👋 Hello [subscriber:firstname | default:Morftenighter]!
|
|
|
I am running late once more, which is intriguing as I am drafting an essay about focus and prioritisation that contains all the keys to solve this...
|
In 30 minutes, it will be officially Thursday, which, last time I checked, is the day after Wednesday and not an extension of it.
|
|
That's why I am keeping this short and proceeding to Morfternight, the newsletter that goes out on Wednesday!

I've been working on a few series about people in the city, particularly one that I call "Focus" on people absorbed by their pocket computer, and one I named "Walk" about people walking. This one is at the crossroads of the two!

That's why I particularly appreciate the Dithering podcast, where these two great analysts quickly dissect tech in two episodes of 15 minutes each per week. I never miss one.

For the Morfters familiar with WordPress, this needs no more introduction. However, for those who wouldn't be familiar with WordPress, it is a great way to discover the project and the community that power 43% of the web.

Vienna-Paris-Vienna, like the old times.
|
🚂
ÖBB, the Austrian railroads, just launched a new route. Two Nightjets, NJ468 & NJ469, are now travelling three times a week, by night, from Vienna to Paris and back, via Munich, Stuttgart, Strasbourg.
|
It takes longer than flying, and it's not even cheaper in most cases. Still, it's good for our planet, the train has a much lower carbon footprint than the plane, and you can actually get a cabin with only one bed if you are alone, or two as a couple, with your own bathroom, shower included, and breakfast service.
|
Also, while it does indeed take longer, you travel by night, leaving Vienna at 19.40 to arrive in Paris at 9.42, or leaving Paris at 19.58 to reach Vienna at 10.12
|
|
In the end, you get more of the arrival day in the city than if you were flying.
