Week 48, 2020 - Roaming free

I set up a new Roam database to start my “digital garden” in earnest, and have been having a blast writing and linking nodes of thought. It’s like having a blank canvas that only takes a tap to wipe clear or break off into new sections. I didn’t think the near-zero cost would make such a difference but this is addictive! Figuring out the bi-directional links digitally helps so much to make the links in my thinking. The Roam site is private as I prototype form and workflows but I’d like to make it accessible soon.

The other highlight of this week was that the confinement rules have been alleviated so that we can exercise out to 20km for three hours, instead of 1km for one. I’m so glad to be able to properly cycle again - relieved, too. There were plenty of people out on the cycling paths. I’d have liked to say everyone was in good spirits but well, a couple of entitled old farts were annoyed at how crowded it was. Too bad they can’t direct their opinions to policy makers so we get more space for cyclists in general. Anyway we had wonderful weather and I’m going to get a few more long rides in the cold sunny weather before winter sets in.
