After nearly abandoning the idea, because it was too complicated to choose from the many different keyboards, today I ordered this mechanical keyboard1 for two reasons: semi-retro look with the wooden sides and the sound of the typing experience. A mechanical keyboard from Keychron

Putting Something Out There

I’m about to start a recording session for my next video about Craft and the PARA method. I wonder: why am I doing this? Is it because it might help Craft users to better take advantage of the app features? Is it because I just like being in a creative process? Is it because I love working on the Mac using different apps together to put something out there? Is it all the reasons above? Or is it simply because it provides a subtle reminder of being human is being creative and putting something out there? Maybe I’m asking myself too many questions.

I’m always positively surprised to read my Bluesky replies here on Micro.blog. I mean, this is the modern and open where that we should continue to promote and defend. For me, and I wish it was the case for more people, it is priceless, but the value is not as tangible as I would like.

Starting Up… RealMac software Elements beta. I paid for it, to show support for the team. I have three websites that I want to build with this thing eventually. Stay tuned. It’s a 2025 and beyond adventure1.

Why do I have the impression that we talk too much about facts checking and not enough (far not enough) about algorithm-based timelines, reality and people manipulation through these algorithms? Who’s checking Facebook or Meta in general?

Hell On Earth - Los Angeles & Ukraine

I don’t want to offend anyone here, but what is happening right now in Los Angeles is certainly devastating. It’s really looking like hell on earth. At the same time, we can easily find the exact same hell in Ukraine and many more people are displaced or killed by a totalitarian and evil regime. It’s hard to fight climate change, but we can and must fight what Russia1 in its current form and to for what it brings to this world. Two images, two tragedies.
