Is it just me or fruit flies literally show up of nowhere? Like how do they even form? I feel like there is some association to bananas ripening on counter top but really how do they just…appear one day?

It’s summer and I haven’t been to a beach once this year. I guess if I wait another 10 years the beach will come to me and then I won’t have to go too far for the beach. 🤷‍♂️

I have been asked to lead a new initiative on sustainability and accessibility within our team. One topic I don’t know much about and one I know lot about.

At what point will the countries decide that internet needs a forget button? We cannot possibly go another 50-60 years without thinking about how much data is being thrown at internet with no real way out. Like at some pt we have to run out of hard disk space to store data yeah?

Last week at summer swim this week. The kid qualified for divisionals which means she gets to take part in a week long extensive practice before the last meet of the season this weekend. While the whole summer swim turned out to be way more intense and time consuming than I expected it to be, this was also the most fun part of it all. Our minds are already made up to sign up for summer swim as long as she swims in spite of the hectic schedule. I am sure the kid is looking forward to next few weeks of no swimming however – 3 hour practice per day (speed across the day) is a lot for a 12 year old so the break will come in handy.

I’ve used quite a few note taking applications over the years – agenda, obsidian, quiver, notes, microsoft one note and other assorted ones. Unfortunately I have discovered I am too disorganized to make it work for me, so not a single one has actually stuck around. I tried organizing by projects, by initiatives and other means, but stuck with none of them. Eventually I have figured out a way that is working for me for the past few months: Apple Notes.

I use **one** Apple note. Thats it. Every single thing is in there. Every meeting minute, every project note, every note I want to make, every action item I want to assign to myself, dates – every fucking thing. Its like a infinitely long note with absolutely everything and the sun thrown at it. A random reader would make no sense of it, and perhaps even be disgusted by the chaos. And yet it works! *For me!*. Everything I need in one place – no fucking folders, organization, and trying to sort through a neatly sorted list. If I want to find something, the search function works, and works great! I find what I need and I am done. No managing of any extraneous stuff. One note to rule them all!

Not the way most normal people would do their notes I suppose, but hey if it works, it works!

The few days before vacation begins are always the most chaotic and busy. Its like the world is out to suck every last drop of blood before I go on vacay.

Would you pay 100$ for one t-shirt? I struggle with this quite a bit. One one hand I find the very idea of a 100$ t-shirt abhorrent and wonder *what could that t-shirt possibly contain?* and on the other hand the amount of time I spend researching about it, I find that certain materials and mix are suited for certain climates and often its about what material works for particular weather than actual t-shirt. So obviously, some materials cost more than another. I recently decided to pickup a t-shirt on “deal” at Macys and was very happy it was a sub 10$ t-shirt. I put it on once and I absolutely hated the fit, the quality and overall feeling of it in-spite of the t-shirt advertising the same as other t-shirts. Its just really hard to find a good well fitting t-shirt.

On one hand I have no problem picking up a box of chocolate truffles at Godiva for 20 bucks and gorging on them, and on other hand I will go lengths to find a tee thats less than 10 bucks. I have no problem spending 100$+ on a weekend eating out (which is a one time event) but I can’t get myself to buy a 100$ t-shirt knowing fully well the utility and longevity of the tee is far longer than a weekend dinner. Human brain works in mysterious ways!
