Authors note. This little something was supposed to bloom into something else, but it never did. Still though, I think it captures a moment, which is equally as smashing! We slowly draw closer in the enveloping blackness. My porch light...
I used to have a blog during my university years. It was in WordPress, hosted at https://thiagoperrotta.wordpress.com/, called “Everyday Serendipity”. At first I would write in my mother tongue (Portuguese), then I would switch to...
Sin surrounds me, but God is greater. I've been using my prayer rope more intensely, in spite of certain vices coming back into my life. I'm on my third pack of cigarettes now. I've been succumbing to lustful tendencies. As I've...
Weekly Thing 341 brings up AI fatigue: With that though our ability to do more fills with more things that we wished we could do. No matter what, there is still only so much time and energy in the day. The fact that Claude is there at...
Somente depois da reviravolta que foi o anúncio do Discord sobre a coleta de ID para a verificação de idade a ficha finalmente caiu para mim: o Discord (e outros serviços) simplesmente tem informações demais sobre o que a gente faz,...
Ketika sedang random scrolling di YouTube, saya menemukan video klip super unik ini: anggotanya menari menggunakan treadmill dengan irama musik yang catchy. Saya merasa pernah dengerin lagu ini entah kapan. Gak begitu inget, tapi tipe...
I added limited support for Webmention to this site’s static site generator using remy/wm this weekend. (By limited support, I mean that I can now send outbound webmentions when I’d like. I have no webmention endpoint, however, so I...
(image courtesy of Suika Litchi) life is strange, each day spent pacing this quiet anteroom. my footsteps echo and bounce off the walls around me, as regular and as plodding as my still-beating heart. even as we both tire further, driven...
“Leave something of sweetness and substance in the mouth of the world.” I lost my darling friend Emily Levine (October 23, 1944–February 3, 2019) just as Figuring, in which she rightly occupies the first line of the acknowledgements, was...
I love typewriters. I love digital music. I love taking photos. I love technology. I love cycling. I love history. I love bookbinding. I love e-books. I love walking. I love vintage cameras. I love writing. I love architecture. I love...
Fue el Super Bowl. No lo vi porque no sigo los deportes, pero sé que es un evento popular donde muchos aprovechan para reunirse con amigos y hacer carne asada — al menos aquí en Chihuahua es casi regla. Yo la pasé solo. No es queja, de...
People from the University of Oxford are organising events related to free software: FLOSS @ Oxford. On Thursday, the 12th of March 2026, at 6 PM United Kingdom time (GMT) I will give a talk titled Computing in freedom with GNU Emacs. My...

The weather forecast promised +4°C. But somehow I missed the fact that it was going to be rather windy. I realized my mistake when standing at the rooftop of P2, waiting for a Boeing 737-800 operated by Alba Star (reg. EC-NAB) to depart...
"Stratagemi Ingegnosi" (Ingenious Stratagems) from the Gli abiti de veneziani (1754) by Giovanni Grevembroch, translated by René Seindal.
This post is a continuation of this one where I talked about what my first psychiatric appointment was like. I highly recommend reading it first before you dive into this one because it contains a lot of context. Day 1 My first day on...
I see everyone doing weeknotes or monthly recaps, and I want in. Except, I don’t want to tie myself down to a weekly or monthly format, so instead, these kind of posts will just appear randomly whenever I feel I have something to say....

Paul Thomas Anderson's flick is a mood — and like squash, requires gumption to peel but worth the effort. ⊕Currently Listening: Gil Scott-Heron “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised”Reply via email
New entry for the devlog: We now have a proper distinction between singleplayer/multiplayer-coop. The later one is now also fully functional. For coop I implemented player-specific colors, so it is possible to see who dropped which...
“I shall have ever present to my memory the dreadful day, on which I saw my father and mother killed, and my sister ravished. When the Bulgarians retired, my dear sister could not be found; but my mother, my father, and myself, with two...
I drive German, but not an Audi. Mine is another finely engineered German make. You can’t beat German technology. They engineer everything to perfection, like the Japanese. If it’s German, it’s not just good, it is excellent. It’s in...
Working in the grocery industry, you’re forced to think well into the future, whether you like to or not. That means your local grocery store is already focusing on Easter Sunday, now that Valentine’s is out of the way. This sticks out...
I've been thinking about writing a post on the Discord age verification thing, but the entire situation is milked to death by content creators right now. Everyone feels the need to throw their conspiracy theories and misinformation into...
I discuss recent changes to the website such as a reintroduction of a comment form to the website, posts, and my intentions to blog more frequently about more than just design and artwork.
With the upcoming movie adaptation, I guess it's a good of a time as ever to remind myself the Rendezvous with Rama. Rama is a gigantic alien vessel which travels though the universe and reaches the Solar System around the year 2130....
We all know it's important to manage our money well, but holy mother of mackerel can it feel overwhelming to actually do so. At least on the surface. I think that personal finance1 can be complicated, but for most people, it's one of...
I’ve been handling a lot of WordPress this week. At work, oh boy, and also around here on my blog. My database woes are documented, everything else doesn’t need to be mentioned and can get lost in the rivers of time. At least as far as I...
It's 2 a.m., and I'm writing this in my childhood bedroom. But I'm not a child anymore, and I've come to that horrible realization that probably comes upon everyone in their early twenties, when they think they've been changing for the...
I just read the editorial of the current Bergwelten magazine and this paragraph expresses so well the difference of AI to our real world: AI …

