Out of curiosity, yesterday I asked ChatGPT what the latest firmware release was for my Nikon Z f camera: 3.0 (it was at 1.21)! I applied the 110 mb binary update right on time for my upcoming trip. Yes, I know, my camera needs a little cleanup, too.

Another update to my blog: the blog post categories are no longer listed on the main page header. Categories are shown on each blog post. I think that’s enough. Categories are available in the Archive page. This makes the home page less busy.

My Microblog Poster web front end now supports Markdown files, drag-and-drop, and preview mode, all in a simple (but less simple than initially built) web interface! 😅

My updated profile description for 2026:
“I’m a compulsive creator and contributor, a digital nomad, a light painter. Aspiring peace supremacist and democracy propagandist. Proud member of the Secret Internet Curators (SIC) brigade.”

I made my first Vercel app: a simple form for posting to Scribbles.page. Super lean, super clean. I do have coding experience, but not with Next.js. Claude AI helped me out. Here is the final form. Next up: same thing but for Micro.blog. This time, the title field, the categories will be shown by default! 😅

Anyone from my dear followers reading my newsletter (the ephemeral scrapbook)? Thoughts? 🙏🏻

I forced my wife to update her iPhone 16 Pro to iOS 26.1. She will probably kill me today. It was nice to meet you guys. 🫢

I always feel like I’m losing the time-saving benefits if I spend time improving an automation (an Apple Shortcut, for example). 🤦🏻♂️

Feeling a little bit frustrated this morning: discovered a rather significant scratch on my Apple Watch screen. 🤦🏻♂️😒 Now all my portable devices have a scratch on the screen: my iPhone 15 Pro Max and my M4 iPad Pro. It’s the time since I own Apple devices that this happens. Never had a single scratch before! Fuck. 😢😟😩😢

Paperlike 3 take 2
I ordered the wrong Paperlike for my iPad Pro, gave it to my wife, bought the right one, and noticed the new version installs better and feels smoother. Continue reading →

Earlier today, I recorded this update about Micro.blog. At one point, I wanted to show blog post summary in action. Everything was going according to the plan except that, after publishing the blog post, the summary didn’t go through. 😔 I had to cut that from the finished video. 🤷🏻♂️ I don’t know if this was a one-time event of if it’s something I did wrong… who knows.

Working on the next edition of “What’s Up With Micro.blog”. The last one was done a year ago. Not only are there so many new and updated things in Micro.blog, but my workflow for going back and analyzing the changelog is so much different and more efficient. I hope to get it done by the end of this weekend!

Watched episode #1 of Pluribus yesterday. I wasn’t expecting this at all. I don’t know what to think. Maybe episode #2 will help me settle on it.

I’ve been making those videos about Micro.blog and wish I could post them here too, not just on YouTube. Sadly, many of them are over 20 min long… which doesn’t fit the MB Studio limits… can we work something out, @manton?

What the US “leadership” is doing to Ukraine is beyond cruel. All this bloodshed for that? What if Mexico invaded the US and people were forced to speak Spanish after a three-year war? How about that?

Is this a new tactic by Amazon: clicking on reviews count to take a look at reviews to discover that not all reviews apply to the currently selected product? 😳😒
