Am continuat să ajustez T440p-ul și de fiecare dată când descopăr ceva care nu merge cum trebuie, petrec mai mult timp decât ar trebui să-l rezolv. Dar asta e și plăcerea - nu e un dispozitiv cumpărat gata configurat, e al meu în sensul...

I've finally added back skincare to my morning routine. A good facial cleanser and SPF moisturizer really does go a long way, man. My forehead feels as smooth as my brain, lemme tell ya. I have some stupid errands to run today, and...
I've been thinking about getting a #3DPrinter recently. Never used one before but I think it would be useful/interesting. I have no experience with them, and don't want to spend a tonne of money. Ease of use and quality would be my...

It was a great day for hanging out with friends and their apartment building’s rooftop grill, followed by episodes of Nathan For You and I Love LA, and a particularly competitive foosball game.On the walk to a tapas restaurant for dinner...
2026-05-31Hello!This is a hastily-written response to Absurd Pirate's article: "I'm So Tired of Ads". My response: Then Do Something About It.I definitely understand that ads are annoying. I also think that not enough people (including...
I setup a Patreon a few days ago to support other creators and to maybe monetise a few of my own posts and videos. But with the endless fucking notifications they send for EVERY-FUCKING-THING pissed me off to the point of just not...
Back in the day, there were only hunters and gatherers, and I would certainly have been in the latter group. Collecting things is satisfying. This month, I’ll be collecting links to blog posts as part of Robert’s Junited 2026 campaign on...
I’ve seen dithering everywhere for a while now, I quite like the look and have used p5.Riso.js to make a webcam effect before. Looking around, I found a client-side atkinson dithering script with an option to adjust the crunchy-ness of...
And just like that, another month has flown by. Time for my usual look back. The month started with my longest single-day bike tour ever: 136 km from Braunschweig to Gifhorn, Celle, and back. It was pretty exhausting, but that didn’t...
I have a terrible admission to make and you may never forgive me. It’s taken far too long, so please don’t be mean about this. Look, I’m already on my knees apologizing and you don’t have to make this weird, okay? But this weekend I...

Reflections on the week I managed to keep to my planned sleep schedule over the week, and my levels of mental energy increased noticeably. I’m naturally waking up earlier, which is a bit annoying – I’d rather get more sleep instead – but...

I can stare out this window for hours. I'm not even looking at anything. The stars and occasional propulsion jet are the perfect backdrop for thinking and the occasional good idea. I'm supposed to be working, but when the big ships dock,...
I’ve been really getting into the independent web lately. Instead of doomscrolling reddit, I’ve been reading through bubbles and powrss. Doing so, I run into a lot of community-building-type posts, like the Junited one by Robert...
One of my favorite annual events in oceanside is the Beach Soccer Championship. It’s a unique variation of soccer and really fun to watch. The field and teams are small, it is faster pace, you can get close to the action, there are lots...
Can you believe it’s Sunday already? It’s still nice and sunny but the weather forecast (and a look outside) tells me that this is going to be over soon. There was a lot of family this week – it would have been my grandmother’s 100th...
I don’t know why it suddenly dawned on me, but i’m not sure why i chose to build Z1NZ0L1N and Architypes with a full-fat CMS. I’d been using Pelican and Hugo for almost fifteen years by that point, so i’ll chalk it up to some sort of...

Ann Street is one of New York’s oldest streets. On a recent Saturday, this three-block stretch of the Financial District resembled a slender ghost town of turn of the century commercial buildings. But look up on the western wall of 42...

Yesterday in my first post on Bear I mentioned that it was my first public post online in over a decade, and that I haven’t used social media in that time. When I say I haven’t used social media for that long, I really mean I haven’t had...

Run git log --graph on most team projects and you’ll see the problem. Parallel lines everywhere, merge commits that just say “Merge branch ‘feature/x’ into develop”. None of it useful. It’s noise. I’ve been using a rebase-based workflow...
It’s been an interesting set of days. They does not make them good. Or even worthy of repetition. Now I find myself at this favorite little coffee shop on a Monday. Fresh from a short walk and wanting a longer. The feeling and freedom of...
