Hello!
Though I got sick during it, Philly Tech Week was a good time; I enjoyed meeting some new folks and talking about some exciting projects.
I started playing with Raycast this month, and I am totally hooked. It has already been completely embedded into my workflows, and I am now actively seeking out ways to modify the way I get things done so that I can use this tool even more. There’s the obvious culprits that Raycast’s marketing will pitch to you without me needing to — like, for example, how managing my schedule and getting into virtual meetings is super streamlined now — but I’m also using it for some more silly things, like a script with a global hotkey which tells me how many songs I’ve listened to in a day, to make sure I’m tracking toward my goal of 50 per day.
writing
I’ve put the leadership blog on hiatus, but I published two posts this month:
films
This month, I watched 1 film:
- The Martian — (rewatch) ★★★★★
I haven’t been watching a lot of films lately, but you can still follow me on Letterboxd.
books
This month, I finished 2 books:
- The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder by David Grann — absolutely brutal, but a fascinating history and a great read.
- Start Your Own Nonprofit Organization: Your Step-By-Step Guide to Success by Cheryl Kimball — some good information embedded in this one.
I’m currently reading Malka Older’s Null States, which is really great so far.
