Circa 2018 – I think… One of my teammates (hello, ate Dana) brought a bag of chewy cookies the size of my palm with rock salt on top of it. We ate it at 9 pm starting our shift with sugar rush as we go through the night shift, doing our...
The IndieWeb Is Punk Manifesto You don’t need a deal with a label. You don’t need a platform’s blessing. All you need is an out of tune guitar you can barely play, or a free text editor and a hosting bill. That’s it. That’s the whole...

I started a personal Bullet Journal in June 2026, so it’s been a little bit over 2 months. I read the book “The Bullet Journal Method” by Ryder Carroll and watched some online videos. This is the second time I’ve tried Bullet Journaling,...
