Personal — Numeric Citizen Blog

Touch down. I’m back from Las Vegas! What a ride. What a city! I’m not loving everything about this place for sure. 😐

Some Must-Needed Changes to My (Too Many) About Pages

Today, I’m removing my digital garden content. The most valuable parts were moved to my About Page, and the rest has been dropped. Both of these pages are created and maintained in Craft. I like the idea of Digital Gardens, but it’s not practical for me to maintain on top of this blog and my other websites. Again, it’s time to focus.

Next up, should I get rid of my Linktr.ee page?¹,² 🤔 And, why does my Micro.blog about page is empty? 🤨

I know what you think. I have probably way too many websites. And I would respond: yeah, you are right. ↩︎
Linktr.ee offers great design tools and useful analytics. I’m not ready to drop those. ↩︎

I’m going to the office by bike today. 🚴🏻‍♂️ With this splendid weather¹, probably the last such beautiful and warm day of this fall, I’m really looking forward to this half-hour ride downtown Montreal.

We’ve been in a very long streak of warm and sunny weather, something like 10 days of sunshine. ↩︎

Since 9/11 in 2001, I look up every time I hear a plane in the sky. Every single time. And I’m Canadian. 😔 ¹

And I have the profound feeling that we didn’t learn anything about these events. ↩︎

Early mornings are my favourite creative moments… everyone is asleep, and it is super quiet in the house. 😊👨🏻‍💻

Fifty-six. 56. Already. 🧁

September

This is my favourite month of the year¹. It’s my birthday month². The weather is generally absolutely amazing³. Gone are muggy and hazy days; the air is crystal clear. It’s a transition month. It is a colourful month. It’s an Apple keynote month! I am looking forward to this long week-end with my family. Expect a few images, too. An happy guy! 😃

It dates back to my childhood where it September marked the return to school. ↩︎
Born on the 4th. ↩︎
Weather forecasts for the upcoming days are just brilliant with sunshine and a bit hotter-than-usual temperatures. ↩︎

Working at the office today. Summer vacations are still ongoing hence so few people here. It’s always a reminder of the covid pandemic. This place used to be much more lively. Everything still feels different. 😒 We will never get back to pre-2020 world.

It’s funny and cool how I’m slowly but surely rebuilding my social graph with people who fled X to Mastodon and Pixelfed. I feel at home again.

Thought of the day: sometimes, what you decide not to do is as important as what you decide to do! For bloggers and writers, for me at least, writing is fundamental to my existence, publishing and sharing, a lot less. I have many unfinished pieces that probably will never be shared with the world. And that is ok.
