Started Station Eleven last night, but this morning Alex Steffen on discontinuity and the planetary crisis. https://alexsteffen.substack.com/p/discontinuity-is-the-job https://alexsteffen.substack.com/p/were-not-yet-ready-for-whats-already Learning fun new words like “transapocalyptic”.

Congrats. Watching Mindless Consumerism thread.

I’m trying to approach 2022 less seriously, so starting the year with Wings. I mean Wing.

I don't know which of these 2022 will be, but here's hoping for the second.

Thanks everyone. Gifts (new Marin bike for Esmé) and holiday music at home and now jumping on the road to go to Mel’s parents. Birthday cake, apple pie, cheesecake, and who knows what else awaits (besides sugar crash). Hope anyone is having a wonderful Xmas.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Xmas with family, friends, wine, book, and/or movie.

It’s probably been my favorite holiday album for a few years. Sample below (originally by Dolly Parton). And COH is great.

Evening drifting into more contemportary-ish holiday music... And continuing our favorite bittersweet holiday song for another year...

RIP giant Joan Didion. "I’m not telling you to make the world better, because I don’t think that progress is necessarily part of the package. I’m just telling you to live in it. Not just to endure it, not just to suffer it, not just to pass through it, but to live in it. To look at it. To try to get the picture. To live recklessly. To take chances. To make your own work and take pride in it. To seize the moment." https://www.npr.org/2021/12/23/375431790/joan-didion-obituary

It's Burl Ives season

The solution I posted? That was iOS (unless I'm misunderstanding you), though there have been Android solutions for longer I believe?

Horrible as their sometimes use may be, after reading this pretty critical article I kinda want to try out "Second Brain" apps/services. Anyone try and have an opinion of Notion, Obsidian, Mem, or other? I'll likely dive in all three, but thought I'd use the collective first. I've gone years using some older software like DEVONthink, The Brain, and even Yojimbo, but generally they've been slow to move to the cloud, so I've dropped all along the way for more primitive organization.

Keep in mind you can also...

RIP architect Richard Rogers. If there's anyone currently in Paris, maybe a tip of the hat towards the Pompidou Centre. https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2021/dec/19/richard-rogers-pompidou-and-millennium-dome-architect-dies-aged-88
