Saturday is market day. Today’s haul. 😋

Fruits and vegetables on a wooden table. Apples, carrots, onions, mushrooms, cabbage, plums, wax beans, and cauliflower.

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.

An old, but pretty looking, Commodore 64 computer on a desk.

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 woman on a hill enjoying the view over a vast broadleaf forest. It’s a foggy day, so she can’t see very far.

A huge green beast roams the land not too far from my place. 🦖

Photo of lamp post entirely wrapped by a climbing vine. With a bit of imagination, it looks like a giraffe or maybe a Brontosaurus. A 36-year-old – but it seems like a 6-year-old – has drawn something resembling a dinosaur on top of the photo.

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. 😅

A desk is facing a window. Outside, a blue sky and the top of a red tile roof. The room is filled with green plants. One is hiding behind a screen and looks quite thirsty and unhappy.

What a day! After 20 years as girlfriend and boyfriend, Sanna and I got hitched. 🥰

A happy couple is embracing each other in the middle of a rosary. They look very much in love; maybe there's a kiss coming up?

I’ve really mastered the art of setting timers. 😅 Pretty much forced to, when electricity prices vary like this during the day:

A chart shows electricity prices varying between 0.35–5.53 Swedish krona per kilowatt-hour during 24 hours.

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. 🇪🇺

A bunch of gadgets on a wooden table. Looks like a yard sale, but you know, online.

Online Yard Sale

Please, buy my stuff. 😅 Currently, I have 9 things to be listed on eBay (or Tradera). But if you’re quick, you can grab them before they are listed. I will give you a good deal.

Everything currently resides with me here in Sweden 🇸🇪, but I ship worldwide.

Soon to be listed, be quick! 🚀

I haven’t come around to photographing these yet. Reach out if you’re interested, and I will snap some pictures for you.

Most of these are complete and in the original box. I take great care of my gadgets, so they are all in good shape.

Price? Give me an offer once you’ve seen the item’s condition.

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.

Containers on a wooden table. Filled with chanterelles, gooseberries, redcurrants, and blueberries.

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. 📚

A tiny shed at a beach with the door opened. Inside there are two shelves filled with books.

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!

Screenshot of the Spring '83 web client demo. Four HTML cards are shown: Your board, Robin's board, Ryan, and Peter. These cards have their own personal touch to them. The content and vibes differ. One is artsier, and another share links to other boards. It looks like a lot of fun!
