  • I live in a fairly small town. Notably it was never bulldozed to build gigantic stroads or highways and grew slowly enough that there is a single stroad which the city has been slowly extending a sidewalk/bikepath along. For anyone who lives and works in town, it’s very walkable/bikable. Problem is it’s a small town of around 10-15k people so lots of stuff requires running to the nearest large city for medical appointments and shopping and whatnot

    With remote work my family has been able to make it work with only one car, and I’ll bike to stuff in town so my wife can use the car when she needs to. There’s some logistical challenges at times but ultimately it’s really nice only worrying about the cost of a single shared vehicle


  • I had a Android Wear watch for a minute. Got it for free from a coworker. I liked it but when it died I felt like I lost nothing of value. Now I just wear an analogue watch (one of Citizen’s watches which has a solar panel on the face which charges a capacitor to power it so no batteries to worry about) and that does everything I need from a watch plus it’s small enough that it never gets in the way unlike the Android Wear watch

    I’ve been doing a ton of cardio lately. Just knowing how long, fast and far I’ve biked is enough to get a good idea of progress which doesn’t require a fitness tracker. I’m considering something cheap to get an idea of heart rate and effort but at some point it’s just more data for the sake of more data
