Five for Friday – July 28, 2023

I have fully recovered from the Taylor Swift concert last week, and ready to share a few things I think are interesting.

  • We may as well lead with Tay – not surprisingly, the Seattle shows registered measurable seismic activity I’m sure the same will happen in Santa Clara this weekend.
  • I want to link to Abi Noda’s newsletter every week, but I’m sure you all read it yourself already. This week, however, I want to highlight his post on reflective goal setting (or as I think of it – a personal retrospective). I’ve been doing something similar for years, and it really works. Definitely worth a read and a try.
  • I’m one of those weirdos who loves shell scripting. I’m also one of those people who forgets shit all the time. This bash cheatsheet – while one of millions on the subject, works quite well for me.
  • I’ve been fascinated with this Climate Analyzer from University of Maine. Fascinated and a little frightened. It’s worth checking out.
  • There can be only Two. My weekly FfF posts are inspired by Tim Ferris’s Five Bullet Friday. But now there’s another FfF player on the block – Anand Jayaram has joined in on the FfF fun (FfFf?) with his weekly Five for Friday posts.

Thanks again for reading – have a great weekend, wherever you are.
