Yesterday, I visited my mom at her senior living community. We drank some alcohol-free beer, talked, cried, and had a good time together. That isnβt something I take for granted. If you had asked me two months ago whether I would ever...
Today it was time again. A task at work I only do like once every three months. I always feel a bit uncomfortable doing it. Partly because it involves a lot of secrecy, but mainly because I don't do it regularly. It never becomes...
A moment ago, I deleted a post mid-draft because writing led to a personal realization, the content of which I didn't think was of particular value to ~the blogosphere~. I wonder how often this happens with other bloggers. Perhaps it was...
Needed a place to talk like we used to. I guess Angelfire is gone. I'm too old for this internet and somehow still a beginner here... Substack gives me imposter syndrome and I always feel the need to explain... I don't mind the ring...
Custom fonts are a boon for usability and they can give your blog that extra bit of oomf. But fonts can really hurt performance if you're not heavy. A single font can take up 40kb or more.1 That's not a ton in a world of 3MB SPAs, but...
I started writing a play today. It'll be around 10 minutes from lights up to lights down and will hopefully be a short, humorous, and sharp meditation on how extremely online NBA fans talk about the league, its players, its teams, its...
My apologies, but I've been missing in action for the past, well, a long time. Over the past 8 or 9 months or so, I've experienced a couple of life changing events. Life sort of went haywire and I was struggling to handle it all. First,...
I've never made a fuss about spending too much time doomscrolling. I get that it's technically an addiction, but as someone who's been through real addiction, like to things your body actually becomes dependent on, I never took it...
I worked at Tencent in a variety of roles from 2011 through 2016, when I was transferred to a Tencent subsidiary. They changed my job description about once every six months. I started as a writer for Facebook games, then became a market...
I started receiving Reddit DMs from people asking for advice about a topic I had commented on a while ago. At first, I assumed it was just one person Googling, finding an old thread, and messaging me for more information. Fair enough....
Caveat Emptor EXTREME: This is a post about ignoring the advice that is given to referees and designers about what to do. I want to tell you clever folks that yes this blog post is telling you not to listen to blog posts, but I also...
Iβve become more and more disenchanted with ebooks these days. I know, Iβve posted about this before. But bear with me because my brain has been buzzing about it lately. On the one hand, I like having a book with me wherever I go. On the...
I was reading Kyle's blog post about this new feature from Apple. Can you imagine having AI fix your leaked passwords to your accounts? Oh, nothing could ever go wrong letting AI change your password on your own important accounts like...
Last month, I made the decision to quit Spotify. This was a difficult decision for me to make, one that I mulled for a long time. I listen to a lot of music and have been using Spotify for so long, my account is older than many of my...
I've made an anonymous blog. This one is anonymous enough you may say. And you may be right. But you also may not. I've made a private blog. There's a section for this in the Bear Blog Docs. I wasn't trying to make a private blog but I...
