Got our Indy Eleven #IXI seats selected back at #TheMike.
We’re one of the first season ticket holders and looking forward to getting back out there when it’s safe. We lost a few rows in the transition, but hope to move back closer as we get the chance. ⚽️
I spoke with a Rose-Hulman project team last night about their pentesting project for their cybersecurity course.
📚 Finished reading: The End of Alzheimer’s by Dr. Dale Bredesen ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Recommended. Even though I am not at higher genetic risk, I’ve ordered this book as a reference, due to the depth of cognitive health information included.
Notes are available in my digital garden.

Been thinking about this as it relates to distributed teams.
One of the aims in my organization has been to give each of them great freedom in their different areas, but to facilitate learning. We use shared wikis and “what worked/didn’t for me” presentations to the group.
They’re finally here!
A new Anabaptist hymnal.
My in-laws said that happy golden retrievers remind them of me.
So my day is going great. How’s yours?
What are you putting in DayOne?
Just performed my Sunday sweep of good reads from “this week” to “last week”. see here
Thinking about if there is a better way to display/handle this. Ideally, I could pre-pend instead of append to the doc, using iOS sharesheet, but that’s not supported.

Something I’m continuing to work on.
Bandanas are great. They’re useful for many purposes. I put a fresh one in each back pocket daily.
Do you have leads to any interesting ones?

Good riddance

evidence that Machine Learning can actually do something good and useful every once in a while 🎶
📚 Finished Reading: The Testaments by Margaret Atwood ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Recommended. Atwood has great skill at showing varied human dimensions of power.
Adding to my reading notes, too
Honestly kinda disappointed the goodbye lies weren’t delivered from the Four Seasons Total Landscaping.
Last one for today. 📚 cleaned up (a little) my notes for The Shallows by Nicholas Carr. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommended.
Also, ended up doing so much more linking around today that I went full steam ahead and put a “Digital Garden” link on my blog homepage.
📚 After reading The Shallows I’ve been wondering if there is some optimal blend between strengthening deep thinking pathways and Internet thinking pathways.
Along the lines of “explore vs. exploit”, what’s sweet spot between attentive consideration and inattentive collection?
📚Book notes from Signs of Life by Stephanie Lobdell ⭐️⭐️⭐️
(note: trying out a new book review configuration in my experimental digital garden. Feedback encouraged!)
A beautiful tribute to Ursula K. Le Guin
Civilisation isn’t about conquering planets or travelling faster than the speed of light. It’s about keeping going even when you think you’re lost, recognising that living means keeping children alive, growing fruit trees, watching things change and tending the goats.
Before you post out pithy quotes today, try to understand more fully what King fought for, instead of using his own words to soften his points.
Then, together with the Beloved Community, wage nonviolence against the triple evils of poverty, racism, and militarism.
