It was a typical April week. I can’t remember exactly which day it was, but on one of them, we experienced sun, rain, snow, and hail, all ending with sunshine again. I started watching Fallout but didn’t have much time for it, so I could only watch the first episode. I’m definite … | Continue reading
This video about Elon Musk’s errors and failures, which are rarely discussed, is excellent. Unfortunately, there are no captions/subtitles available except in Portuguese. | Continue reading

Custom Newsletter Addresses If you’re familiar with Apple’s Hide My Email or Fastmail’s Masked Email, then it’s like that, but for your newsletters. Feedbin has a great new feature that allows users to create unlimited email addresses for newsletters. This is perfect for fighting … | Continue reading
I have four parcels coming from the US to Germany that are being held in Customs awaiting clearance. One of them has been in the state “Customs Clearance in Progress” for more than 45 days. Things used to be much faster in the past. What’s causing the delay with DHL? | Continue reading
Last weekend I mentioned Omnivore was failing to fetch YouTube transcripts. Today I had some YouTube videos to save for later and decided to check Omnivore again. It’s good to see the feature is working again. | Continue reading
This photo is from 13 years ago today in Saskatoon, CA. Things, Reeder, and Instapaper are in my iPad’s Dock. | Continue reading
Decided to cancel my ChatGPT subscription because I don’t use it for much else besides creating images for the Epic Tales Tavern and other DALL-E experiments. This means the Epic Tales Tavern is going on hiatus for a while. | Continue reading
The Drafts app integrates pretty well with the iPhone 15 Pro (Max) Action Button. That’s a big plus. | Continue reading
Trying this app called Drafts because I’m bored right now. | Continue reading
The weekend started with brunch in the Kreuzberg neighborhood of Berlin. Just the three of us—tinyScientist, scientist, and me. It was a sunny morning, so we decided to sit outside. The brunch plate for two was more than sufficient for the three of us, and we even used tinyScient … | Continue reading
Another change I implemented today is a sidebar on pages, listing all the pages in this blog. It’s a nice way to discover and browse the content of the mini digital garden. | Continue reading
Links to external websites now display a tiny icon indicating that the reader will leave the website. Why? My mini digital garden is hosted on this blog, and this allows for easy differentiation between local and external pages. This page, for instance, has links to both external … | Continue reading
📷 Cheeseburger (meat or plant-based meat); cheeseburger without meat, just cheese; egg burger; fries; fries with mayo; and a salmon cheeseburger. | Continue reading
This was a quiet week with nothing much to highlight. I went to the office on Wednesday for no particular reason. Since most of my team works in other countries, I worked “remotely” from the office, alone the entire time in a quiet room. For the rest of the week, I worked from ho … | Continue reading
I would definitely purchase a physical release of Iron Valley 🤣 | Continue reading
I found two interesting podcasts on YouTube, a feature I wasn’t aware existed on the platform. However, I can’t subscribe to them using a third-party client; I must use YouTube directly. Won’t listen to them. | Continue reading
🤖 DALL-E is the main reason I use ChatGPT. I enjoy crafting prompts to generate absurd or nonsensical images. Today, I created a Custom GPT to produce photos that resemble the aesthetics of the RPG Ironsworn, and here is one of the images I generated with it. | Continue reading
Due to my obsession interest in Index Card RPG and MÖRK BORG, I frequently find myself printing a lot. The communities surrounding these games are huge, and the volume of content they produce — including supplements like tools, adventures, and more — is massive. Printing these su … | Continue reading
I decided to use the MÖRK BORG supplement titled FERETORY to generate some monsters, and the first one I created might be the most intriguing. When I rolled the dice, I got a monster with the following characteristics: It was clearly once human. It has blood-shot eyes. It possess … | Continue reading
In Germany, we observe two Easter days: Sunday and Monday. We opted for a quiet celebration at home, connecting with our parents via FaceTime so that tinyScientist could talk to them. I watched the limited series Bodies on Netflix. Although it wasn’t groundbreaking, I found it qu … | Continue reading
Xcode: “You’re missing an argument in this methods you’re calling. Do you want me to add it there?” Me: “Sure, go ahead!” Xcode: “Argument userSession must precede argument isTunnelStatusEnabled” If you know that, why didn’t you do it right? | Continue reading
Migraine with aura — what a wonderful way to end the weekend. Fortunately, tomorrow is a holiday, giving me an extra day of rest before returning to work. | Continue reading
Today, our 18-month-old tinyScientist pointed at an image of Miley Cyrus and adorably said “Jolene.” Why? Because I was listening to this video a few days ago. | Continue reading
Since tinyScientist’s kindergarten was closed for Easter, I took the week off to stay at home with him. Meanwhile, scientist and I found some time to open our decks and play some Lorcana. It’s a pretty nice game, bearing several similarities to Magic the Gathering (as expected), … | Continue reading
📷 I got my Ironsworn book in the mail today, and my tiny friends have given it their seal of approval. | Continue reading
Otávio C. I had no intention of buying a LEGO set today. Yet, that plan quickly changed once I saw this set. Impossible to resist. Senna was not just a racing driver; he was a legend whose impact on the world of Formula 1 is immeasurable. The countless days and nights I spent wat … | Continue reading

This is pretty awesome. Omnivore is implementing YouTube transcripts and beta is already available for people on their Discord server. I’m currently using Matter, because I’m a Patron and have a subscription which lasts for years, but Matter has a limit of three transcripts per d … | Continue reading
I just backed Cairn 2E Boxed Set on Kickstarter. Good to see it funded in 1 hour! | Continue reading

I played Lorcana with scientist and she won the first game. Looking forward to playing again tomorrow. | Continue reading
Steph Ango - Obsidian’s CEO - has created a useful bookmarklet that cleans up URLs for easier sharing.

This week was hectic. I mainly worked from home, going to the office only on Friday. My Feedbin was overflowing with unread articles, but an unexpected visit to the hospital on Saturday — almost eight hours in the waiting room — took care of that. The same for most of the article … | Continue reading
I found a great printer on Saturday and bought. It’s an Epson EcoTank, which operates using ink tanks instead of traditional ink cartridges. Although the printer is pricier than standard inkjet printers, it is completely worth the investment. Ah, and it has fax… There’s a new TV … | Continue reading
I’m choosing not to jump on the Blogroll bandwagon because it resurrects certain internet-related anxieties for me. I follow a number of blogs and websites through RSS, making it impractical to highlight only a select few. | Continue reading
Apple released its Journal app just a couple of weeks before my subscription to Day One was set to expire. Opting not to renew it, I decided to give Apple’s Journal a try, thinking it might meet my needs. And perhaps it does, but its limitation to being only an iPhone app makes i … | Continue reading
Matt Birchler recently shared an insightful article titled “The Browser Company Feels Gross To Me Right Now”, in which he mentions MacStories Weekly 408 — which I can’t read because I’m not a subscriber. In his blog post, Matt describes exactly how I currently feel about Arc. I u … | Continue reading
My printer died a few weeks ago, but I needed to double-check to be certain. Now it’s confirmed: it has become a useless piece of hardware. Although the printer itself is actually fully functional, it requires both color and black ink cartridges to operate, which Canon has discon … | Continue reading
Congratulations to The Iconfactory on reaching their second stretch goal on Kickstarter. Project Tapestry has been funded with over US$175,000 pledged. This is a significant achievement! | Continue reading
