seven

there’s a gnawing, familiar feeling bubbling inside of me. when the weather changes,–I feel like a bunny rabbit in a somewhat frenzy. unable to sleep, just sort of stirring around. for almost 7-ish days, what feels like a life-time, every year–like clockwork, it rains non-stop without letting up. A gift and curse it isto sense […]

How the Artemis blog works

Artemis has a blog that lists posts I have written about building the software. When I designed the blog, I decided that I wanted to publish posts about Artemis on my own website and then create a list of links to those posts on a dedicated blog page associated with Artemis....

The joy of

Every so often I take notes of things that brought me joy. I write them in my digital notebook in the form "the joy of {thing}". This phrasing lets me encapsulate a feeling and a moment in a sentence. Sometimes I'll go on to write more, other times something like the joy of ...

How I find links

This is my (late) contribution to the January 2026 Grizzly Gazette Carnival on the topic “How I ___”, where contributors are invited to fill in the blank. I saw the Carnival a few days ago and, after some thinking, the idea “How I find links” came to mind. Whenever I am on ...

Flowers; snow

There were only one or two other patrons seated with a warm drink on this cool morning. For the first time in a few weeks, I got my favourite table. I’m not sure why it is my favourite, but it is the one I gravitated toward when the place opened. When I looked out the wind...

🎬 The Revenant

Movie poster for “The Revenant”.

Saw this for its 10th anniversary at the Metropol. What a treat! Thoroughly enjoyed this one, letting me absorb into its story, atmosphere and grandiose landscapes. It’s like you’re right there with the protagonists (as far as you can from the comfort of one’s cinema seat). There are so many intense scenes and they’re so masterfully captured and choreographed. Leo and Tommy Hardy are so good (but I was very thankful for subtitles, because I would’ve otherwise been lost with the latter’s accent and mumbling). A must-see!

👍 Recommended!

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...

🎬 Frankie Freako

Movie poster for “Frankie Freako”.

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!
