Missing Planes, Legalizing Gangs, Steal Like an Artist, & a new blog post

Happy Wednesday !

I hope you're having a great week! I managed to get quite a bit of reading done over the long weekend (Happy belated Canada Day!). Here are the highlights:

Blog Post I Wrote: Measurement is Not the Goal (and Sleep Anxiety is Real)

I wrote this post after a discussion with a friend about tracking sleep, and the potential downsides. It coincided with a recent case study being published, and served as a good reminder for me, as a person who loves to track everything possible.

Book Notes I Added: Steal Like an Artist - Austin Kleon

Fun and fast to read, motivating, and actionable. What more could you want? One of my favourite books on creating things.

Articles I'm Reading:

What Really Happened to Malaysia's Missing Airplane - The Atlantic - Turns out, the mystery of MH370 isn't really much of a mystery anymore. The sad part is, it looks like it was one person at fault for the actual deed (though many who were incompetent during and after).

Stay in the game - Having recently visited Santa Teresa, Costa Rica, this story particularly hit home for me. Be kind, people; you never know when it will make a difference.

Ecuador legalized gangs. Murder rates plummeted. - Vox - The kind of story I find particularly fascinating, where something supposedly intuitive is flipped on its head, with startling results. See also the War on Drugs.

Study: White Oak Pastures Beef Reduces Atmospheric Carbon - I've been reading some counter-arguments against Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat, and this adds to those. The issue of replacing meat is not a simple one.

John McAfee Fled to Belize, But He Couldn't Escape Himself - Wired - Having visited Ambergris Caye with my family years ago, this story is even more interesting, but McAfee himself is a wild figure.

Song I'm Listening To: Lake Nivu - Jarro

One of the best work songs I've found in a while. I've been listening to this on repeat for the last week while working. Here's my full work playlist.

Have a great week!
