Almost got locked INSIDE our private snooker club 😂
Okay, that wouldn’t actually be the worst scenario!
We just moved the club to a new space, and I still haven’t adjusted to the new setup. One of the “features” is the door… it jams.
At least they didn’t take my camera while I was trapped inside!

I hate watching myself talk on camera.
Especially when it’s 10–20 minutes straight, like in my podcast episodes.
So today I decided to try something new: record the podcast from 3 different angles to keep the audience interested by switching shots, since my face alone definitely isn’t enough.

I eat up to 2,000 calories of food I paid for.
What I mean by that:
In an effort to control both my finances and my diet even more, I calculated how much each calorie I consume actually costs me. The €/calorie for meat is different from fruit or sweets.

Recording a podcast at -2°C because videos in natural settings get way more reach.
Unfortunately, I can’t remove the apartment buildings, but fortunately, the lens has a small aperture (f)!

At least when I overthink, I do it out here.

Two videos side by side in my feed, both uploaded just a few hours ago.
Same demand volume (judging by the view count), possibly different audience, massive difference in production quality and cost.

If we end up in a world where there are no jobs because of AI, the population of megacities will shrink since there will be a flight to the countryside.
The scenario doesn’t sound bad to me. Villages will come back to life and people will return to nature, where we belong.

I just walked for almost two hours this afternoon.
And I still have 20 minutes left to get home.
Truth is, I’d love to walk another two hours.

Brainstorming ideas and solving problems during the afternoon walk with no one around (thanks to the cold) 👌

I started eating 6 eggs in the morning since last week.
It sounds like a lot, but lately I’ve heard from many people I follow online (not doctors) that they’ve been doing it for years and their blood tests have never been better.
So I gave it a shot and we’ll see.

My cardio recovery has dropped over the past 8 weeks, Apple says.
Alarm bells!
I read that a high measurement = good. “Oh, what bad luck has hit me again,” I think.
Before I start asking the AI and Google doctors, I zoom out to the yearly chart.

I broke my hip when I was 13 at school.
When my parents arrived at the hospital, the doctors told them they’d know if the bone would “knit” in SIX months, and whether I’d ever walk again in TWO YEARS!

I write my articles on my own blog.
After I finish them, *maybe* I copy them and publish on other platforms and social networks. Some do it on Substack, LinkedIn and X.

I’m not writing here to chase views and likes.
I’m writing reminders to myself about what happened to me, so I can add them to my blog when I find the time.
In the end, that’s where it’ll all be written forever, everything I want to remember from my life.

I’m hooked on replying to comments on today’s video by speaking instead of typing and I’m doing it while walking around waiting for the kid to finish her activity!
Does it show?
I never expected to get this excited about the new YouTube voice reply feature!

Almost two months after downgrading my X subscription, today I found out I’m also losing access to my priority handle, after already losing SuperGrok a few days ago.
At least for one month, I had both for $7/month instead of $33!

I recorded a podcast episode tonight in Greek about how I predict YouTube will change in the coming years (or even months).
The living room was free, so I set up the Sony FX6, lights, and a lav mic under my shirt and hit record. Zero preparation!
