Previous Things I've Found Interesting
June 06 to 12, 2022
- Book: What is Life? by Paul Nurse
- Show: Love on the Spectrum on Netflix (U.S. version)
- Music: Decapitated's Cancer Culture (2022) (technical extreme metal)
- Audio Book: Doing Psychotherapy: A Trauma and Attachment-Informed Approach by Robin Shapiro
- Software: Thunderbird (email client) and its built-in PGP support for sending and receiving encrypted emails
- I feel Thunderbird really lowered the threshold for using this. Now even not tech-savvy relatives can use it (after initial setup). Thank you!
- Show: The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window on Netflix
- I did not realize this was meant to be a parody. Took it seriously and kept getting more and more confused, especially at the end. Then read up on it and found out it was meant to spoof the genre. Wish I had known this going in. Things would have made so much more sense.
- Show: Mr. Bean on Netflix
- Show: Baby Fever (Skruk) on Netflix
- Game: Buddha Doodles: The Game
- Lovely little game with beautifully designed and printed Buddha Doodles cards. Very worthwhile.
- Animation: The Smurfs on Netflix
- Show: Get Organized with the Home Edit (2) on Netflix
- Programming: elisp
- Music: Meshuggah's obZen
May 30 to June 05, 2022
- Book: What is Life? by Paul Nurse
- I have just begun reading this book, and have just finished the first chapter, on cells. What they are, how they make up both the lowest form and the buildings blocks of life, and how they are, in a way, like us, while at the same time creating us. Now on to the next chapter, genes.
- A few articles about the quest to find physical explanations for spacetime and, by extension, everything
- Show: Love on the Spectrum on Netflix (the Australian version!)
- Music: Decapitated's Cancer Culture (2022) (technical extreme metal)

- They got me with their first-year-free offer. Currently on day 17.
- The Morning Show on AppleTV+ (TV show).
Aug 30 to Sep 05, 2021
- Logseq (software) <— really getting into this local-first, text-file based outliner
- Clojure (programming language)
- Seventh Angel: Lament for the Weary (music) (old-school, doomy, slightly progressive, massively underrated thrash metal album)
- Seventh Angel: The Torment (music) (lovely old-school, slightly progressive thrash metal ablum; this is my favorite of the two) (check it out on YouTube)
- Trialing Bearable (software) for mood tracking.
- Not too happy about this being a mobile app only, but if it makes tracking and processing easier, so be it.
- The Morning Show on AppleTV+ (TV show).

- Logseq, a "privacy-first, [local-first,] open-source knowledge base" (software)
- "Logseq is a local-only, non-linear, outliner notebook for organizing and sharing your personal knowledge base." (https://logseq.com/blog/about)
- It's as if Workflowy, emac's org-mode (really powerful!), Roam, and Obsidian had a child.
