Let me know if you’re interested in beta testing. @JohnPhilpin, maybe? 😉
Last weekend, Sanna and I constantly gravitated towards the neighbor’s garden because… puppies! 🐶 🥺
Saturday is market day. Today’s haul. 😋
It’s Friday, close to tapas, and I just emptied my feed reader.
I just packed this cutie and will soon mail it to the next owner. That marks 20 packages sent in the last month. And there’s still stuff left! 😅 Check out my online yard sale if you haven’t already.
Monday morning tidbits.
I just emptied my RSS reader and learned three things.
Bedtime!
Last week we trekked up the hill Stenshuvud (Sten’s head). According to local folklore, the hill got its name from a giant living in a cave nearby.
A huge green beast roams the land not too far from my place. 🦖
I moved my desk to face the window instead of a white wall. And… it’s nice! I can get used to this. And yes, a plant in this photo needs watering. 😅
What a day! After 20 years as girlfriend and boyfriend, Sanna and I got hitched. 🥰
I’ve really mastered the art of setting timers. 😅 Pretty much forced to, when electricity prices vary like this during the day:
Should I start the washing machine or charge the car at the wrong hour, I will pay 15 times as much compared to being smart about it. 😱
To answer my own question, having a yard sale on a blog is totally doable. Yesterday I made my first sale! A pair of Bang & Olufsen headphones will soon arrive at a new home. 🎉
The Hackers on Planet Earth conference was held again back in July. Unfortunately, I missed it, but videos are up on YouTube now. 🙌
Is an online yard sale on a blog doable? Let’s find out! I have 26 things for sale: MacBook Air, Commodore 64, AirPods, e-readers (Kindle, etc.), RØDE Podcaster, iPod Shuffle, PS5 controller, and more.
I ship worldwide, but it’s probably easiest if you’re in the EU. 🇪🇺
Today we took a short stroll to Västra torget – Jönköping’s market square. Every Saturday, it’s crammed with stalls, goods, and people. Lots of people. Flowers, berries, and mushrooms ended up in our bag.
Turns out our neighbors enjoy reading. A lot! Especially romance and nordic noir. What have you read this summer?
In case you missed it, here’s how we built our own little library. 📚
Congratulations, @manton, I saw your book made it to the front page of the orange website today.
I just had a fascinating conversation with Stan S. Stanman over at returntomonkeyisland.com. 🥰
We did it! Sanna and I built our own little library. Okay, we hacked a toolshed into a library. 😅 But anyway, now it stands there in all its glory. Looking out over the lake, ready to be explored by any booklover who happens to pass by. 📚
I’ve had a lot of fun the last week exploring Robin Sloan’s cozy new (proposed) internet protocol, Spring ‘83. So many cool things are happening: poetry, link sharing, bots. And, lots and lots of experiments. Early web vibes!
It’s lunchtime, and I just emptied my feed reader.
Just emptied my feed reader, and now I know three things:
Andy is on a five-month journey, hiking along the Appalachian Trail. And blogging about it on his glorious pixel art website. A Trail Tale is a must-see. 🌲
