The missing link

This post was written when this blog was based on Jekyll before I moved back to WordPress. I have kept it as part of the history of this blog.

When I moved the blog to Jekyll last year I made several decisions about the posts I would bring across. One of those was to drop several of the post types that I’d added over the years leaving only a normal blog post as the type of content I could post. I hoped that by stripping out all the cruft I would be able to focus more on my own writing and build up more of a routine to posting. Inevitably that hasn’t panned out. There have been times where I’ve posted regularly, but just as I felt like I was getting into some kind of pattern things would happen and I wouldn’t post.

Of course one thing that has never changed was that I still read articles. In fact this year I’ve focused more on RSS as a means of reading and as a result I’m reading far more than I used too. I’ve also adopted Good Links as my read later app of choice and am developing a reading work flow to help me process what I’m reading. Part of that process involves sharing what I read. So for the same reason I added the ability to share links on my blog many years ago I’ve added that ability to this one. It’s in a state I call earliest usable product like much of this blog is, but I intend to keep improving things continuously over the next few weeks.

Life is about tradeoffs. When we know what to say no to, and we know why, we can say yes with comfort and confidence to the things that matter. To the things that last.

In conversation with one of my favourite authors Austin Kleon, Ryan Holiday finished a post with this quote. They were discussing the choices between work, family, and scene, but I the sentence above can be applied to a lot of things.

What about this for an Apple lineup? MacBook, MacBook Studio, and MacBook Pro with iPad, iPad Studio, and iPad Pro. When you consider it alongside iMac, Mac mini, Mac Studio, and Mac Pro it kind of makes sense…

Spent the evening watching the football and adding link posts to my blog. Still some refinement to do but should be able to go live with them by the end of the week.

It’s world book day today, how did I forget!? To celebrate, what’s the book that’s like a blanket on a cold day and you keep returning to over and over? 📚

Not quite sure why, but each day I’m chipping away at my Obsidian interface to get rid of some of the janky electron feel. It’s getting there, the focus of the last couple of days has been the right sidebar.
