- Hulry email newsletter. I discovered this email newsletter last year and it rarely fails to share something I find interesting. It is also relatively short and doesn’t feel like a chore to read. Good stuff.
- Timestripe software This was an experiment that has stuck. Like many, I’m always trying to utilize the task manager that best fits my quirks and needs. While I still use Notion for every day tasks (like taking vitamins and meditating), this is great for one off tasks or work tasks. I keep it a link pinned in my browser and am in and out of the app daily. The mobile app is great, too.
- 12.30.24 Austin Goose show (via Bandcamp) This was my third Goose show and still my favorite of the four I’ve now seen. I attended with my wife and we both loved it. Top shelf jams (I know, that’s very subjective) in Draconian Meter Maid, Arrow, Arcadia, and Red Bird. My wife’s favorite tune of the night was Nina Simone’s Sinnerman. The encore was a beautiful, mellow, cherry on top.
- Greenlight app We have started using this app to deliver our daughter’s allowance onto a debit card that she can use and that we have ultimate control of. It also allows us to set up and track chore completion. Very smooth so far. Bonus points for letting kids pick their own images to go on their cards. Highly recommend for the purpose it serves.
- Scott Lake camping in Central Oregon: I go backpacking every summer with old friends. This year, due to some injuries, we car camped. We wound up at a beautiful campground in Central Oregon at Scott Lake, which is north of the Three Sisters and west of the town of Sisters. The walk ins to the camp spots were long, but worth it. Our camp was very large, and right near the lake. I imagine at the wrong time of year, the mosquitoes would be bad, though we lucked out. Definitely great for larger groups. Here are a few pics.
