Twiske evening walk, Thursday 23 July 2015

The RSS feed of podcasts published by 99% Invisible only goes back 100 episodes. I started listening to 99PI back in April on my last marathon walk, which was around episode 161: Show of Force. So to go back beyond episode 61 I manually download them and load them into Downcast (my current podcast app of choice).

Or I use the web archive to go back the each episode’s permalink, and play it directly from there. That’s what I did on Thursday 23rd July. I had a week of time off at home after our two weeks away, and I used most of it to reorganize my office (again). The stacked-plastic-box filing solution I had been using to replace my old steel filing cabinet wasn’t pleasing me, and the giant bookcases had been feeling oppressive. I cut one of the bookcases down into two parts so that I’ve got some wall space to hang things up, and I made an Ikea run to acquire a couple of under- and near-desk filing space. It makes a big difference, and even now, almost a month later, the clutter equilibrium on my desk is at a much lower level than before.

But the maintenance work left me feeling tired and depressed, so I went out for a walk in het Twiske on the Thursday evening. Listened to the (short! 4-5 minute long) first episodes of 99% Invisible, and enjoyed the golden hour around the setting sun.
