  📺 watched: The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window

  This was hilarious, though I would say it was only about 5% more ridiculous than other Netflix originals.

  📝🖋 Recommendations for a firm top-bound notebook that is B5 or A5 or smaller?

  “Firm” meaning I can write on it w/o a hard surface like a desk.

  Preferably something where I can write on both sides of the paper (unless this means a spiral-bound format that does not hold up).

  📚 Four Thousand Weeks: it’s as good as they say.

  Nothing original, but a great collection of wisdom distilled from various traditions (faith, agile/lean, strategy, psychology, etc.).

  🎥 Shang Chi was really good. Maybe the best marvel movie? Or maybe it’s just a huge relief after Eternals?

  It’s a shame they didn’t make any sequels to The Matrix. It was such a good movie.

  Also a shame I keep having to make this joke.

  Also, I find the lack of Juno Reactor just insulting.

  I’ve written about it here, enabled comments, and am looking collaborators and conversation partners.

  Beautiful Trouble updated their toolkit.

  With the new toolkit you can slice and dice depending on what you are considering, and also create pdfs from your favorites.

  This is a nice online companion to the deck of cards.
