Day two of the Micro.blog 12 days of winter wonder photo challenge. Today’s word: cozy.
I met this lovely bundle of cuteness while doing a house inspection. One of the great benefits of this line of work is that you get to meet a lot of wonderful pets.

I’m taking part in Micro.blog’s lovely 12 days of winter wonder photo challenge. Today’s word is frost, and this shot is from the south of Stockholm, back in 2023… since frost is nowhere to be seen here in Sweden right now, even though we’re neighbors with Santa.

Spotted this handsome gentleman and asked if I could snap a photo. I’m always a bit hesitant to ask when I’m in Sweden, compared to when I’m traveling. Not so much because Swedes are reserved. I guess it just feels a bit too close to home somehow.

Watched: Warfare 🍿
Rewatched it now that it’s on streaming. Still really good, in all its horror and ugliness. What’s most disturbing is how it goes from long, boring waiting to sudden, intense terror. No soundtrack gives it a raw, documentary feel.

Watched: Kite On Ice 🍿
Kite is one of my absolute favorite bands. Not because they’re from Sweden, just like me, but because they’re amazing. I loved this concert film. It was visually stunning, and the music was fantastic, of course.

I’ve also brought back the Micro.blog Photos page on my Bear blog now. It feels nice to have it in place again. I removed it earlier because things got messy when I was working on a public theme. I’ll likely return to that project soon, but for now I’m happy to let it rest a bit.

I’ve redesigned robertbirming.com (or rather, I’m redesigning, because it will never really end) and decided to bring back the Micro.blog Notes section. It feels like a nice extra to have around.

Dishonesty is a rejection of life — lovely post by Annie about being present.
"When you focus on the past or the future, you opt out of existing in the present. As long as you choose to stay there, in the not-now, you don’t exist in the now."

I’ve started working on version 3.0 of my Bearming theme for Bear Blog. I’ve learned so much along the way while building it. With that in mind, I’ve decided to include a lot of comments to help anyone who wants to pick up a bit of CSS. I’m really looking forward to bringing it to life soon…

I loved it! The best mini-series I’ve seen since Adolescence. Great story, amazing acting, and it manages to stay away from most clichés.

Made a few updates to my new Bearly theme for Bear Blog: added rainbow and sparkling logo add-ons, plus a Matrix-inspired Neo Console color palette. 🎨

I finally released Bearly today 🥳 It’s been such a fun and rewarding journey. I’m honestly a bit proud of how it turned out (even if you’re not really “supposed to” say that here in Sweden). I’ll probably write a longer post soon about the process and all the little things I learned along the way.

I thought I’d have my new Bear theme ready to ship today, but it’ll have to wait a bit longer. No rush, I want to get it “right”. It’s without doubt the most ambitious theme I’ve built so far, and whether people like it or not, creating it has been pure joy and a great learning ride. Back to coding…

Just read on SVT, Sweden’s public service news outlet, that our neighbors in Denmark will set a minimum age of 15 for social media. Kids 13+ can use it with parents’ permission. PM Mette Frederiksen says it’s about giving childhood back — “phones and social media are stealing it.” Sign of the times.

I love that Robb Knight shared a photo of his workspace in his P&B interview, and I absolutely love how it looks 😍 If there’s one thing the indie web could get better at, it’s sharing photos in posts every now and then. It’s such a nice little treat.

Home sick, but my new Bear theme is getting better. I already have a name for it, though with my obsession for details, it probably should’ve been called OCD. 😅
