Worked from home and this hipster borrowed my glasses. Of course he rocks them much more than me.

🍿 How to Talk to Girls at Parties is clearly from the Neil Gaiman universe, but at times it doesn’t click. The love letter to punk rock in the 80s did work for me though.
Moving my microblog to r.mateu.me, which is hosted on blot.im. I’ve been a micro.blog supporter since the kickstart campaign, and think the product is on a great path. However, as a blog service, the monthly price is a bit beyond what I want to pay — because I already have a blog service I’m comfortable with.
So I’ll keep a close eye on the developments, and will still hang around the micro.blog apps. But for the rest of the year I’m taking things a different direction.
From nytimes.com:
In theory, those differences should allow blood to move from and back to the runners’ hearts more rapidly than would happen inside the swimmers’.
Main takeaway is that you should always mix it up.
Another not quite Aeropress coffee thingy, the Twist Press.
Leaning to not upgrading my AirPods yet. I use them a lot, but for short times, so the terrible battery life is not something I suffer that much — not counting calls, where I’ve just stopped using them.
Aeropress short with a touch of milk foam.
Happily surprised by LEGO Movie 2. Entertaining but also good easily-digested moral learning in the end.
Netflix’s Love, Death & Robots reminded me so much of The Animatrix in the best posible way.
Recommending a podcast between different player apps is an unnecessary frustrating experience nowadays.
Friday morning swim. 1300mts today, halfway there.
American Airlines suspends service to Venezuela. This worries me terribly. There’s still Copa, but the isolation goes from philosophical to real.
Broke 1000mts in swim. That’s the minimal viable training distance for me to consider time in a pool training.
Again worried for family and friends after another major blackout in Venezuela since yesterday.
Highlight of the day, two smiling faces when being picked up from the kinder.
A fun video on the basics of coffee.
Will test this aeropress recipe soon.
Ikea’s Sonos-powered Symfonisk speakers look really nice. If they manage to keep the price under $90, it could be a nice addition to my old Sonos Play 1.
The selection of the iPad mini case is currently a microcosm my center vs right capitalist principles — DODOcase (handmade in US, $59.95) vs ESR Urban Premium Folio (made in China, $14.99).
Enjoyed this new Apple iPad mini video review.
I wrote about the The New iPad Lineup last night. Long story short: I’m selling my 10.5 iPro and getting a new iPad mini with cellular.
The Into the Spider-Verse Animator Commentary is something I plan to have a romantic date to in 2019. I hope.
I’m going to take CheapAir’s recommendation of buying plane tickets 76 days before the flight to heart.
Gave up stringing together a bunch of hacks with IFTTT and Zapier and went back to Drafts Pro. Sometimes the power lies at the edge of the network.
Microsoft’s Chromium-powered Edge browser has enough competition that it has to be more than interesting.
What to expect from Apple on March 25: a paid news service, a video service with original content, a content hub in the TV app, a credit card, and no hardware. All intriguing.
Seriously considering getting the Logitech Crayon.
Edit: Or not. It doesn’t work with the 10.5 Pro.
Vampire Weekends cover of Spiderman’s Sunflower is so good.
Managed to swim twice this week. Deliciously tired. Hope to keep it up the rest of the year.
Fun video into the world of high-end coffee.
