This is a list of the most recent posts on the blog, the stream of consciousness and memories.

• Deleting Things

  I've always been a hoarder. I refuse to get rid of things, and that goes both for the box of cables and old electronics down in that cabinet in my office and for the files in my Google Drive, external hard drives, on my computers and phone.

• I feel my brain dry. I call it "feeling gray". In days like this it's like I can't get any joy, and no pill is able to get me out of it.

• Memories, Again

  We'll, I've been thinking a lot about photos, as you might have noticed. A few months ago I published Memories, my photo-blog-kinda-thing, and I loved it, but as it was a separate project from this website, I ignored it most of the time.

• I updated the tags in all the blog posts. They were all over the place, and there were almost more tags than posts. They should make more sense now.

• Unlearning Social Media

  When I came back to blogging after years of being in and out of it, I did so mostly because I wanted to leave social media behind.

  Sure, some people never stopped. There are people who have been blogging for twenty-plus years while the rest of us were tweeting away. I admire, envy, and wish I were one of them.

• We saw Carlos Ballarta's new hour last night. Definitely, easily, the best stand-up comedian we have in latin america.

  The whole show is him talking as if he's gossiping, with seamless transitions between subjects and covering a range of subjects from toxic nostalgia for old media to Israel and Palestina, racism, quiting smoking and alcohol, among others.

  To reach a level where it seems that you're just talking from the top of your mind must be really difficult, but the guy does it masterfully.

  👏👏👏

  A webring to find (and be found by) other folks with IndieWeb building blocks on their sites.
