Altered video game screen

Via Death Generator. I can see this being useful for many, many shitposting needs.

Sitting around on a Sunday afternoon, I saw a new post from Derek Sivers and decided to check out his /now page again. Which led to wandering through nownownow again. Which led me to Wes Bos' uses.tech. And then to spending some time updating my own /now page and adding my own /uses page. And then to adding GitHub-style alerts so each page could explain why they’re a thing…

Work setup for 2021

A desk setup

I’ve been working from home full-time for three years as of today. While it’s not perfect, my setup has come a long way since then – originally I had a tiny 60cm x 100cm (24" x 40") desk wedged between my bed and a window. Nowadays I have a separate office, which helps a lot with establishing boundaries between work and home.
