Saturday morning reading
My warm breath steams up my glasses a little bit. I have my cold pillow resting on my chin. I’m still under the covers. I started my morning with a book, Hot Chocolate on Thursday, a cosy tale that took me to Japan and Sydney all without my leaving my bedroom. I love reading...

After the very positive surprise of Psycho Goreman, this is the second movie from the same director. Unfortunately, this is not even close to the quality of PG. The humour is lame and just silly (well, yes, some things were indeed pretty funny, but that was an exception), the characters are not as likeable and the puppets are not that great either. I’d rather watch PG again!

Hooded crows are common round here and very entertaining. I took to offering them bits of old cheese, apple cores and the like, eventually settling on peanuts in their shell because they are inexpensive and handy. If the birds are hanging around, they come as soon as they se...

More examples of graduating between mediums of communication

Daring Fireball: Deal With It
I’m annoyed every single time I enter a date in iCal; I actually enjoy entering them in Backpack. It’s as palpable as the difference between going uphill and downhill.
Yes, I first noted this 19 years ago. Yes, it is still true. No, I will not vibe code a solution.
This game was pretty fun. Looks nice and music is nice Ynglet
