Ness Labs: Interstitial journaling: combining notes, to-do & time tracking
Interstitial journaling is a productivity technique created by Tony Stubblebine. To my knowledge, it’s the simplest way to combine note-taking, tasks, and time tracking in one unique workflow. You don’t need any special software, but Roam Research makes it even easier to do thanks to the flexibility of daily notes. Interstitial journaling has had an amazing impact on my productivity and creativity, and I think many people would enjoy it.
The basic idea of interstitial journaling is to write a few lines every time you take a break, and to track the exact time you are taking these notes. For instance: …
ScienceAlert: The Arctic’s ‘Last Ice Area’ May Vanish Even Faster Than Predicted
The ‘Last Ice Area’ is expected to be the final place in the Arctic where ice persists all year round even as our planet warms up – but a new study suggests the region, and the ecosystem that relies on it, are going to disappear sooner than previously estimated.
Researchers led by a team from McGill University in Canada took a closer look at the Last Ice Area (LIA) using the Community Earth System Model, which goes into more detail than simulations used in the past.
In particular, the new model is more comprehensive in accounting for sea currents and ice flow, which in turn accelerates how quickly the last ice area becomes seasonally ice-free after the central Arctic Ocean does.
Umpire Pat Hoberg fired for sharing betting accounts with friend who bet on baseball
Umpire Pat Hoberg was fired by Major League Baseball on Monday for sharing his legal sports gambling accounts with a friend who bet on baseball games and for intentionally deleting electronic messages pertinent to the league’s investigation.

“Although the baseball bets were profitable, the data did not support a finding that baseball bets from Individual A’s accounts were connected to game-fixing or other efforts to manipulate any part of any baseball game or event,” MLB said in its findings. “The baseball betting activity did not focus on any particular club, pitcher or umpire, and there was no apparent correlation between bet success and bet size. The eight bets on games Hoberg worked similarly did not reveal any obvious pattern.”
Wild’s Ryan Hartman suspended 10 Games
Ryan Hartman of the Minnesota Wild has been suspended 10 games for slamming an opponent’s head to the ice with his right arm on a faceoff.
The NHL’s Department of Player Safety announced the ban Monday night after holding a Zoom hearing with him hours earlier. Holding the hearing by Zoom instead of a phone call allowed the league to suspend for six or more games.
This is the longest suspension for on-ice conduct since Washington’s Tom Wilson got 20 games in 2018 for an illegal check to the head. That was reduced to 14 games on appeal by a neutral arbitrator, though Wilson had already served 16.
⋮
This is Hartman’s fifth suspension and fourth since 2023.

Hartman is forfeiting $487,805 in salary as part of his 11th instance of supplemental discipline in 663 regular-season and playoff games since debuting in 2105 [sic].
