A moment with blue and orange

I was down in Sesto a few days ago for Apparat’s concert. The new album is great, attending the event with family and a few friends was a very enjoyable experience, and the atmosphere was very blue!

That orange iPhone was quite something!

The AI Compass

This morning Mr Overkill sent me the link to the AI Compass test, which I guess is a spin on the famous political compass test. It’s a bunch of questions—27? 29? 15? Who knows!—and at the end you get your location on the map and your archetype, from a list of 30. It’s harmless fun, and I found the results so far to be fairly accurate. If you end up taking the quiz, let me know if your result was accurate. Or even better, blog about it!

Books: January to June, 2026

I stopped tracking books using apps or services, even though there are good ones out there. I have two little shelves in my bedroom, on the left I put books I want to read, on the right the ones I have read. The plan was to empty the one on the right halfway through the year...

On ends

I’m sitting on a rock, in the middle of a forest. On my right, not even 30cm away from me, a dog panting like crazy, because even though it’s almost 8pm, it’s still way too warm for his liking. To be fair, anything above freezing probably fits that description. Behind me, th...

IndieWeb Book Club: July 2026

I’m hosting July’s IWBC and the timing is perfect since I split my reading year into to halves, which means I’m starting with an empty shelf in July. The book I picked is “To Have or to Be” by Erich Fromm.

I read this book now more than 20 years ago, and I remember having a great impact on young me. And so I started wondering what current me would think of it. And the IWBC is a good excuse to pick it up a second time.

If you decide to read it and post a review on your blog, make sure to send me a link and I'll be more than happy to link it here on the blog.

Decoupling from the web

I spent a lot of time recently reflecting on the things that make me happy and unhappy. And one thing that has emerged from all this meandering inside the inner workings of my brain is that the web is making me unhappy. The web, as a whole, is a big place and as Bo said «Any...

Fitness Challenge: Update One

A week or so ago, I posted about my currently ongoing fitness challenge where the goal was to go down from the almost 90kg I was weighing to below the oldest measurement I had on record, which was an 85.3kg. Side note: that’s the oldest but not the lowest, because I do have...

21 down, 23 more to go

It’s 11.35am, 27°, clear sky with only a few tiny little clouds here and there. I’m standing at the same parking spot where I ended the previous walk, and I’m about to tackle segment number 5 of this 10-part loop. Contrary to what I did up until this point, this time I’m go...

Fitness challenge underway

A few weeks ago, I was at my brother’s place, watching NBA, and amongst other things, I was teasing him about the fact that he’s putting up weight. Which is just a fact. But he’s also in his 40s, so that’s understandable. He pointed out that I’m also gaining weight (but I’m ...

AI blog question challenge

I feel your pain Sara

I stumbled on this piece of code recently that made me laugh, cry, sigh in despair, and think of poor Sara doing her best to make the web a better place.

<div class="action-button button of-h mh-effect"
onclick=" window.open('https://mail.google.com/mail/?view=cm&amp;fs=1&amp;to=redacted@email.com','_blank',)">

I guess people have forgot that mailto: is a thing that exists.

On people writing about their use of AI

I find the trend of people posting about the way they use generative AI to be fascinating at an anthropological level. I do not remember the last time a piece of technology pushed so many different people into writing about the way they use it, or not use it, or abuse it, or...

A phone battery experiment

I’ve done all sorts of experiments over the years when it comes to my phone usage. From cutting down my screen time as low as possible, to not using the phone at all, to running it in black-and-white mode, and many others. But this morning I woke up, unplugged my phone from ...

Accepting tradeoffs

I live in a very quiet place. There are 30 or so people here, only one road that sees very little traffic, and woods all around us. I wake up with birds chirping, and most of the day, that’s all I can hear around me. At the same time, public transport is pretty much non-exis...

A moment with a silly creature

It’s so funny how much a creature like this silly dog can change someone’s life. He certainly change mine, for better or for worse, and he also changed me in the process. But physically and spiritually.
