Days without turning off site blockers: 20 Today I spent 30 minutes doing interpretive dances to ringtones and alarms with my sister.

I unexpectedly got a new phone yesterday, a Google Pixel 10. No, I didn't install Graphene OS on it, or any OS. I can't -- it's contracted. I'm de-Googling the best I can by turning off all the slop and bloatware and using FOSS apps. The dogmatic discussions around de-Googling are intriguing. In the community, there...

Days without turning off site blockers: 19 Two more days until it's over. On one hand, it feels like a lifetime ago. On the other, I feel as though I'm just starting to get the hang of things.

Days without turning off site blockers: 18 Only a few more days left until my detox is over! I've learned a lot about myself, so I'll be doing a mini 'report' at the end.

Also, I can't stop thinking about Jacob Geller's most recent video, The Future is a Blank Room; specifically when he talks about Ray Bradbury's The Veldt. “I don’t want to do anything but look and listen and...

A lot of people hate when this happens, but it's always been surprisingly pleasant for me. I was going out for lunch with a friend, and I happened to run into someone I knew from high school & elementary school. He looks so different now, I didn't even recognize him. I had no idea we even went to the same uni, let...

Days without turning off site blockers: 12 I finally cleaned up all the collatoral damage produced when I was sick (laundry) and other household stuff I neglected. Even applied for some jobs. Still learning how to "do nothing" (aka relax). I find myself craving time to do nothing the longer I'm away from screens. I...
