  • Tangentially Speaking by Chris Ryan.

    He interviews interesting people, some famous, most not. The latest episode was with a guy he happened to meet at a party and thought he had an interesting story.

    As the name implies he is very happy to go off on tangents, so the episodes can end up in topics you never would have guessed from the guest description.

    Word of warning he does tend to talk for about 30 minutes at the start of every episode. I personally enjoy it but I know others who it annoys.





  • It is hard to move away from maps completely but for pure navigation there are many alternatives. From the FOSS world, there are 2 I would recommend.

    Organic Maps - fairly clean and focused app mainly around navigation

    OsmAnd~ - a more fleshed out map app. Easily see hiking routes, ski routes, etc. This is the one I am trying to use at the moment.

    Still doesn’t help solve the google review for restraunts and shops etc, but it is a step in the right direction.




  • I use my phone for quick notes on the go, or creating lists of information I want to be able to re order and edit.

    I use pen and paper mainly for brain dumps. Getting a stream of thoughts out of my head and on to paper. I find trying to use a phone for this will lead to some distraction and the thought will go before I capture all of the info.

    I also use pen and paper when studying a topic, especially for a test, I find the simple of act of writing the information down is enough to cement it in my brain, even if I never go back and read those notes.
