You know this scenario: The printer says that ink is empty and then you take out the ink and there's still plenty in there. A while ago I started keeping the old cartridges, in case there's something I could use them for later.

One idea was to use the old printer ink as a pad for a stamp of my logo. So when I met my friend who once made a linocut print of a bat that looked soo sick I asked her where to get stuff like that because I never did that before (except I think at school when I was 14) and she even bought me these 17€ tools because I was too stingy.

Dear Dead,
your website is not good enough, in fact, it is actively bad.
Don't you know that you need Search Engine Optimization?
What are you, some kind of idiot?
Your site is currently ranked on page 1,000,000 of Google,
and if we know anything (in fact, we know everything),
this means that you are wasting not only your time,
but much more importantly
money.

Last night I went to bed thinking "what if I made business cards for my website". So I spent much of today designing them and cutting them out badly.

My printer is actually a bit messed up right now so the black isn't black so much as weird Cyan. But I like the cheap(?) vibe it gives the cards because it fits with what I kind of imagined for my site redesign, as I described it in a post from a few days ago. I printed them in black (blue-ish) and white and then highlighted each one. I actually used multiple colors to highlight them differently.

I put the paper in the wrong way, the paper has this sort of pattern on one side and now the text's on there and it's a little harder to read.

A while ago I read a poem that made me reevaluate how I think about the past; or how we in general tend to approach the past as primarily a resource from which we can draw comfort and knowledge. I'll just show you the poem and tell you what I mean, maybe it's a bit strange. ...

Reply to this months IndieWeb carnival hosted by Marisabel on Colors Color—it's more than just the word that I mostly end up spelling in the evil American spelling rather than the proper British spelling that I learned at school. It's a very interesting topic, especially b...

As preparation for the practical exams, our last task at school was a project over which we had almost complete control. The only thing that was set was a brand name and general values, as well as the product they make. That product was beer.

Entry for Aromantics Create Pride 2025

In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said, “Is it good, friend?”
“It is bitter—bitter,” he answered;

“But I like it
“Because it is bitter,
“And because it is my heart.”
From: The Black Riders and Other Lines by Stephen Crane, 1895

Hey all! For this month's IndieWeb Movie Club I encourage people to (re-)watch 1964's Mary Poppins! Especially for those of you with kids this might be a great movie to watch together. Despite being 61 years old I think it holds up very well.
