For the past week or so, I've been using the Minimal Phone app to turn my Android phone into a boring phone. Highly recommend!

After reading this first chapter of Αλέξανδρος, I'm sad I don't have more people to practice my conversational Ancient Greek with 😢

Applying some of my sweet sweet spreadsheet skills to my #AncientGreek learning...

I made it to Chapter 15 of Λόγος, and it seems to have made a big jump in complexity.

You can tell that the people behind Biblingo really take language learning seriously and know the science of language acquisition. They introduce the pieces of Ancient Greek gradually and then give you practice with comprehensible input along the way.

The perfect combination of ancient and cutting edge technology—sometimes the best way to get the definition of an Ancient Greek word in a text I'm reading is to ask ChatGPT.

(The text is Athenaze, Italian Ed.)

I've been using the Biblingo app (biblingo.org) as part of my Ancient Greek language learning for a while now. While my interest in Ancient Greek is broader than just Biblical Greek, it's really felt like a good complement to the Ranieri-Roberts approach. Highly recommend!

I've gotten to Thrasymachus in the Ranieri-Roberts Approach, and this is great content. It's starting to get really fun to read Ancient Greek as the content gets more interesting.

This is an incredible book. Made me see comics anew. I love its approach of being both a comic itself, all while analyzing comics' art, meaning, form, and much much more. I'll be reading everything else by Scott McCloud.

I love using ChatGPT to argue two sides to a debate motion, and then summarize resulting points. Really useful for thinking through a problem.

The AI transformation is here, and it's affecting every job that involves thinking. And it's mostly a good thing: https://kathekonta.substack.com/p/the-coming-creative-renaissance
