Currently reading: Learning Korean: Recipes for Home Cooking by Peter Serpico 📚Normally, I wouldn’t post a cookbook as something I’m currently reading but if you’ve ever wanted to learn how to cook good Korean home food, it’s great. Easy to follow, somewhat Americanized, and everything is delicious.
Finished reading: Gideon the Ninth (The Locked Tomb Trilogy Book 1) by Tamsyn Muir 📚I haven’t decided whether I’ll go on with this series. Probably too much gratuitous gore for me.
Currently reading: A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers 📚
Many long-covid symptoms linger even after two years, new study shows or 3.5 years, like my brother.

Currently reading: The Ferryman by Justin Cronin 📚
Finished reading: A Very Typical Family by Sierra Godfrey 📚It’s set in Santa Cruz, CA, where I lived in the 1980s, but ultimately is just a romance novel. Though it is unintentionally thought-provoking about incarceration and the difference that white privilege makes.
Finished reading: The Last Palace by Norman Eisen 📚interesting book about Prague and Czech history from the POV of Obama’s ambassador who is also the son of a Czech refugee.

Finished reading: Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus 📚it’s ok. The best character is the dog.
I really like this wireless bone conduction headset. It’s wonderful not having something covering or in my ears. I feel so much more connected to the outside world.
I also like that the headset connects to my Mac and my iPhone and I can make or answer calls on either device without any need for explicit switching. It just works.
The audio quality for listening is good, though I wouldn’t use it for music.
The noise-canceling part of the microphone is amazing. I get lots of road noise in my office during the summer when my windows are open, and with this headset, no one can hear it. The quality of the microphone sound is good, though not as good as using a standalone wired microphone. I’ll use the Shokz for video conferences and Skype calls, and use my real microphone when recording videos.
Ugh. Garbage AI-generated books are being sold under a real author’s byline.
Decided to restart the None to Run program that worked well for me a couple of years ago. None to Run. I use the iPhone app Intervals Prowhich has the program built in. 🏃♀️

Finished reading: Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt 📚A silly novel. The best character is the small town on the Washington coast.
Still reading: Clarissa by Samuel Richardson 📚I think I started reading this in January and have been diligently making progress every week but I’m still only a third of the way through! At this point, I’ll keep going just so I can say I finished it, hopefully, within the same year I started it.
Finished reading: The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield 📚So fun. An intentionally gothic tale, good characters.
