Now

Reading

Didn’t get around to reading The Tainted Cup yet because The Will of the Many really grabbed my attention, which in turn got derailed by a Silo Omnibus re-read.

Listening

Last track I listened to

Awaiting the new Nothing But Thieves album.

Watching

Lanterns has been really good through the first three episodes. (I have my suspicions about the identity of the wealthy individual who has not yet been named.) Very happy that The Rebuild: Inside the Montreal Canadiens is back, same goes for Ted Lasso and Dark Matter. Just started The Gentlemen, which will soon be one of two Guy Richie shows I’m watching.

Also looking forward to: Slow Horses, Survivor, The Diplomat, and Black Doves.

Tech

Now on a work-provided 13” M3 Pro MacBook Pro, still loving my iPhone 16 Plus. More on my /uses page.

Homescreen

Work focus: Lockscreen
Work focus: First page
Home focus: Lockscreen
Home focus: First page
Both: Second page

To ensure I’m keeping good boundaries between work and home, I use Focus to give me two different versions of my phone: one during work hours, and one the rest of the time. My Work focus has a whitelist of people and apps that are allowed to ping me, while my Home focus disables work email and calendars.

The Work lockscreen is courtesy of BasicAppleGuy, while the first homescreen features a big widget that rotates through Reminders, Google Calendar, Weather, Photos, NextThere, and Stocks. The apps are App Store, Ashby Mobile, Camera, Chat GPT, Maps, Mosaic, Phone, Photos, RemindMeFaster, SaneBox, Settings, Siri, Slack, Swarm, Unread, and Up.

The Home lockscreen is the dark version of the iPhone Duo wallpaper (again courtesy of BasicAppleGuy) but with a Duotone filter. The widget at top left contains Weather, Calendar, Sports, Next There, and Reminders; the remaining apps are App Store, Camera, Chat GPT, Fortnights (a vibe coded budgeting app), Indigo, Maps, Mosaic, Phone, Photos, RemindMeFaster, Retro, SaneBox, Sequel, Settings, Siri, Slack, Swarm, Up, and Unread.

Both focuses share the final screen, which has widgets for FitBee, Fitness, WaterMinder, and Streaks. The apps are Mojo, FitBee, Fitness, Health, Pedometer++, Shotsy, Streaks, and WaterMinder.
