Business idea: sleep pubs where you can have a quiet drink and a nap.

As I bought a baguette, and put it in the front basket of my bike, I thought « oh non! Suis-je caricatural? Où est mon béret? »

It got up to 23° today. So it definitely feels like the cold brew coffee season has begun.

I’ve got that Friday feeling. But it’s Thursday 😖

Just bought one of these. Another step towards my goal of 0% plastic in the bathroom.

Looks like I gave my poor Rapberry Pi Zero too much to do. It’s been grinding for a week. I literally pulled out the SD card and put it into a Raspberry Pi 3, and now everything is working about 10 times faster.

Show runners: just fill the coffee cups with water. We can all tell they’re empty. Or if you’re worried about spilling, fill them with jelly/jello.

If anyone is wondering how my brew of Citra Sunburn went, here’s a picture of the first pour from the keg. It’s a rare success, with a tropical and lemon-drop profile from the hops. One of the rare occasions where I wish I’d brewed more than 9 litres.

Internet friends: we’ve a few trips over summer. I want to sanitise my gadget charging. How would you pack cables and chargers for these devices into that case? Phones charge overnight, everything else can wait its turn. Lightning, Watch, USB-C and Micro.

The final episode of Foundation was pretty good. Looking forward to season 2. I’m glad they have characters who are being carried through since the books are garbage with characters and are just world building for the sake of it.

I feel like my social media has turned into a numbers-on-odometers account. But my weird brain loves it some schema. So here’s the odometer from my eBike from today. ~100 litres of petrol saved (so far). The spanner means it’s now due for a service (because it hit 1,000 km).

I got this bike in late March, and its been winter, so I’m pretty happy having been able to smash out a megametre in aroubd 7 months. That’s 621 miles for the metrically challenged.

Plastic Recycling is an Actual Scam . I really need to firmly refuse to buy shit wrapped in plastic. So… see you freaks in hippy ville.

Why am I so exhausted?

I like to think the Moon and Venus last night were the sky winking at me.

The ultimate odometer reading.

My French is still pretty pauvre.

HUGE upgrade (series zero → series 7)

It’s brewing day. And today I’m brewing my renowned Citra Sunburn IPA - but I’m adding a healthy dose fo Sitiva hops too (which a friend gave me, thanks D!). Probably as a replacement for the Galaxy hops I normally throw in.

Here’s a secret: iMessage is one of the world’s largest social networks. Messaging, groups, VIPs, able to send photos, videos, audio, Memoji, text. It’s such a great feature. All my family social networking is there. Such a killer app.

Top tip: check your traps daily to avoid things getting truly horrific.

It’s unknowable, but I’d love to be able to know how close I ever came to catching COVID. Was I ever in close proximity to someone who had it, but we were both wearing masks? Was I never within 20 km of a person who could spread it? Would be fascinating.

There’s a quote from Samurai Jack season 5 which has stuck with me. Something Jack’s father says to him, which is one of this perfect quotes.

“The decisions you make and the actions that follow are a reflection of who you are. You cannot hide from yourself.”

For eBiking, the Pōneke waterfront is 👨🏻‍🍳💋🤏🏼

Rode passed some primary school kids the other day on my mid-tail cargo bike and they yelled “pop a wheelie!” And you know, I would if I could, but with the wheel so far back and the bike weighing 25 kg, I’d have to be the Hulk to pull that off.
