These days, it’s impossible for me to pass by stickers in the wild without thinking of @maique and his sticker spotter project. From today’s hike, the other side of the sign said, “Deadly cliff, follow the trail”.

The backside of a warning sign, filled with stickers.

Overall, we had a pleasant day hiking in Fulufjället (8.54 kilometers).

A foggy landscape with sparse pine trees and pinkish heather covering the rocky ground, creating a serene, misty atmosphere.

We also said hello to Old Tjikko, the world’s oldest known Norway Spruce (9,550 years). 

Missing its top, the looks a little bit sad and lonely against a barren landscape.

Today, we visited Njupeskär, the waterfall in Sweden with the tallest free-falling drop (70 meters).

Sanna, hands in the air, is standing right below the waterfall.

I love how blogs will still be around in the year 2321, according to the Bobiverse series. 📚

Still, a new civilization was always a great view from space, and a purple-hued planet was especially striking. We took a lot of pictures for our blog.

I had a terrific autumn evening, so here’s the recipe if you want to try it out.

🍷 Pour yourself a drink.
🪵 Grab some firewood.
🌌 Look up at the stars. Think about space for a bit.
🔥 Build a fire and sip your drink.
🧝‍♀️ As Zelda, go find that lost horse.

You’re welcome.

In a very dark room, a fire is burning. In front of the fire is a Switch with The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom running.

Of all the photos I snapped this summer, this one’s my favorite. A bunch of people I love, heading to the beach for some fun in the sun. ⛱️

My extended family is walking on sandy dunes with sparse vegetation under a cloud-streaked sky.

Less than four hours until I can visit Hyrule again and finally actually play as Zelda. 🧝‍♀️ Reading the four-part developer interview over the past few days has made me even more hyped for the game. I love that Sano-san is the first female director of the series. About time!

We talked about covering up pits because this indeed seemed rather dirty, but when I actually tried it, it wasn't so easy to pull off, and I ended up accidentally falling down the pit instead. (Laughs)

Three people in Nintendo work attire sit at a table in a meeting room. Sano smiles and gesticulates with her hand, probably to illustrate something to the other two.

Our new car has the quirkiest acceleration sound effect. 🥹

The video above shows a close-up of the speedometer as we accelerate, along with a silly sound effect that had us cracking up.

What Is React.js?

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. 😊

Two of Manton's microblog posts. Two hours ago: Having one of those mornings where I sort of can't believe how well this coding is going. Sometimes everything just works. One hour ago: asdfasdf.

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.

The protagonist, Rain, played by Cailee Spaeny, looks concerned in a space suit.

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. 🤤

Sanna's hand holds chanterelle mushrooms, with a blurry forest path in the background.All the freshly harvested mushrooms on the kitchen counter.

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. 👀

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.

Tucked under cozy blankets, gazing at a tranquil evening sky over red cabins and trees.

My view right now: if you squint your eyes, you might spot a sailboat traveling along Göta kanal. ⛵️

I recently watched Perfect Blue, and it really tickled my soft spot for retro computers and early web surfing in anime. 💙

In a cozy living space, Rumi helps Mima set up her new Macintosh Performa. Sitting on her bed, Mima claps her hands with a joyful expression.

I just updated my now page with the books I’m into, hobby projects I’m considering, and recent adventures. 👀

Yes! 💯 Your tools should work for you. Don’t feed your scissors! Chris, on today’s ShopTalk Show 36 minutes in: 

You know, I basically got this from Alex, who I work with, who feels this way about tools and brings it up, or at least has many times, is that like tools are for you.

Like you use this tool so the tool can help you. Like I use scissors so I can cut through a piece of paper, but if I woke up and my scissors were like, feed me, I’d be like, no, you’re a weird scissors.
