Things I used to get excited about:
Food, travel, concerts, going to the beach, buying gadgets, going to the movies, getting a new record, getting a new book.
Things I get excited about now:
None.
And, stupidly, I just realized, despite my diagnostic, that this is not my entire personality, that I'm really being affected by this thing that makes everything dull. It's like having a low-contrast black and white filter on life.
I'm fine, though. I'm not doing bad. I'm just doing boring.
Living with persistent depressive disorder sucks. You're functional, you wake up, shower, work, do social things, you have a productive life. But you're never excited about anything, ever.
Even the depression is mild.
Not a cry for help, mind you, just a note for myself.

For a few months now, I've had these words on my about page:
My goal for this year is to fully embrace discomfort
Today I want to talk about my journey with this.

I've never put together my thoughts about t-shirts until this afternoon, after reading this post by EAPL.
I spent a few days in Farmington, UT

I subscribed to omg.lol today, mainly motivated for the mas.to downtime on Oct 1. I wish I did it before! it's full of cool and useful things, many of them unexpected for me (like a full-fledged git service, for instance).
This is not the goal of this post, but if you're thinking of signing up, here's my referral link. :)
A printable calendar that fits in a single page!

This is so cool and useful, now I want to make my own version.

I love traveling. For pleasure, work, it doesnt matter. But 24 hours before departing I get a bad anxiety peak that ends when I'm sitting in the plane.
Every single time.

There's a quote I saw somewhere on the internet around 2012 and I used to repeat to myself whenever I was preparing to give a talk at a university.
I can't remember who said it, or even the exact wording. I've searched for it more times that I care to admit, but it either disappeared from the internet, or my Google-fu (is that an anachronism already?) is rusty.
The cool thing about getting a new iPhone is The smoothness of the experience. Unless you're new to iOS, everything is always exactly the same.
The thing that sucks is also that it's always exactly the same.
You get a brand new iPhone, set it up, and five minutes later you've somehow had it for six years.

I spent a few days (couple hours a day) vibecoding a mac app for my personal archive notes and my work notes.
Turns out I was vibecoding a shitty version of Obsidian.
Lesson learned, again 😬

Watched Tony last night. I've always been inspired by Anthony Bourdain, but now I feel like I'm going fully into the rabbit hole of rewatching No Reservations, Parts Unknown, etcétera.
My partner is just learning about the guy. I already have Roadrunner ready for her, and I'm so excited.
Don't you love the recommendation high when somebody you appreciate doesn't know something you deeply care about? I'm riding that high right now.

This post is part of a series about my invisible tools: the hardware and software I use so much that I don't have to think about using them.
During 2024 and 2025, I traveled a lot, and I decided to work only on my laptop, with no peripherals, whether I was at home or on the go. I wanted my setup to stay the same so there wasn't any warm-up time when switching.

This is the first post in a series about my invisible tools: the hardware and software I use so much that I don't have to think about using them.
I'm starting with one of the simplest: keyboard shortcuts.
Having your tools become second-nature has more effect on your productivity than getting the right tools. Once they reach that status I like to call them "invisible tools".
I've found the best way of having a tool become invisible is a combination of:
I started journaling again this weekend, after a couple of months of inactivity. I'm surprised every time by the mental clarity and peace it brings.

Impostor syndrome never goes away, it just lingers in the shadows, waiting.

Destockd is a free, searchable archive of public domain and unrestricted archival video footage. The goal is simple: make old footage easy to find and easy to use.
People posting AI slop to the internet is annoying, but not as much as people complaining non-stop about AI.
I get it, AI companies are shitty, and their reach is menacing. Anyone that knows how technology influence legislation and society can easily understand that. I'm worried about it too.
I participate in several IndieWeb and SmallWeb webrings.
If you don't know what a webring is, you're probably too young and/or too cool. Here's an explanation.
A webring to find (and be found by) other folks with IndieWeb building blocks on their sites.

People who started making websites in the late 90s/early 00s and are still here.
