Apple bringing transcripts for podcasts is very cool. In fact the only thing stopping me from using the built in Podcasts app is the lack of a smart speed feature. I’m so used to having it that when I listen to a podcast without it it sounds really slow.

This week I’ve made a switch to Todoist, setup the calendar integration with Google and really leaned on their task durations. It’s worked really well for time blocking tasks in-between work meetings.

It doesn’t happen often, but occasionally I read something in the first lines of a post and can’t read the rest of the post because I keep going back to it.

I always enjoy a birthday list. This one from Jeff Sheldon has a few nice points and a few that made me chuckle.

Picked up a USB C dock that can handle all the connections I need. I love that I only have one cable to plug into my MacBook Pro now.

I want timers on my HomePod to be live activities on my iPhone. That would be a great enhancement.

My refusal to use Threads or X is making it much harder to keep up with sports (specifically F1) news. Anyone know of any good blogs I could add to my RSS?

It dawned on me this morning that we are in an election year. I’ve never been more disillusioned with UK politics than I am now. There seems to be no party that actually represents me, they all appear to be different shapes of the same blob with no real difference between them.

Had a lovely long weekend down in Cornwall staying in St Ives. Lots of fresh air, mostly good food, good company, and some winter sunshine.

Watching the sunset behind St Michael’s Mount whilst enjoying a Cornish Cream Tea was beautiful.

A long time ago I owned the domain electricweekend.com, just had a look to see if it’s available. Seems it’s now classed as a premium domain and is available for $4,480! Maybe I won’t pick it up to use as a blog.
