Reading this makes me want to vibe code my own bookshelf.
Reading as an antidote to screen time
The author of Reading Cannot Be Replaced, Here’s Why gave words to the hollow feeling I have after sitting in front of a screen for too long:
Then, it occurred to me that the feeling wasn’t sadness per se, but a crash from being overstimulated.
A crash. Screens evoke the neurological equivalent of a sugar rush. Or at least it feels that way.
This reminded me that for a short period of time, I was so fed up with screens that I started printing articles in 8 point font.
A Jersey Mike’s just opened down the road from our house. I placed my first order at the new location today, and was delighted to discover that the Jersey Mike’s website is awesome! You can tell they put a lot of care into the user experience. Adding an item to the “bag” (cart) is very satisfying. A little image of the item flies over to the bag and disappears inside while the bag bounces up and down. Do they need those animations? No. But it makes for a delightful little ordering experience. Well done Jersey Mike’s.

wife: Daddy’s making us breakfast because he’s a saint.
daughter: No, he’s not a saint. He’s just a yucky guy.
me and wife: 😲😲🤣🤣
We got a new bookshelf and went through all of our books when we set it up. I’ve been married to my wife for 5 years and didn’t realize she had a bunch of great books I want to read! Of the five shelves of books we had, these are the ones I’m hoping to read soon. What else should I add to my list?
A brontosaurus with its heart beating out of its… neck?
Bacon? On a weekday!?
Yes. 🥓🥓🥓
