These books from @luismendo.com are so great! Perfect size to carry around in a bag or even hoodie pocket. And so easy to pick up an read a story or two instead of scrolling my phone.

That scared me. But I just checked, can still go back to at least 1 previous full release version by clicking on the three dots in the app in CC, then choosing "Other Versions" in all apps. A few years ago they limited it to a shorter window.

Post a movie you like with a terrible Rotten Tomatoes score. Seems fitting since yesterday was the 30th anniversary.

I have a 3x5 card in my pocket notebook as a reminder of just that! Haven’t added to it in a while though.

List titled “Simple Joys” on an index card with items:
- hugs from kids
- warm mug of team in hands
- watching sunrise
- sound of dice
- feel of a stretch
- cats
- calm, quiet house
- walks by water
- dark chocolate
- smell of books
- solving “puzzles”
- riding bikes
- warmth of sun on skin
- literal breath of fresh air

Got IKEA or pretty much any flat pack furniture? Get a bike tool like this. It has almost all the different hex sizes used along with Philips, flathead, and a few sockets & wrenches. No need to have a drawer full of random IKEA pack-in tools for random fixes.

Finally realized with the 13" iPad Pro size feels just right… it’s an open A5 notebook. No idea why it took me like 9 years to realize this!

Enjoy this Timelapse of me fumbling through painting. I swear every time I sit down to try and digitally draw/paint, the first 10 minutes is me scribbling and undoing to figure out which brushes and colors to use…

As much of a nerd as I am… the last few years I’ve been embracing paper way more than digital for a lot of things. Part of my #EDC is a small dot-grid notebook in a pen in my pocket at all times. It’s my to-do list, notes on the day, weekly planner, everything.
