right call. When I woke up, everything seemed to be back in place. Sometimes all you need is a bit of sleep.

Reading Ruth after so many church abuse scandals is so refreshing. Be like Boaz.

Listening to Marco’s latest flip-flop (phone camera is enough and better than mirrorless 99% -> dedicated cameras can be better) on ATP initially made me feel very cynical (especially as John made such a good counter case in the past) but then I realised that we’re all irrational like this. We genuinely believe our opinions are informed and rational but sometimes we just haven’t tried the right tool.

Other notes -> I suspect marco hasn’t played with the JPEG settings on the Ricoh GR as you can dial in some great looks; they’re not fuji like mind.

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!
