Interesting Links This Week
Well, for the last couple of weeks if I'm honest because I'm bloody useless at finishing writing the posts and getting them out there. My Drafts section has well over 50 "in progress" items.
This is but a snippet of things that have caught my attention. I hope they interest some of you, too.
Laurie Hérault
This was a really enjoyable read, and I loved the idea of using an old thermal receipt printer for something like this. Totally unnecessary. However, it did start me thinking of things that I could use one for.
There doesn't appear to be an RSS feed for the site, which is a real shame.

This just about sums up my opinion of this technology. It is woefully inadequate at best. And something I've been telling people all along since it started appearing in these kinds of services. You may as well pluck a random number out of the air, you'll likely be closer.
This one hit hard, and is very much worth a read for Apple admins. Jobs are drying up, and those that are available have such awful pay attached to them.
As someone who has been looking for a new role for some time now, it's a struggle to find things.
I want to write a longer piece on this.
I think this will be a controversial one for many people, and I'd like to take some time to write a longer response to this. As it also ties in to my views on Freemasonry and men needing their own safe space. And how it is forced to continually change, resulting in that loss of safe space again.

The opening line should intrigue you enough to read this one.
An abandoned gold mine in Canada is known as a "sleeping monster" by Indigenous locals – because it contains enough arsenic to kill 1.7 trillion people.
This is fantastic, and I spent far longer scrolling than I should have.
A very useful looking live tracking Suunto+ App. Will be trying this out on some of my longer weekend runs.
An utterly amazing cover of The Night We Met by Lord Huron. Just … beautiful.
A blast from the past. The Full Throttle soundtrack. Such great memories of playing this when I was younger.
David Friedman
A fun and surprisingly interesting read about the JAWS shark artwork being in the public domain.
I can relate to this one, often leave my phone at home when I go for a walk. I even turn it off after 18:00 every single day, and it doesn't come back on until 06:00 the next day.
I'd like to do a longer post on this. Including on how I went without a phone for over a year.
Hemant Kumar
A great article on how old technology isn't useless. Hell, I'm still rocking an iPhone 8 as my daily. Although, I think it's getting close to the end.
Workout Cool
An odd and fun little project from someone who truly seems to care about fitness, and everyone deserving to have access to that knowledge (I agree).
I don't think it's for me, but I love the number of exercises in the database. It can be used for ideas if nothing else.
