- The brilliant human who inspired this post surprised me with the fact that 2 Player Productions and Double Fine surprised everyone by releasing episode 33 of PsychOdyssey. What a treat! We watched it the same night.
- A Boba Fett action figure sold for $525,000, as reported by my friend Hampus.
- My brother-in-law recently ended up in a man-on-the-street interview with a local radio show. It was about how he couldn’t make a purchase due to an IT incident, but he was happy all the same because the store bribed him with free fika. Shared, of course, by my sister.
- Do you believe in ghosts? My niece Ines linked to this YouTube video of some dudes overnighting in a haunted house. The catch? It’s the house where Sanna and I took our families to celebrate our wedding. 😅 Apparently, the highest level of spectral phenomena was in the room and bed where we slept. 👻
- It’s funny how there are specific themes to the link sharing with the various people in my life. The thread between my cuz Stefan and myself is all about hardware and games. He bought a new keyboard.
- The ongoing conversation with my brother often touches on the economy and investments. He shared this breakdown of the Golden Butterfly Portfolio a while back.
- But no one sends me more links than Sanna, so it’s only fitting that her links appear twice in this list and get to round it off. Thank Goodness You’re Here!
Ture taking a siesta.

React is useful for making complex interfaces like Facebook’s or for making otherwise simple interfaces, and their underlying codebases, complex like Facebook’s.
Always a treat when Heydon posts a new video to Webbed Briefs. 🤭
The task that generative A.I. has been most successful at is lowering our expectations, both of the things we read and of ourselves when we write anything for others to read. It is a fundamentally dehumanizing technology because it treats us as less than what we are: creators and apprehenders of meaning. It reduces the amount of intention in the world.
Just saw these two updates next to each other in my feed reader. So relatable! Thanks for the chuckle, @manton. 😊

Instead of going for a swim in Vättern, we hopped on our bikes and rode over to an air-conditioned movie theater to see Alien: Romulus. A pretty good way to wrap up a warm day.
We had the pleasure of meeting my new, hairy, brother-in-law this week. Welcome to the family, Ture. 🌭 (Photo via Sanna.)
Today I learned that the Alien franchise is owned by Disney, which means that every xenomorph egg that hatches, being a daughter of the xenomorph queen, is technically a Disney princess
On our walk today, Sanna suddenly stopped in her tracks and pointed at the ground in front of her. I didn’t see them at first, but then… chanterelles! We weren’t really equipped for foraging, so we had to improvise and fill our clothes, the water bottle, and our hands with tasty mushrooms. 🤤
I’m seriously tempted to buy one of the do-it-yourself boards. 🤤
Orange FM is a modern cartridge for the Game Boy family of handhelds. You can think of it as a car stereo system in a cartridge, featuring digital tuning, presets, basic radio text support, and other fun features!
The Traversing Hyrule Trailer definitely didn’t make me any less excited about the new Zelda game. I spot a few game mechanics from Breath of the Wild in there. This is going to be so much fun! 🧝♀️
My web browser has a Shared with You section that features the most recent links sent to me by friends and family. Maybe these links tell us something about… something? Here are 7 Links Shared with Me. 👀
7 Links Shared with Me
My web browser has a Shared with You section that features the most recent links sent to me by friends and family. Sanna thought that maybe these links tell us something about… something? She wrote a blog post collecting the links recently sent to her.
I love that idea, so without further ado, here are seven links recently shared with me.
That’s it. I showed you mine, and now I look forward to finding out what was recently shared with you.
PS. The most recent link I sent away was about the Olympic silver medalist sponsored by Parmesan cheese. 🧀

Till frukostkaffet idag passade vi på skriva och skicka iväg ett nyhetsbrev med boktips. Så här börjar det:
Två nätter i rad har det bäddats ute på altanen. Vi har krupit ner under täckena, tittat på vampyrfilm och avrundat med varsin ljudbok – I Was a Teenage Slasher och Moonbound. Det har varit äkta sommarlovsmys. En fladdermus fladdrade i trädkronorna och ett rådjur skällde i skumrasket.
Fortsättningen finns på webben och om du gillar’t ska du förstås börja prenumerera. 📚
My view right now: we’re sleeping under the stars tonight. 🤩 Or at least that’s the goal. We’ll see if we make it through.

My view right now: if you squint your eyes, you might spot a sailboat traveling along Göta kanal. ⛵️
Me too! ❇️
,,,, oh I am only going to refer to it as "hittamul" from now on
I recently watched Perfect Blue, and it really tickled my soft spot for retro computers and early web surfing in anime. 💙
This is lovely. 😍 Open and Shut allows you to produce Morse code by repeatedly slamming your laptop shut. (via B3ta)
It rarely happens, but right now, I wish I lived closer to Stockholm. HTML freewriting in Vitabergsparken this Saturday sounds absolutely wonderful. ❇️
What should I bring?
Yourself, something to write HTML on, friends, and your energy
