Yesterday’s break from working did me a world of good, woke up today super motivated with a ton of ideas.

Thanks Spotify plus @dodeca recommendation of The XX I had a great new band to listen to in the car on the way to football yesterday.
Got hooked up an atmosphir beta invite, looking forward to getting some time at the weekend to use it to build a game with my nephew.
Can’t wait for football tonight, seems far to long since I have done any exercise.

One thing really sucks with the iPhone Spotify app - it doesn’t run in Background. Not their fault but so annoying.
Woke up at 4am to find Spotify is out on the iPhone, it’s amazing. But offline sync on playlists only & can’t create new ones in the app.
About to board flight 4 of 4 - Heathrow to Newcastle.
