Tim Ferriss puts out a weekly email called 5-Bullet Friday where he discusses the five things he’s “been loving, using, and reading.”
Honestly, I don’t find his picks overly helpful or interesting—so I unsubscribed. But I liked the idea of keeping track of things that caught my eye throughout the week.
Here are some things that I watched, read, listened to, or otherwise enjoyed this week that I noticed enough to jot down.
Watching
Netflix’s The Punisher (Season 2)
Overall, a really well-done season. I also just learned that Netflix doesn’t have an intuitive way to share a link directly to their content, so you’ll have to search it.
Reading
Parables of Judgment — Robert Farrar Capon
Stan Lemon sent me this book and I’m finally finishing the third book in the volume on the parables of judgment. I’ve really been enjoying his treatment of the parables.
Listening
Life with a Twist of Lemon
This week we had an episode on the Super Bowl, Weezer, and National Pizza Day. If you haven’t listened to the podcast, you should!
Art of Manliness Podcast #470 — A Proven System for Building and Breaking Habits
Interesting listen on habit theory.
Mac Power Users #465 — “Stephen… Who?”
Introducing the new co-host of Mac Power Users.
Consuming
Roasters Coffee House — Ethiopian Yirgacheffe
If you’re in the Cedar Rapids area, stop by Roasters to stock up on beans or to sit and enjoy a cup!
Big Grove Brew Pub
Stopped by to have lunch with friends here today. Their Duck and Cover brew was delightful.
Drink: Traditional Pink Gin
- 2 oz gin (I use Beefeater)
- 3–5 dashes Angostura bitters
- Optional garnish: lemon twist
Combine gin and bitters, stir in ice, strain into the glass of your choice.
