Remember the days when a smartphone felt personal?
In my journey through technology, my BlackBerry Curve was more than just a device; it was a companion that shaped my path into the tech world.

Every new app promises to save you time.
But if you added up all the minutes spent tinkering, tweaking, and rescheduling your perfect life…
You probably lost more time than you saved.

Are we oversharing our lives online at the expense of genuine connection?
In today's digital age, the urge to share every moment can feel overwhelming. But have we lost sight of the value of personal reflection?

We are living in a world full of distraction.
In our fast-paced lives, we often forget to observe and absorb the richness around us.

My top ten tips for Obsidian Bases
![1. You can drag views in the View menu to reorder them. The first one is the default view.
2. Right-click the View button to skip the view picker and edit the current view.
3. Bases can be embedded as .base files or as code blocks (like Dataview). Both use the same syntax.
4. Use [[BaseName.base#ViewName]] to embed a specific view.
5. Views have layout options. For tables you can set row height. For cards you can set card size and cover image.
6. The Results count is clickable and lets you limit results and export to CSV/clipboard.
7. With the Properties menu open, you can navigate to a property in the list using arrow keys, and hold Opt key (Alt on Windows) to move the property up or down the list.
8. Double-click a column divider to reset the column width.
9. You can place base files in sidebars to create custom views, like a recent files view, or attachments view.
10. When embedded in a note, this.file refers to the current note. In a sidebar, this.file refers to the active note.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4pklmqyj4mew3wftz7edg4fy/bafkreigpqrfem2co5n4owukyocyw5rlommgkqfpsvodge5hskh4cg5mkuq@jpeg)

Is AI killing the web?
Once a realm of exploration and discovery, the internet has transformed into a streamlined platform where the primary goal is simply to find answers. In our quest for efficiency, we've sacrificed the joy of getting lost in the vastness of information.

Feeling lost in the liminal space? You're not alone.
Recently, I found myself navigating the chaos of relocation and job changes, and it left me feeling ungrounded. As I moved from a place that felt like home to the Bay Area, I realized that the in-between moments often define our journey.

Are you using procrastination to fuel your creativity?
Contrary to popular belief, not all procrastination is detrimental. In fact, intentional procrastination can be a powerful tool that allows us to prioritize tasks that truly inspire us.
