I wasn’t happy with my dandelion-utilitarian.com theme, so I decided to streamline it. I went with the most basic theme I could find, and I’m much happier now… for now.
Edgar Allan Poe in 2025.
Product idea. Breathable soup… oxsoupgen
I saw a comment earlier which said only AI uses em dashes, and this is a great way to spot AI generated text. Not true. Writers also use them. Don’t assume well written text is AI. That’s insulting.
Sometimes I think about iCarley for no reason.
Been working hard to eat properly for the last few weeks. I have nailed it according to my nutrition app. Though I have been craving pizza. It’s my birthday in the middle of June. Going to so so much that day. ☺️
My Casio had a big scratch right down the middle, and it was really bothering me. So, I “““accidentally”””" ended up buying an Apple Watch — the 46mm Series 10. It’s the nicest watch I’ve ever owned, and I’m genuinely pleased with it.
Life in Sips: A Memoir in Beverages
The delineating factor in the chapters of my life has often been tangentially linked to my beverages of choice.
On my first day of college—many, many years ago (1996, if you want to get personal)—I was a nerdy kid with very few skills, deeply self-conscious, and in deep denial about basically my entire personality. I had no idea what was cool, no social skills to speak of, and my main concern was not looking like an idiot. Pretty normal for a sixteen-year-old in the nineties.
I stood in line at the college canteen—a larger-than-expected room, filled with students who all looked more interesting and more at home than I felt.
The person in front of me (whose name I sadly can’t remember) was a long-haired guitar player who wore a lot of denim and talked fast. He was on the same IT course as me. His reason for enrolling? “Because computers are more interesting than music class."
Nameless Cool Kid ordered a bacon sandwich and a black coffee.
@DandelionUtilitarian I know it has a taste, but it depends what’s burning. If you’ve ever been followed by the smoke when sitting around a barbeque (braai) you know what fire tastes like… Distinctly of carbon and aromatic esters.
Be honest—have you ever wondered if fire has a taste? Not just heat, but an actual flavour? (Not saying eat fire, just a thought, not advice!)
Sherlock holmes. But creepy like. #art
My good friend Ozone interviewed an interesting person, for a Fediverse exclusive. You should watch it. video.firesidefedi.live/w/huevh4L…
Companies making staff change passwords every six weeks seems like encouraging them to write them down. Don’t understand the practice at all tbh. Seems like their practices discourage the purpose
Procreate keyboard shortcuts are rubbish! - Makes my Key dial (k20) pretty useless
Sometimes 80s kids TV just pops right back into your head doesn’t it… #art
I’ve been in a quiet, detached season of late—not sad, just distant from some aspects of my life. I feel like I’m finally coming out of it, but leaving this desert demands action.
Sometimes, I randomly think about how much I loved the 80s He-man cartoon and get warm and fuzzy inside.
Dragon surf. #art ?
Castle… bit silly, enjoyed making it. I was seeing how I got along with Fresco for reals. Mixed feelings. #art
Today another fine warrior has been lost in the name of #art (I’m burning through tips fast enough that it’s getting expensive, knockoff tips are cheaper, at least)
