I requested an archive of my data from Twitter. Right now I am downloading all 691 MB of it. I am very curious to go through it and may even transfer some old tweets to my blog.

Call me crazy, but today I bought my first NFT:

It’s probably wasted (crypto)money, but I just wanted to explore this phenomenon… Furthermore, who doesn’t want to own and old screenshot of the 1997 WinZip.com home page?

How come this channel does not have more subscribers?

Almost 20 years ago, Pixar released the first fully computer animated movie and now, one guy can DIY something with greater realism in only 3.5 weeks using off the shelf gear. Amazing!

It has been months since I last heard about Clubhouse. Has the hype passed? Does it still exist?

This quote perfectly descibes my current professional situation:

You teach best what you most need to learn.

I often wish other people kept a list of all the tools they’re currently using for daily work, so here’s mine.

To bring some more variation in our evening leisure activities, I bought the Wingspan board game.

We haven’t played it yet, but the box, design and materials look exquisite.

After a few years without using it, today I opened the Keybase app again.

Digging around in the settings I found that there is a wallet inside the app, with over 1.000 Stellar Lumen (a crypto currency) in it. I vaguely remember having received those for free in the Keybase Spacedrop.

The biggest surprise is the current value of those lumen is arround 330€. Now, let’s see how I can spend that free money…

Many things may be important but only one thing can be the most important.

I’m getting annoyed by all the silos for tv and movie content. I’d rather have something similar as the music business, where most of the content is available on all services.

Meetings are the worst form of productivity. The “doing” gets done outside of meetings. Doing happens when you have time to think.

Doers schedule thinking.

As Jason Fried once said, meetings should be like salt on a meal.

Focus and scattterfocus is all that matters.

Time and attention aren’t the same thing. They're barely related.

This is hilarious. Salvador Dali participating in a tv game show.

Yes!

This is factastic! Somebody made an app to scan the QR code from the EU Covid passport and save it in Apple Wallet or PassAndroid.

Is there a perfect productivity system?

No

When making yearly or quarterly plans, I always fail to account for my diminished productivity in august due to the really hot afternoons.

The mornings are alright, but after 15:00 I usually feel too lazy to get out of the sofa to do anything useful.

But that is ok. I just have to accept the facts, make the most of my mornings and use my afternoons to relax at the pool without feeling guilty.

That last part is obviously the most difficult …

Since the beginning of the year I have listened almost every week to Andrew Huberman’s podcast (even though his episodes come in with at least a whopping 90 minutes) and learned a ton.

Last week’s episode is fantastic, since he basically summarizes all scientifically proven protocols from all episodes about optimizing your body and mind.

I have sooo many little habits to adjust!

Wondering: Does the fact that I did not publish during my vacation mean that I consider blogging as work???
