  • πŸ”— California exceeds 100% of energy demand with renewables over a record 30 days

    Apr 16, 2024
    by James
    In a major clean energy benchmark, wind, solar, and hydro exceeded 100% of demand on California's main grid for 30 of the past 38 days.
    Why isn't this being shouted from the rooftops? The future is here, it's just not evenly distributed.

  • The Week #198

    Apr 16, 2024
    by James
    • 🏫 Leo had his first full week of primary school. He seems to be getting along well with everyone and enjoys the after school program. I haven't a clue what he's actually doing in school each day as he doesn't say...but he did write his last name.

      But it wasn't all roses. Leo's been low-key stressing about school lunch (as he's a picky eater 😒). The first day of school lunch the moment he woke up he started crying he didn't want to go to school. I had to drag him outside and to the meeting point (crying the entire way). And I had to walk with him all the way to where he entered the building (crying). When he came home he was all smiles and happy. "How was lunch?" "Good πŸ‘". All that crying and effort and stress for nada.
    • 🍱 Since Leo's now eating school lunch, I no longer need to make bento every morning. Which is quite nice as it took a bit of time. But also a bit of a problem as it means my lunch isn't made already either.
    • πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ I managed to get out for a run. This cold had been persisting for a while and some medicine from the doc helped me get well enough to run. It felt good to get out there again and just boat along.
    • πŸ“Ί I started watching Franklin, which has proven to be quite interesting. I like that the French people speak French, unlike in Napoleon. It's also made me think I should probably add a biographyΒ  or two to my kindle.

  • πŸ”— Living Like It's 99: No Social Media, No Smartphone

    Apr 15, 2024
    by James
    At the time of writing this article, I’ve been living without social media for 3 years and without a smartphone for 2 years. Everything started as an experiment motivated by my privacy concerns.
    Not such a bad idea...he says after having just purchase an iPhone 14 😬
