Great article about Simon Lizotte and Disc Golf in the Financial Post https://financialpost.com/news/how-disc-golf-star-built-million-a-year-career
Power position: How a disc golf star built a US$1-million-a-year career

Ploum on How We Lost Communication to Entertainment – Jim Roepcke – Canadian iOS Developer

Canadian iOS Developer

Just bought an annual subscription to Tapestry by @Iconfactory. It’s exactly what I want in a feed reader for Bluesky, Mastodon, Reddit and more.

My name is Brendan and I'm an indie Mac and iOS app developer. I write the app Tap Forms Database Pro. It's an awesome database construction app along the lines of Bento and FileMaker. Use it to keep track of anything you can imagine.

Please visit my home page to purchase a copy:

And if you could support an indie developer and boost this post I'd be very grateful.

Thanks!

Beat Saber is out for PS4 and I’ve ordered a PSVR so I can play it. Can’t wait for it to arrive!

I ended a 4 day water fast this evening. I barely had any hunger the entire time - honestly, less than I used to have when I ate 3 meals a day!

I got used to 24 hour fasts over the the last few months of eating one meal a day, but I wasn’t expecting longer fasts to be so easy!

How do you buy/download/install a Steam Early Access game? I've been staring at this page and I have not figured it out.

Sigh.

After weeks of smoke so bad we couldn’t even go for a walk outside, we finally had blue sky, moderate temperature and clean air in Penticton today. I marked the occasion by going to play disc golf. First time in months due to the smoke and extreme heat.

This summer has basically been a write off and after a long cold winter it’s really depressing to have had a summer where we must stay inside.
