Faraway, So Micro

Time to reset the clock on days since I’ve been jump-scared by someone coming into my office while I’m editing a podcast: 0.

I try to leave the house as little as possible, but when I do I make sure to hit up a local coffee shop. (Citizen Cafe this time.)

Anyone had a real world comparison of the Sonos Beam vs Sonos Arc soundbars? If I can get away with just the Arc soundbar that might be worth it if the Beam “needs” a couple of rear speakers?

You can tell how much self reflection someone has done by their attitude towards Bluey.

New (98% AI) blog post: How to Shift Votes Away from the Hold the Sask Party Has on Some Parts of Saskatchewan

Thanks to Justin Jackson for this sweet AI generated soundtrack to my business. I feel like I need to make a commercial now.

I’m rewatching “Mad Max: Fury Road” in preparation for seeing “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” on Thursday.

I can’t believe it came out in 2015. 9 years ago already.

Web apps: “We’ve got AI in all the things to help you be more creative and work more efficiently!”

Me: “Can you automatically rename files you create with some sort of date stamp so I can tell them apart?”

Web apps: “…. … … We’ve got AI in all the things!”

Today’s Quartiles (Apple News+ game) is stupid and I hate it and it’s definitely not me that’s the problem.

It’s a Vietnamese Iced coffee kind of day.

If this rumor is true about no new Mac Studio upgrades until 2025, then it will be one of the few times I bought Apple hardware at the perfect time instead of buying something and then having it obsoleted within 16 months.

I love the wide open prairie skies of Saskatchewan. I love the ability to think and process life stuff while driving across the prairies. 😀

Turns out it kinda does fix me to swap my office around. (Still evaluating the window behind me + glare on the monitor potential issue.)

1. Before
2. After same direction
3. After looking other way.

Current “I want a gaming PC” temptations are Helldivers 2 and Manor Lords. Just need to wait it out. Breath. This too shall pass. 😝

Ooooh! Marie Poulin dropped a new meal planning Notion template.

(Yes it’s ok to be as excited about this as a new album drop by your fav artist. There’s nothing weird about it.)

I added Gandalf to this clip from last night’s Oilers / Canucks game and it’s going around hockey tiktok in a non-toxic way. It’s nice to just have a laugh at silly things grown men on skates do sometimes.

Even 1993 Pearl Jam knew to pick the bear instead of a man.

Aw I’m sad Arc went corporate. The animated heart was a nice little surprise. This bland update notification feels like work.
