I’ve seen many posts about people cancelling their Washington Post subscriptions, but I wonder if cancelling your Amazon Prime is the way to go?

The best thing those readers can do is cancel their $139 annual Prime subscriptions, if they have them, and invest that money in the journalism they say they want and need.

— Don’t Cancel The Washington Post. Cancel Amazon Prime.

I like The Atlantic’s point about hitting Bezos where it matters: Amazon Prime subscriptions. Newspaper subscriptions allow for more independent journalism; we shouldn’t deprive ourselves of that.

I can’t decide whether Astropad’s Bookcase is a beneficial device or not. Yes, I’d like to read more, but not necessarily from my phone. That’s why I read from my Kindle. If you limit your device count to just the essentials, e.g., no Kindle, the Bookcase would be a good buy.

It’s an excellent start to the day when you’ve added a few new RSS feeds to your feed reader over a morning brew. It’s been a while since I’ve subscribed to anything new.

Excuse me while I bookmark another seller of Notebook & EDC products. This time it’s Lochby.

Watching the final seconds of the Packers game via the Apple Sports app is not good for my stress levels. The field goal was good though. A much needed win for the Packers!

The winds are picking up now for Storm Ashley. Had I known the winds were only going to pick up now, I would have probably taken Drew out for a few holes of golf this afternoon, but the storm warning has been in place since this morning. Oh well.

I’m using an old iPad I inherited as a secondary screen for my MacBook. I’m very impressed with the setup. I can see myself using this setup a lot.

Today, finished getting the back garden in order for the winter. Just the remainder of the leaves to fall and the golf net will come down in a couple of weeks.

Really happy with the avatars Andy Carolan did for me. Sprung for the additional backgrounds as well. Might have to see if I can get a golf one for next year!

I’m looking forward to a few days off work starting tomorrow. I had big plans to play golf tomorrow, but the weather gods have scuppered any plans for that.
