My job is typing. It doesn't matter if it's sentences or code. I type. A lot. I don't understand people spending the majority of their time in front of a desk and not upgrading to a nicer keyboard. There are three essentials in my eyes: a good chair, a good mouse, and a good keyboard. I understand not everyone wants to spend a couple hundred eurodollars to get something like the Mode Envoy (it is a beautiful keyboard, though).
Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind: Informal Talks on Zen Meditation and Practice
Bookshop Mode Read Status Finished Words 39,940 Reading time ~1h 40m Finished September 18, 2026 "You just sit in the midst of the problem; when you are a part of the problem, or when the problem is a part of you, there is no problem, because you are the problem itself. The problem is you yourself. If this is so, there is no problem!" So, no problem! (Reread this since I started meditating again.)
A day is short, a life is long
I turn 35 today, which feels like an age where I should probably have some things figured out. Not everything. That would be ridiculous. Don't be ridiculous. But maybe a few things. So I spent an unreasonable amount of time recently trying to figure out what I believe in. Not necessarily politically, or in the "which dead philosopher should I make my entire personality" sense (looks at his Marcus Aurelius and Buddha tattoos). More basic than that. What do I think makes a good life?

Parade - overkill.wtf
Not for me. I understand what Cusk is doing, to a degree. I struggled to stay awake through parts of it, so maybe don't read Parade while groggy on the morning train. I nearly fell asleep twice. The Diver was the only chapter that worked for me. In the rest, Cusk tried too hard. It felt pretentious, and I fucking hate books that feel pretentious. Mann and the interchangeable Gs are concepts cosplaying as characters, but not characters. It also means I couldn't give a shit about any of them.
dbrand goes mnml
From dbrand: Introducing: the minimalist phone case.™ Available for twelve devices across Apple, Samsung, and Google. Nothing fancy, just a nice sandstone texture and four colorways. Also, a magnetic wallet. And technically an AirPods case. I don't usually care much about phone cases, because I raw-dog life and have no case on my Pixel. But I use dbrand cases for all the stuff I actually want to protect (handhelds that I throw into my backpack).

Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?
Bookshop Mode Read Status Finished Words 60,582 Reading time ~2h 31m Finished September 8, 2026 I don't know what to do with this. It clearly wouldn't exist if the author had found a good therapist. Then again, it reads as if the book ended up replacing the therapy. Good prose. I just couldn't vibe with it. And one thing I hate some authors do is this romanticization of being broken. You don't need to be a mess to be a good writer, and I don't get why people keep acting like you do.
KONKR Pocket Advance review: what shape does to a handheld
What is in the shape of a thing? How much does the shape influence how the thing will be used? Especially when it is so clearly shaped like something else. Especially when it is basically a copy of a thing that came before. The KONKR Pocket Advance is clearly a more modern Game Boy Advance. It's in the name, it's in the marketing material, it's in the shape.
SteamDB joins Nexusmods
SteamDB joins Nexus Mods steamdb.info Running a service like SteamDB is not easy. I wouldn't be able to live with myself by either just letting the site run as-is and letting it wither, or completely shut it down. In January, I started looking for a worthy partner that could continue the legacy that I had built. This is where Nexus Mods comes in. And: I have full confidence the team will be able to continue improving the project for gamers, developers and publishers alike.
