I’m currently rewatching The Big Bang Theory. I watched it once while it was airing on TV and I liked it a lot. It ran for more than ten years and I got so used to the characters and locations that when it ended, I felt a bit sad. It was like saying goodbye to…

The joy of blog wandering and slow reading
•
3 min read
I enjoy browsing personal blogs and small personal websites. There’s something fascinating about deep diving into the worlds of complete strangers, whose small corners of the web I stumble upon while wandering across our beloved world wide web, through the magic of serendipity. I like these moments when I’m comfortably settled at my desk or…

This is my entry for the August 2025 IndieWeb Carnival. The topic is “Colors”, and it’s hosted by Marisabel from Konfetti Explorations. Colors. An interesting, yet challenging, topic to explore. What shade lives in your bones? That’s a tough question to begin with! I don’t really know how to approach it, but a good starting…

Or microblogging like it’s 2009! A while back, I published an article named “From Social Feeds to Personal Feeds”, where I wrote about the boredom, clutter and noise of social networks, and that I was much more into personal websites and blogs, their philosophy and mood. That being said, most of the social networks were,…

Two weeks ago, I published an article that could be categorized as a “meta post”, where I answered some random questions. It was my first post of this type, and I liked writing it. As I wrote in the conclusion of that post, it’s a good and fun way to spend time writing. So here…

There, a post written in English. Except for my fifth ”Framing Japan” series article I wrote back in May, I haven’t written anything in English since October 2024 (which was also a “Framing Japan” series article, the fourth one). Anyway, I was kind of randomly browsing the numerous blogs I have bookmarked, reading a few…

From Social Feeds to Personal Feeds
•
2 min read
I’ve become tired and bored of social networks. I used them a lot, sometimes too much. I deleted the apps from my phone a while ago, and now I only visit them via a desktop web browser, for a few minutes — sometimes just seconds — a few times a week. I’ve stopped posting for a long time and…

In 2023, I canceled my Spotify Premium subscription to try YouTube Premium (which includes YouTube Music). It’s a great service and, in my opinion, better than Spotify. For nearly a year, I listened to music almost exclusively through YouTube Music. However, a few weeks ago, I decided to cancel my YouTube Premium subscription. Knowing that…
