I'm in the orbital gravity of Eip, a perfectly elliptical asteroid that is passing through the outer protection ring of Bennu Station for the first time in 2013 years. Getting here is easy on the big ships that will take a tourist, if you can afford the auto-nav fee, which I cannot. So I rented a shuttle, these days...

Last week's linkdump was apparently very polarising, because it triggered some serious HATEMAIL. Yeah. I mentioned in my intro that nobody would even notice if I skipped posting for a week, and someone sent me an e-mail saying that they came here "very angry" and that I shouldn't dare think that nobody would notice...

Dawno temu, będąc świeżo "po studiach", z jakiegoś powodu kupiłem sobie zegarek. Wybrałem wtedy model Timex T2N794, który spodobał mi się, ponieważ był cały czarny. Koperta, znaczniki godzin, wskazówki, pasek - wszystko czarne - oprócz sekundnika. Ten mimimalizm bardzo mi odpowiadał. Cena co prawda na tamte czasy...

I've finally got out of my reading slump this year and have been reading a ton. I have a long backlist of books I'm making my way through, but I'm always looking for recommendations outside of the popular, critically-acclaimed "hyped" books. Because honestly, I've found myself feeling disappointed in a huge chunk of...

Last Monday, I finally managed to capture a Lockheed Martin C-130J Hercules exactly the way I wanted it.

I’ve already mentioned Calibre quite a few times in this blog in the past; for example when I talked about my sustainable ebook strategy, or when I gave some Flatpak tips and tricks. But Calibre has become such an important part of my workflow and daily computing habit, I feel I need to publish a product review...

So one of the posts that caught my attention during this Blaugust, was this one by Why I Game. In that post, one line really got to me: There’s just a craving to be heard. To be read. To be seen. This really resonates with me. One of the things I said yesterday in my post was that my YouTube channel has slowed when...

Desde muy pequeño he estado asustado con la idea de la muerte en general, la de mis seres queridos, y especialmente la idea de la mía propia. Aunque con los años he podido ir gradualmente y a cierto nivel reconciliándome con la idea, este miedo empezó siendo paralizante. Al nivel de ser un niño de 6 años que no...

Somehow, though, I can still read it

In Kaunas, de tweede stad qua inwoners van Litouwen, konden we niet om basketbal heen. Na aankomst op het treinstation liepen we, op

Even if you haven’t read the book or seen the movie, you are likely familiar with the famous yet humorous answer to the meaning of life: 42. Just a number. The original author didn’t intend any deeper meaning and stresses that it means nothing. Ironically I think like everything in life, it holds an ounce of truth...

One of the recent USTA tournaments I played was at Ramapo College. My opponent was named Katie, and she was very sweet and nice to me. But once we got on the court, we both gave it our all to win! We played an 8-game pro set, which is shorter than a regular match, but longer than a single set. I ended up winning the...

I was 12-years-old in January 1988 when the Electronics Boutique catalog hit and I vividly remember reading it over and over, carefully planning my purchases. I focused on the games, naturally, particularly the sports games. There is so much to love in this catalog. The design aesthetic of the cover is almost too...
