Announcing a New Blog Design

Finally, after so many years on Micro.blog, I’m excited to announce that this blog is now using my custom-built visual theme, built entirely with Claude AI, Claude Code, and a lot of my spare time. Bye-bye third-party visual plugin1! This marks a major milestone for me, as I have always wanted to have my own design for this blog2.

  1. I was using the excellent Cards Theme. ↩︎

  2. I’m still working out some issues that I didn’t have on my test blog before, but only occur on my production site. ↩︎

This year is an iPhone upgrade year for me; coming from a still-powerful iPhone 15 Pro Max. First time since my current iPhone still feels snappy for 99% of my use. Yet, I’ll move ahead with the upgrade because one of my expectations I have is that the new Siri will be more demanding.

It’s been a long time since I watched a rocket launch live from NASA. It was a great one 🚀. I didn’t know that two of the main engines are coming from previous space shuttles!! 😳

I officially lost my Apple Pencil Pro. This 200 CAN$ doesn’t support Find My??? WTF. This is the second time I’m losing an Apple Pencil. The first time was the original one.

Started working on my next YouTube video. I consider myself not very good at this. It takes way too much of my time to create a single one, but I sometimes want to share things I otherwise couldn’t in written blog posts. One of the things I should do for each video is write a script. I don’t. I never did. I’m a “go with the flow” type of guy when I record. I don’t feel at ease when reading something in front of the camera (and I don’t have the right desk setup for that).

It’s rather impressive how slowly things are turning for the worse in the Middle East. It won’t end well. And it will last much longer than originally claimed. I hope this will be all the nails required for his coffin.

What is happening in Singapore? I get major spikes in visitors from this country from time to time. Both Plausible and Tinylytics are reporting the same behaviour. 🤔
