Great night for a hit.
Just finished seeing Avengers End Game. An amazing conclusion to this part of the MCU. Fans will not be disappointed!
The context switching curse
It’s taken me such a long time to find my way back to what I was doing yesterday.
Some things are easier to find your way back to, but other things can take longer. I usually find that the bigger the task I was doing, the longer it takes to get back on track. It can get frustrating, especially when you’re making steady progress with something.
I’m starting to wonder though if by focusing on smaller tasks as well as keeping a log for the day, that I can begin to reduce the time it takes me to get back on track again.
No more big game politics please
It looks like the people of Scotland could be on their way for another vote on independence.
I’m not that particularly enthused about the idea. We just had an independence vote, and we’re still trying to get Brexit done and dusted. Now because of Brexit, we could be voting on independence again. To say I have politics fatigue is an understatement.
I’m starting to wonder if we’ll ever see politicians returning to the everyday matter of running the country instead of this seemingly never-ending cycle of big game politics.
Change the game up with NB’s power rules.
Ubisoft are making Assassin’s Creed Unity free to download on PC and donating money to the restoration project for Notre-Dame. I never thought I would see gaming and culture cross-over like this.
It's Earth Day today, so go find a cave
However, if you haven’t yet made plans and wish to take a stand, there is one activity that you can do alone at home that will help you and the planet. It ensures that ever-so-briefly you are not contributing to climate change, and are doing what you can to save endangered species. Don’t drive or fly. Don’t buy anything. Do no laundry. Turn off the lights. Avoid going online. Depending on where on Earth you are, shut down the air-conditioning or heaters (unless you’ve got solar panels!).
— The best thing you can do on Earth Day is sit perfectly still
I appreciate that doing nothing can help climate change, but I’m reading this article on the day of Earth Day and if sharing it means I can get a few more people to increase their time offline, then it’s worth that little burst of me being online today.
Good advice from NB that can apply to more than just business.
Start the plan to make 6 months from now so much easier.
Great day down at Troon today with Jennifer and the boys.
Spent most of the day walking along the beach searching for shells for Drew’s school project. The water was nice and cool for a refreshing dip at the end of the walk as well.
The revolving door of football managers
I don’t really follow the football in the UK, but it surpises me how often managers are held accountable for a team’s performance. I get that as a manager they are responsible for the team as a collection, but is there no argument against the team itself as well as the manager?
McLeish was under pressure from day one and didn’t have the capacity to deal with it. It was painful to watch at times. It’s now over, but the old problems remain at Hampden. It’s not just about who the next manager should be, it’s about who can be trusted to appoint that new manager.

22 years without a major tournament appearance. With a record like this, I’d say it’s less about who can be trusted and more about who would want such a position.
