Sunday Review (06-30-2024)
It's probably just getting older but it feels like I need a vacation to recover from vacation these days. Much of this week felt like work and recovery time.
Highlights include:
- My kids were in summer camps this past week. The youngest was in an art camp and the oldest in an "apprenticeship" camp were every day they did something different (woodworking, blacksmithing, cooking, gardening, tailoring). They both had a lot of fun and really loved the experiences.
- I went to book trivia with my wife's book club and was able to contribute answers relating to horror and scifi books (and a classic as well). So that was fun! We came in fourth of nine teams.
This is getting posted a day early because tomorrow we head out to Indiana to visit family (so we will be driving all day).
This past week I wrote about...
- ...my experience migrating email services (which tends to be a tricky endeavor).
- ...how I setup my bearblog. It's technical and involved so know that going in.
Interesting Links From The Week
- This article on Denver experimenting with UBI is really fascinating. Here are some pull out quotes:
About 45% of participants in all three groups were living in a house or apartment that they rented or owned by the study’s 10-month check-in point, according to the research. The number of nights spent in shelters among participants in the first and second groups decreased by half. And participants in those two groups reported an increase in full-time work
The project also saved tax dollars, according to the report. Researchers tallied an estimated $589,214 in savings on public services, including ambulance rides, visits to hospital emergency departments, jail stays and shelter nights.
- This one on the 10 most instragrammable bookstores reminded me of my wife, a prolific bookstagrammer.
Apps I'm Trying
Nothing new this week...
The Music I'm Listening To
This week:
This month:
Note: My music is what gets played so weeks where I'm with the family a lot will feature Taylor Swift. Also, car play is borked in our car so anytime I plug my phone in it automatically plays a song from A Collision. It's typically stopped in 10 seconds but still gets scrobbled so it'll likely always get featured too.
