The Wordle creator posting as Powerlanguage discusses the game and particularly the ‘one a day model’.
I love it as it is. I like being able to discuss it with friends which I can only do because of the way it is released.

As ever, I never write because there’s always so many things I’m thinking about and I never make the step to recording them. Mostly I start writing and never manage to hold my thoughts together well enough and then, it feels like the moment is gone.
We went to Claire’s yesterday and it felt like the Christmas I imagine. Which, I’ve realised, is the same as the Christmas I remember from when I was younger. Presents and too much food and watching tv and playing games and being around family all day. We kind of did that and in its own way it was perfect.
We watched Stardust because the final song was playing and now reading the book is on my list. Then we watched Serendipity which is apparently 20 years old and this morning I finished Matrix Resurrections (Austin Kleon - Intermissions).
As for now, I’m thinking of adding a commonplace book to my pile of journals we’ll see and working on my mobility.
Mostly, this coming year will be on trying to do one thing at a time. To be conscious in my actions. Something I find really really really hard. Especially when using my computer or the habitual checking of my phone.
This Christmas also marks two years since I saw Mum and Dad. It’s jus something that sits at the back of my mind and is one of those things I think about a lot.

I wish OS X and iOS both had either System Preferences OR Settings. I often use search to find them on both and I think over a year I could probably save 30-40 seconds after I type the wrong one.
Again reminding me I need to read Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman. Though, I’ve realised that I’m struggling with reading non-fiction.
So close!

Move. Screens. Nature.
Yeah. Going to at least try the first and last one next Semester.
At a giant soft play for Elise’s classmates birthday.*
*Elise goes to the school I work at so all the kids and parents know me professionally. One of the parents also has a child in my class. Also, another student of our school is having a party here so more kids that know me. Holidays?
My take away is that I want some toast.
composing end-of-year poems out of the fragments found in her phone notes.
Going to try this later I think. Further to the the “Things I love list”
I forget who mentioned it but I’m really enjoying The Alpinist on Netflix. Thank you stranger!
Can anyone recommend a domain provider or doesn’t it matter which you choose?!
If I buy a new domain for micro.blog and start using it will everything “transfer” over. Does that make sense? So all my old posts will be available at the new domain?
Time of my life.
Not feeling it today but glad I at least moved a little.
20 burpees before. 5 during. 25 after.
Rewatching the last 2 episode of the first seeason of The Witcher in prepration for the 17th!
This morning I have tried to explain what “live” music is the kids and have listened to some drum and bass, punk and some reggae.
Normal dinosaurs videos will be resumed as soon as they are dressed.
Today was our work/friend’s* Santa Pub Crawl. We all went for the first place and the Lyra went off and the kids and I came home for pizza, Klaus and some Switch. Some people I was able to be honest and say, “Yeah I just don’t fancy it.”
*Where we live they are the same thing.
I struggle with feeling like I need some time to myself and not getting it.
We, as a family and I, as a father and husband and full time worker (7:30-4:30), simply don’t have the time for it. And after the kids have gone to bed never feels like quality time.
So do I need to stop expecting it? That I am not owed it then.
Maybe.
