Okay #stockholm, we have an eventful Saturday. Today is the first day with the sun setting after 15:00 and the first day with over 2 minutes of daylight expansion since the winter solstice.

Also, it’s beautiful snow globe weather. Go for a walk now if you […]

Pre-ordered! I look forward to porting my old Fitbit OS watchfaces to Pebble OS and hopefully finishing a few designs I loved but were not possible technically to implement 7 years ago.

Do you have a personal website? Do you need a little motivation and deadline to write? Do you have an existential crisis at least once a year like I do? Then join the #indiewebcarnival this month!
For this month’s IndieWeb Carnival, I want to know your thoughts on the meaning of life.

Why? I’m about to turn 42, the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything.

I did not enjoy "One Battle After Another" at all. I do not understand its 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. I would like my 3 hours back.

What is the best app/self-guided method to learn to play piano?

My husband bought a Casio keyboard for Xmas. We want to learn to play. I took lessons for 3 years as a kid. I don’t remember much. He was an accomplished trumpet player in high school band, orchestra, and jazz quartet.

Our journey in the glorious expansion of daylight over Stockholm starts today!

The daylight gain today is modest—just 3 seconds. The expansion will accelerate to a maximum daily gain of 5 minutes 19 seconds on the spring equinox in March.

Reusable bag tags for checked bags should be an industry-wide aviation practice.

SAS is killing its reusable checked bag tag program on January 1, 2026. It only offered it to people who achieved “conscious traveler” status, which I just got in November. (I had to buy the biofuel surcharge on […]

Bowen Yang’s final sketch on SNL was so perfect. He quickly became one of my favorite cast members. Going to miss his many characters!

I wonder who will be the next openly gay man in the cast…

I was wondering why `fnm` was recommended as a way to install @nodejs instead of `volta`. Volta has been around longer, is also cross platform, is also written in Rust, and automatically uses the version specified in a project’s `package.json`.

Then I learned `volta` is now unmaintained and the […]
