The Sunday Summary - 3rd July 2022

Sunday Summary from Tom the Taxi Driver

Hey , Welcome back to my Sunday Summary, a collection of insights and my behind the scenes from the past week.

💂‍♂️ A London article I'm reading:Did Charles Dickens Ever Ride On The London Underground? - Matt Brown - LondonistI do like crossovers with dates in London.With the early Metropolitan line opening in Jan 1863 and Dickens living 'il 1870, Dickens' riding on the cut and cover is an interesting image to conjure.I won't spoil it for you but it certainly gets you thinking.📺 I've been watching:Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe (Paramount +)I haven't laughed this hard in a while. Super excited that Mike Judge will be making more episodes of the original series format. If you liked the original film or series then this certainly doesn't disappoint.

🧑‍🏫 My Skillshare Class:Getting Started with Final Cut Pro X - Beginner to YouTuberIf you haven't already, you can get FREE 1 Month Access to my Skillshare class where I share exactly how I edit with Final Cut Pro X. It's designed with the complete beginner in mind, so no experience necessary, or if you are just curious to see what goes into one of my videos then this might be an interesting watch.Free TrialMy Course 

📺 A YouTube clip:Why This Minimalist Doesn't Have Home Internet - The MinimalistsAlready abiding by one of the practices in this video (I don't own a TV) it's interesting to hear other perspectives on using technology more intentionally. I love creating friction between some of the easy time drains in life.One featured idea I quite like is the "entryway rule", whereby you leave your phone on charge at the entry to your house and that is where it lives whilst you are at home.  Almost like converting your mobile phone into a home phone when you get home.  New on YouTube this week:No new video this week, I've had a lingering cold that has upset my filming and editing schedule, and a few other curve balls have made it a write off of a week.  But currently in the works:

  • A shift video from the hottest day of the year!

  • Common cab driver questions answered

  • Why I became a London cabbie

  • London cabbie reacts (TV & Film suggestions here would be great)

  • London cabbie reviews London roads (Hyde Park Corner, Euston overpass etc)

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Please feel free to reach out to me with your; comments, concerns or just general conversation.  

I'd love to know what you're up to or what you might be working on!

 📝😁

Have a great week everyone!
