Six talks later
The other week I think I retired the talk I’ve been giving about blogging and ended a one year journey. The process began at Global Diversity CFP day in January 2018. I’ve had the opportunity to contribute to their blog about my experience but it took me a while until I gave...

This month went by really quickly! It must have been the two bank holidays. And it was a busy month: I did three talks, helped organise a meet-up, attended some meet-ups too, work as usual and life! But I will explore this on another post sometime in the future. For now, thi...

A month ago today I added another photo to this collection 😊💃🏻 always leaving inspired from @vesalaofficial shows ✨
I finally learned how to RSVP using webmentions
Sometimes I feel like I am the only one struggling with how to put together all the pieces of the IndieWeb. I think I understand them all isolated but I struggle have vision with how they all connect. I think it is related to the way I learn which may be different from the m...
April bookmarks
April was an interesting month. This year hasn't been great for me because, for the first time, I really can't control my anxiety. Everything I can't control have been draining me in a way that I never experienced before. Those close to me know I've been struggling a lot dai...
Last week I went to Gem Spa for the magnets and left with an egg cream! Thanks @besteggcream
Mood, doing, thinking, listening
Hands up if you were into MySpace and personal blogs in the mid early 2000s! Well, I was. I was that low-cost emo kid in school that would use HTML and CSS to change their MySpace page (and that hobby is now paying bills so no complaining).
When I read the recent news that ...
Holding on to everything because I was actually terrified 😂
March bookmarks
This “bookmarking” format doesn’t seem to be working for me because of the way I am doing this. It also seems that I am bookmarking more and more things and I leave all the bookmarks to the last days of the month. I feel like I don’t have enough time to give them proper trea...
It's everyone's job
A while back someone I know that has a role in a product team (so, not a developer) showed me their brand new feature. Because I had just been working on a similar feature I decided to see how they were doing the keyboard navigation of that feature (because I wanted to learn...
Big mood. Taken today at the march.

February bookmarks
February was a complete write-off for me. It wasn't a good month but to my surprise I bookmarked a lot of things in the first two weeks of it. I also created an account in TikTok as if I don't waste enough time already looking at memes.

My only note about the B word
I feel nothing but anxiety at the moment. I have little energy to describe what I am feeling and explaining why everything is bad regarding Brexit. But I have one note that has been bothering me. Whenever I tell people that I am worried about Brexit, the response is usually:...

Maybe these "bookmarks posts" will a monthly thing. I realised my life isn't that eventfull in terms of bookmarking.

Bookmarks of 2018
A while back Twitter stopped allowing users to access all their likes unless they paid for it. This means that I have officially lost access to things I liked. Before they released their bookmark feature, I was using the "likes" feature as a bookmark to read later. I know it...
Colours of 2018
In one of my trips to Helsinki in 2017, I visited Design Museo and in it there was an exhibition of the work of Margrethe Odgaard which investigated colours and patterns. It included a colour diary of various locations where colour combinations found in many places were capt...
Overthinking my blog
In 2018 I began to participate a lot in the IndieWeb community and that gave me a lot of confidence to work on my blog. I told myself sometime last December: "I'm going to make sure that over this Christmas break I do x, y and z so that my blog has more IndieWeb stuff.".
We...
The end of 2018
This may be the first time that I am writing a year review before the year actually ends so it is a good sign. Also, It’s really hard to create blog post titles so I decided to go dramatic.
I had a couple of goals for this year. I wanted to work on my wellbeing, do a talk at...
