Mashup Score: 0Miloš Miljković - 3 month(s) ago
📺 Beckham (2023) seems to have had full access to David and Victoria. It may have paid for that access by painting too rosy of a picture of the couple. But that’s OK! I have new respect for both realizing how young they were when they had their family photos plastered all over tabloids, and how dedicated David Beckham was to football and family — in that order. Most of all, how dedicated his parents were to his career, which is all the more poignant when you realize, in the last few moments of the last episode, that he could not show the same dedication to his own children.

Mashup Score: 3There is at least one good reason to use AVP in public; alas, even I am too self-concious to do it - 3 month(s) ago
I am attending a medical conference in Valencia, Spain this week — more thoughts on being back in Europe after 7 years coming up — and all I could think about while sitting in the auditorium, looking at slides and listening to the speakers was that these kinds of events would be the perfect use case for AVP. The congress center in Valencia is top-notch, with comfortable seats and plenty of leg room.

Mashup Score: 0Apple Vision Pro and productivity, one week in - 3 month(s) ago
AVP’s use as a personal entertainment device in unquestionable, and I look forward to catching up on many movies, TV shows and PS5 games in which no one else in the family has shown any interest. That alone is sufficient reason not to return it. But why I bought it in the first place was to do work while traveling, and even though there are signigificant and valid concerns about its use as a “productivity device” — the quotes are there because I have developed an aversion to productivity as a concept — I think I will be able to deal with the many tradeoffs, some of which are:

Mashup Score: 2Five somewhat esoteric mental models I have found useful - 4 month(s) ago
In anticipation of the new edition of Poor Charlie’s Almanack arriving by mail — alas, the new delivery date is February 15 — I have been mulling over the more unusual mental models I’ve adopted since first reading about the latticework. The latticework is a mental model of its own — a meta-mental model, if you will — and you would do well to adopt some all of Mungers. The five I list here aren’t the models you will find in the Almanack, but I would not have identified them as such and remembered them were it not for Munger’s wisdom.

Writing and editing are distinct skills. As I gaze into a stream of text that someone else wrote and several more people edited, as I try to make sense of the reds and the greens and the teals of Word’s tracked changes stacked on top of the red squiggles and the double underlines, as the nested comments flow one after another until my (aging!?) M1 MacBook Air begins to stutter, I realize that, at heart, I am a writer.

Mashup Score: 16📚 2023 - 5 month(s) ago
At the beginning of the year, I set out to read 23 books. Mission accomplished? As expected, my favorite of the year was not on that wish list. Here are all 23, ordered by some semblance of category. The Sunken Land Begins to Rise Again by M. John Harrison: Harrison at his best, just don’t expect a neat resolution. Empty Space: A Haunting by M. John Harrison: a fitting end to my favorite sci-fi trilogy.

Mashup Score: 0🍿 2023 - 5 month(s) ago
Only six movies that came out this year made it to my watch list: Oppenheimer: three movies in one, and only one of them was good. Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken: forgettable. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse: easily the best of the lot. Elemental: initially a disappointment, but has more depth the more I think about it. Barbie: better than Oppenheimer but also too long and not very good by the end.

Mashup Score: 10The wellness visit - 5 month(s) ago
I am not a fan of “wellness” visits, those yearly exams that your insurance insists you should do even if you don’t have any medical problems. Evidence from randomized controlled trials suggests they don’t make any difference to people’s health, but they (obviously) contribute to the primary care physicians’ workload. Having said that, I recently reached a nice round number of years, so it was time to get my cholesterol checked and finally get a flu shot.

Good show, would recommend, especially if you remember the late 1990s https://t.co/GB1g6CBPjf
