The slow progress to USB-C

When I gradually started to realise the promise of USB-C I began to dream of a time where I had *just one* charging cable for all my stuff.

Sadly this has not yet come to pass, but I do edge ever closer (unlike my wife who has been living the single cable life for a while now thanks to Apples Lightning connector).

So far my phone (Pixel 1, yes 1) and headphones support USB-C, and my work laptop. Sadly my 1st gen Apple Mini is still stuck with Lightning and my personal laptops are trapped with their own propriety connector.

Much as I would love too, I don't think getting USB-C is enough of a justification to upgrade (either of) my laptops and an iPad Pro is simply out of the question.

Still my quest for the single cable charging solution continues.

Often overlooked in the movies and cartoons, #meditation was a key tool of the #Jedi, especially when they needed a clear mind to deal with difficult times. This #MayThe4th I encourage you to give #meditation a try, just 5 minutes can make a huge difference and can be especially helpful at times like this. People aren't joking when they say it will change your life, it will. Not overnight, but in small ways every single day. And really that's the only way to make change, small, incremental steps, every day. #maythe4thbewithyou #starwars #biohacking #thichnhathanh #themiracleofmindfulness #calm #dailycalm #jediknight https://www.instagram.com/p/B_xv9_TH717/?igshid=1gwelcixr1y0s

Taking the dog out first thing in the morning is a great opportunity for me to reconnect with the sights and sounds of #nature, while getting in some #grounding practice. #breathhold: 1:50/2:10/2:11/2:10/1:54 #pushups: 35 (100 daily total) #meditation: 20 min #coldshower: 2 min #wimhofmethod #quarantinechallenge #100pushupchallenge #pushupchallenge #showeroutside https://www.instagram.com/p/B_VIxe5JRIl/?igshid=1xrhkmccoefah

Despite being in lockdown we always try to get at least 2.24 hours outside to get some #skytime. Thankful we are surrounded by some fantastic green spaces. #breathhold: 1:40/1:50/1:52/2:09/2:01 #pushups: 25 (100 daily total) #coldshower: 2 min #meditation: 10 min #naturalhuman #skytimeoverscreentime #wimhofmethod #quarantinechallenge #coldshowerchallenge #100pushupchallenge https://www.instagram.com/p/B_PaOp6p5mR/?igshid=1ugog00zlsbyh

Time for a spot of art therapy with IB. That was meant to be a unicorn, but I think it's a lizard now.... #arttherapy #UKLockdown https://www.instagram.com/p/B-2Av49pvnZ/?igshid=159v4vvae6aoa

Stuck #WorkingFromHome does not mean stuck at a desk! A lot of my day is spent on conference calls so here I'm taking the opportunity to switch it up and reset with a #squat. I'm a couple of lessons into @thenaturallifestylist great squat tutorial as it seems like a great time to work on it! #UKLockdown #WFH #biohacking #100pushupchallenge https://www.instagram.com/p/B-pGWWipxrJ/?igshid=1okheqtlrjcx5

Yesterday's #wimhofmethod #quarantinechallenge, day 2! I've been extending the 4 minute #meditation as the #breathwork seems to help put me in the right mindset. I've also started doing the #100pushupchallenge, keeping motivated to exercise without access to the gym. #coldshower #WHM https://www.instagram.com/p/B-bkBAiJtHC/?igshid=1wbvu2wngfz77

Today's lunchtime run was about 9°c, practically tropical 😉 Today I started to really notice how much easier the breathing method is when you don't try to force and just relax. • #wimhofbreathing: 2:04/2:17/2:23 #wimhofpushups: 39 #coldshower: 3:00 #meditation: 20:00 • #wimhofmethod #scottcarneymethod #intermittenthypoxictraining #iht #coldshowerchallenge #strava #biohacking #biohacker https://www.instagram.com/p/B8Hl1ryJcty/?igshid=820vyiqhl41q

January 2020, #wimhofmethod and @Calm #meditation every damn day! • The general routine started with 3 rounds of #wimhofbreathing then #wimhofpushups, followed by a #dailycalm #meditation and finished up with a ice #coldshower. • Looking forward to keeping up the momentum through #February and beyond, with that added challenge of a weekly #icebath! • #biohacking #coldshowerchallenge https://www.instagram.com/p/B8D4amSpp26/?igshid=6v4k3ykrytxi
