Iām a Big Fan of Craft Butā¦
As you probably know, Iām a big fan of Craft. This application is really at the center of everything I do online, as thoroughly documented in my blogger workflow. That being said, I always keep an eye open for competing services, thanks to my Twitter list āApps & Servicesā. Notion is one of them. Before Craft, there was Notion, which I loved too. But it felt too complicated or overkill for my needs. Continue reading ā

Exploring the World of DJing
I always liked electronic music, but Iām not a musician. In recent moths, Iāve been exploring the world of DJing. Itās a way for me to feel that I can do music without deep knowledge of musical theory. Itās a fascinating world. Last year I bought a Pioneer DDJ-400 controller for use with my Mac mini. There is two major roadblocks in my experience so far: finding good quality tracks to mix and selecting the best DJ app. Continue reading ā

Working from home since March 2020. Over the months, I made quite a few tweaks to my home office. I’m so much more at ease at home than at the office with a desk, a chair, a lamp, and devices that I chose, instead of being imposed on me.

Surprise Me!
The Surprise Me! plugin for Micro.blog is undoubtedly a lot of fun to play with. It will pick a random post from this blog out of 1578 posts published since 2018. It’s a fun way to resurface old yet still relevant content. Try it! I wonder how many hours of my life were used to write and publish all that stuff? Continue reading ā

On NFTs: What Am I Missing?
First, consider this announcement from Samsung: āIn 2022, Samsung is introducing the worldās first TV screen-based NFT explorer and marketplace aggregator, a groundbreaking platform that lets you browse, purchase, and display your favorite art ā all in one place.ā What? Why is there so much talk around NFTs these days? What problems do they solve? What am I missing? This short Twitter thread makes me think that Iām not missing a lot, and that I should probably move on. Continue reading ā

He says "Hi!"
For no apparent reason, I started a photo series of this little guy in all sorts of visual contexts. I’m using an album to store them all. I’m currently at 23 photos of him. He’s so cute, isn’t he? I got my inspiration from someone here on Micro.blog who did the same in recent months. I can’t remember who, though. So who knows where this is headed. It’s the time of the year for frivolous projects. Continue reading ā

Completed The Servant Season 2 - At Long Last!
Finally was able to finish season 2 of The Servant on Apple TV+ yesterday, just in time for the third season. What a weird story. The only occasion I can spend time watching TV series is during the holidays. Using AirPods Max for the listening experience is pure magic; nobody in the living gets distracted by the TV, and the sound quality is impressive. Now, I should finish For All Mankind Season 2.

A Message for Christmas
To all of you, even though I donāt know you personally, since I spend quite some time here all year long reading your posts, I kind of feel familiarity. Itās like being part of a small community.

Phasing Out My Vimeo Account
Well, Iām not a video guy. I prefer photography. My experience with Vimeo is coming to an end. I wonāt renew my subscription. Iāll keep my account but returning to the free tier will remove many of my previously published content. This prompts me to remove some content from my main blog too. Deleting content is something that I donāt like to do. Itās like putting hard work, countless hours of work down the drain. Continue reading ā

RTFM (Read The Fuckin Manual They Say!)
When I got my first AirTags, I was anxious to get this wallet from this KickStarter project: āSnapback Slim Air - A Wallet for AirTagsā. This is my Snapback Slim Air. With the AirTag inserted. Can you see the problem? The AirTag hardly stays in place and has the tendency to pop out of its place. Not great at all. I always found the fitting to be so so. Then, today I got an email from KickStarter with the following promotional photo. Continue reading ā

Revisiting My Craft Content Organization
Even though Iām using Ulysses for most of my writings, after reading the āA Complete Ulysses Writing Workflowā, it gave me the idea of revisiting the way I organize my content in Craft. As shown in the previous screenshot, my content is now organized following a similar flow often seen on Kansan boards. As you might expect, everything start in the Inbox folder then eventually get āpromotedā to the next folder, according to the contentās maturity. Continue reading ā

Comparing Notion and Craft running on an M1 MacBook Air. Notion takes 382 MB of RAM while Craft uses less than half of this. Both are native, but Notion is based on Electron. Well, Craft is based on Catalyst, it’s not pure AppKit. Yet…

Google, Are You Kidding Me?
Google, recently on Twitter, announcing their adoption of Appleās UIKit design language instead of using their Material design: āDoes a switch really need to be built custom in alignment with a generic design system? Or might it be sufficient to simply use the system solution and move on?ā I donāt buy Googleās explanation. Google is trying to say that UIKit wasnāt good enough for them, so they went their own way.

E-Bikes: #VanmoofV ā What Is Going on Here?
Today, Vanmoof announced their latest e-bike, the Vanmoof V model. The announcement video, reminiscent of Appleās product reveals, is light on details. The singular design, in white, is both intriguing and looks heavy on the look. Some specs are impressive, on paper. But, there is something absolutely troubling: the V model is going to ship near the end of 2022. Yep, in more than a year. What is going on here? Continue reading ā
