Week 2 definitely upped the difficulty (here is Week 1 btw), but it seems as though it is pretty easy to find things that we can part with. My partner is very much getting into it. She mentioned that this was a good forcing function. There were things she was going to get rid of ‘at some point’ and this has become that point. I feel like I should be taking photos of my drawers of crap before and after. It has really helped me find a way to incorporate decluttering items into my routine. Some items that just faded… Read more: Gamifying Decrapifying: Week 2

My commuter bike is a Brompton P-Line, which I’ve done various customizations on, and I’ve done a couple videos on this topic. This post is about upgrading the wheels on it, and why you should avoid OmniWheels. 😭 The #1 best Brompton upgrade I’ve done is the GoRack. One of my more popular videos is this one: The GoRack is really a game changer in terms of stability and easy of use. The wide base is amazing, and extremely easy to roll around. The wide strong axle with the roller blade wheels makes it a very very smooth experience. I… Read more: Omniwheels on a Brompton GoRack

Like many people, I have fallen into the trap of having way way too much crap. And sometimes I don’t really have a good answer on how to get rid of said crap. Like… what do I do with old electronics and batteries? I also have a ‘man-closet’ full of tools and parts, and a garage full of tools, hardware and supplies. The Minimalist Game While I was trying to figure out the best way to declutter and get rid of my stuff in my garage, I came across some aussie talking about The Minimalist Game. Which is apparently from… Read more: Gamifying Decrapifying: Week 1

🥸Music & Communism🥸 Molly Nilsson has a new track from another album! I also looked up some old anti-communist propaganda which she used as lyrics for one of her recent songs: 100 things you should know about communism in the USA. There were terrible copies of this floating around, but someone found and uploaded a great copy of this old Sheep On Drugs track. Sometimes I can’t believe some of the crazy shit they played on tv on the 90s. I have what I call a ‘Spotify gap’. This is the period of time that I stopped collecting music and… Read more: 🪠Link Dump August 23rd 🪠

Tech 🤖 I have recently migrated a number of services and projects to a docker-based setup and while in some ways its kind of cool, its also kind of a drag. The origin of the Apple command symbol is related to Swedish campgrounds. Ideas 🤔 While I haven’t read it, I found out about a really weird book called The End Of History and The Last Man which theorizes that liberal democracy is the ‘final form’ of human government. I call this ‘weird’ because some philosophy or concepts get more focus not because they are any more true or likely,… Read more: 💩 Link Dump July 26th, 2025 💩
