Finished reading: Mr Wilman’s Motoring Adventure by Andy Wilman 📚
Another book I got for Christmas and a fun read with a peek behind the scenes of one of my favourite TV programmes. I watched Top Gear from the first episode when I was in my early twenties until the final Grand Tour episode.
Susan Sontag’s Playground of Ideas:
Throw-out note-taking categories: Sontag’s notebooks resist categorization. They include quotations, like a commonplace book; they include confessions, like a diary; they include travel schedules; they include clippings like a scrapbook. Often, with notes, we can get caught up in labels (is this a diary or a journal?) but the truth is that once a notebook gets into an individual’s hands, those categories cease to hold as much sway.
This is where I find myself landing in my own notebooks. They are a mix of stuff, meeting notes, journal entries, book quotes, doodles, ideas for work, problems I’m working through. I used to have a journal and then a notebook, but over the last couple of years they’ve become one and the same. I think that makes the most sense and makes the notebook my most effective tool.
Fastmail and Kagi have a new deal so I’ve signed up for three months of Kagi to give it a real test and see how I like it.
Thanks to the Super Bowl I came across the Blue Square Alliance standing up to Jewish hate. I hope they begin work in the UK as well. 🟦
Got this for Christmas and slowly getting myself ready to read it, I’ve a feeling it will be a hard one to read.
Hostage by Eli Sharabi 📚
I found out there’s a whole world of jailbreaking Kindle’s and this is very intriguing.
Came across this rather wonderfully designed website called Making Software a couple of days ago. Haven’t been able to bring myself to close the tab. Exceptional.
Finished reading: Raven Black by Ann Cleeves 📚
Really enjoyed this, I’ve no doubt I shall be reading the rest of the series this year.
fifth session at the gym this morning. Wasn’t feeling great this morning, sore throat, tired, but decided not to text my PT cry off. Went anyway and feel better after it. It felt hard today, but glad I went.
Well that’s a fast way to make me not want to use your service. The only thing I can think it’s detecting is iCloud Private Relay, but yeh, not signing up.
