Me trying to be normal

Rainbow; moon
The kitchen was scattered with rainbows as the sun shone through the frosted glass. Maybe the glass was put there to make rainbows; what was the architect thinking when they designed this place? I saw the shadows of my head and my hair cast onto the cabinets. Can I make a sh...

I took my BirdNet-Pi on a little holiday and was delighted with the results.
Newsletters should have web feeds
Part of the motivation behind some of my top-level pages like my ideas lists is that I feel some things should have a URL. Giving something a URL gives it a place on the web. One area where I feel this could be applied more is in newsletters. I wish email newsletters had cor...
Blossom
I think I watch the two trees outside that blossom beautifully in spring with such attention because they are so close. Those trees are with me when I say “cheers” every morning before I drink a glass of orange juice; they are there when I look out to watch the sun set, and ...
i miss when you could just buy a game and have it without opening fucking steam all the time
Birds in the Countryside
We were lucky enough to spend the weekend at a medieval castle deep in the Umbrian countryside. I look my portable Birdnet-Pi along, completely forgetting that it needed to connect to the internet to set the correct time. I remembered, however, that the analyses require no c...
Waffles and coffee
Over on Bear Blog, Thereabouts posted “The greatest breakfast food in existence”. When I read the title, my face lit up. “A blog post about breakfast food!” It got me thinking about what breakfast brings me the most joy. I think the answer is waffles and coffee.
This time a...
Artemis now supports custom domains (in beta)
Last week someone who uses Artemis suggested that it would be nice to be able to use the software with a custom subdomain on their website. This feature suggestion got me thinking about the “own your links” concept in the IndieWeb. While the current version of the “own your ...
Custard creams
Behind the counter in a coffee shop I visited last week there was a whiteboard which read [1]:
Sunday debate:
Custard creams or chocolate bourbons
There were dozens of tally marks on the board and counts from a social media poll. The results were:
Custard creams: 212Bourbons: 171
I love both biscuits, so if there were a both option I would have voted as such; if I had to pick one, it would be custard creams, though. Otherwise, I might have said fig rolls, a biscuit I had for the first time in ages this week. Fig rolls may not have been an option, but they sure are tasty.
[1]: Given I saw the whiteboard on a week day, I assume the debate was going to run for a week, despite the title being "Sunday debate". In any case, any day is a good day to chat about biscuits.

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams
I picked this up because it's this month's IndieWeb Book Club pick. Wouldn't have found it otherwise, and that's exactly why book clubs matter. If you've got a place on the internet, why don't you joi...
