My fun reading rotation is Mick Herron’s Joe Country, Neal Stephenson’s Quicksilver (I brought this in this past week), and my mobile reading is Apple in China (I’m finding some odd conclusions that seemed a little more forced than they should be, but I am enjoying it).

Oh, Dopplr colors. The Dopplr blog is archived in the Internet archive. Dopplr discusses their use of colors for cities here: web.archive.org/web/20080…
There is a GitHub repo (not by Dopplr) that tries to echo their approach: github.com/banterabi… . Ian Kennedy blogged about Dopplr colors at the time: github.com/banterabi…
There is a really good post at optional.is: optional.is/required/…
Rodman’s Store in Friendship Heights, Washington, D.C.- it is like a global portal through an old school store
Finished reading London Rules by Mick Herron, so I can watch Slow Horses and not have it interrupt the book.
A few weeks ago I took this photo at the farmer’s market at one of the flower stands. I just added as my external monitor wallpaper when not in work mode and I find it quite calming.
This weekend is a large used book sale near me at a church, but also my favorite local independent book store member’s sale - www.politics-prose.com.
This week I realized my bookshelves are now full and needing to cull.
I’ve only had a partial eye on WWDC sessions this week, but finding an awful lot that really have my attention. This weekend and the next week or so may be when I get to them.
My son graduated high school today, so I didn’t get to watch WWDC keynote with friends live today, but I did watch it and State of the Union when I got home.
There is a whole lot of small things on the developer side I’m really interested in. More so than many past years.
It seemed to be the week to catch-up on movies as my son was away at beach week in prep for graduation.
I finally watched Dune (2021) and loved it. I picked it up a while back when it was starting to leave the theaters thinking I would watch it and then go see it on a large screen (the pandemic had other plans). There was so much in this that I want to dig back into.
I also finished watching Kimi, which is the sort of movie I tend to drift away from, but I found it really good.
The followed on the tail of watching The Batman the week prior, which I really enjoyed the film craft a lot.
