@derekpeden very tempting! It was the excessively long list in my share sheet that got me started. I had at least ten Shortcuts for posting to Micro.blog π

@devondundee great review of an interesting app
Matt Routley
@mroutley
@jimmitchell definitely worth it to us (2 adults and 2 kids). I like that each of us can have separate libraries, while still all having access to the HomePods and AppleTVs

@sarcassem thanks. They bring us such joy and leave too soon

@amerpie I'm glad you're okay! I had a fall detection last year when I was in a bike accident (I was okay) and I'm happy that this feature exists

@toddgrotenhuis I really like the premise of the series and thought they explored it well in the first book. Maybe the second book sets up the third one well?

Finished reading: The Long War by Stephen Baxter is okay. Not nearly as interesting as the first book in the series and has a rather meandering plot π
Matt Routley
@mroutley
Finished reading: I mostly enjoyed The Terraformers by Annalee Newitz. Great world building across thousands of years and interesting ideas. The middle third dragged a bit though π

@ericmwalk Those are very fun!

πββοΈ Coming across this World War 1 monument, seemingly in the middle of nowhere while running on a country road, was a good reminder of the sacrifices people have made for us

π΅ Although more cheerful than the last few albums, Wild God by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds is still steeped in spiritual yearning

@mroutley
Finished reading: A Prayer for the Crown-Shy by Becky Chambers is delightful. The Monk and Robot series is fun. Sort of like a mirror universe Murderbotπ

@mroutley
@renevanbelzen for sure. Thatβs good advice

Finished reading: The Hidden Palace by Helene Wecker is richly detailed with interesting characters and intriguing plot. A nice sequel to The Golem and the Jinni π

πββοΈ I find it easier to keep good form at faster paces. So, practicing staying tall at a more moderate pace
Matt Routley
@mroutley
πββοΈ Inspired by finishing The Lost Art of Running to pay attention to my form. For this run I focused on running tall and looking forward. Tough to maintain on the hills

@mroutley
@KimberlyHirsh looks fantastic! The kids are in for a treat
Matt Routley
@mroutley
Finished reading: The Lost Art of Running by Shane Benzie has lots of great anecdotes and tips. I know my running form could be better and this book has both inspired and empowered me to improve π

@ericmwalk so much nicer than a pool. This place weβve rented is the only one on the lake and it is nice to not worry about boat traffic while swimming

@renevanbelzen yeah, disappointing that they aren't willing to invest in a good, though only moderately popular, show
