Writing

My version of tilting at windmills is to gently boycott American tech firms, where I can. Who knows if people outside the US will always be able to access servers and services? All is fair in love and (trade) war.

Data Migration

The pocket notebook. A beautiful thing.

Uses for a Pocket Notebook
The commonplace notebook. A beautiful name if nothing else. Record anything and everything that prompts you. In many ways, the commonplace notebook is a combination of all of the above.

Shopping

Looking to avoid Amazon has massively reduced my ability to fritter. My bank balance is pleased. I also ditched Apple One, Google One and Netflix. More savings. I was very tempted to subscribe to the Atlantic though.

Surfing

Sometimes, we all need to forget the news of the day. Billy Connolly. Fifty minutes of unbroken joy.

Babbling

In case you don't know, I regularly babble at a long-suffering friend who has done little to deserve such maltreatment. However, being a resident of Canada, he takes the punishment, edits my terrible audio and publishes it every week under the title "Stationery Adjacent". New episodes drop on a Wednesday wherever you get your podcasts.

This week, we checked very carefully to make sure we hadn't invited anyone onto our super-secure Signal chat. We hadn't, thereby disqualifying ourselves from high office in the United States.

Don't let the b**tards grind you down. Have a great week.