This is an excellent video about modern UI/UX: "The Hidden Cost of 'Clean' Design." I highly recommend watching it and checking out Ilia's other work. I agree with nearly everything in the video, including this standout quote: If you...
I was sent a video of a deer eating a begonia. I thought to myself that begonias do not sound like ideal deer food. According to Coast Redwood Adventures, begonias are a deer-resistant plant. Granting the caveats in the CRA article that...
Préface à « La déception informatique » Ce texte est la préface que j’ai écrite pour le livre « La déception informatique » d’Alain Lefebvre ». Le livre n’est malheureusement disponible en version papier que sur… gasp… Amazon ! Mais les...
You've probably heard of microformats before, if youre on the technical site of the indie web. If you haven't, long story short: Microformats are a way to attach metadata to the HTML of your personal website, using just HTML. For...

Days without turning off site blockers: 0 I'm in a slump. Today was the first 'official' day of my break and I spent most of it doing some lousy cleaning and crocheting (I finished one of my mitts!). I'm starting to think this is an...
El pasado viernes se lanzó la página web de la WordCamp Málaga 2026. Un evento que girará alrededor de WordPress y el e-commerce. Organizado por la comunidad de WordPress de la ciudad de Málaga y alrededores. Esta edición, centrada en...
Ughhhh, this has been a heck of a week.As usual I’ve been full of pain. And my brief surge of enthusiasm for working on music got cut kind of short because of it. But I’m hoping that tomorrow feels better and I can go back to the...
The latest artwork is larger than a usual PC-98 image but it shares characteristics of it in almost every other respect. It depicts an elf mage in a 1990s style. I wanted it to look like it was from an obscure OVA.
February 2026. Turin. You’ll be wanting to see Mrs RM’s tourist map for Turin, the highlights marked with chocolate bars. Our first target after checking at I Reali guesthouse was food. What’s more authentically Torino than an artisan...
Something I really appreciate about Bear Blog (and personal blogging in general) is that there’s no intended audience involved. When I write on here I’m just writing to write. I’m trying to write a lot more in general. And publish what I...
Hi Chris! I hope this u-in-reply-to webmention reaches you (it’s the first time I’m using this Microformat markup type). Your guestbook is a retro and fun page; a nice surprise and contrast to your clean, modern, and user-friendly site....
Eu estou a um tempo pra escrever esse review. Queria pensar com calma o que escrever sobre o jogo. A série Trails é uma saga que mora no meu coração e eu não queria escrever algo que não ficasse feliz com o resultado. A primeira vez eu...
Oprah Winfrey and I have something in common, which is that our favorite album is Paul Simon’s Graceland. I’ve been thinking a lot recently about the opening track, “The Boy in the Bubble”. The song can be read a few different ways, but...
Polly Pockets is the cutest, most snuggly cat we have. We got her and Mac at a kitten adoption event here in the Richmond area in 2024. I would describe her physical appearance as a medium/long hair, calico, ragamuffin mix. Polly...
Modern CSS code snippets, side by side with the old hacks they replace. Every technique you still Google has a clean, native replacement now. There are really useful new CSS features that I’m embarrassed to say I knew nothing about.

In the web design sense, "breadcrumbs" are the navigation helpers on many websites that show you where you are in the site — a path from where you currently are, back up the folder/URL structure, to the homepage. The terminology comes...

Having a proud dad moment. On Friday, our eldest son broke his college’s mile record, and later that day ran the 10th best time in school history in the 800m.
So I was browsing X when several posts about the hashtag “#keep4o” started molesting my timeline. And then one popped up. It was someone who was telling people that they have a community as a support circle for 4o users. This server will...
WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO SING THIS SONG SO THAT FUTURE GENERATIONS KNOW WHAT WE MEAN AND WHY WE MEAN IT
Good afternoon!? Yeah, afternoon. There is late, and then there is really late. Oh well, I'll blame the fact that the weather is ridiculously nice today. Or that yesterday was Valentine's Day. Or that Tyler had a birthday this week. Or...
Rivi is lying on the dog bed in the sun room, a pillow under her head, leaning against the glass window. Even though it’s winter and in the low twenties outside, the skies are clear and true to form, the thermostat in the sun room reads...
I have pretty consistently used TickTick for years now. It’s really good. But no one talks about it! It’s a thing, right? You either try all the todo apps and change every few months. Or, if you are a developer, you write your own. But I...
