I’m really fond of the bamboo-and-steel canopy. If I had a bigger yard, I’d definitely choose this… it’s truly beautiful.

Posted a titled blog post to Bluesky via Micro.blog’s Standard.site integration — looks sharp! The ‘View Publication’ pill is a nice touch. One quirk: the post title appears twice — once in the body text, again in the card. Hopefully that gets ironed out soon. What do you think of this?
I love trying out new gadgets when they drop, but they tend to have a short shelf life — ending up tucked away somewhere, forgotten. Same goes for apps and websites. I used to sign up for every new thing that caught my eye, explore it for a bit, then move on to the next shiny object. I had accounts everywhere.
Now I only buy what I know I’ll actually use. I stopped buying new gadgets three years ago after a layoff, and my approach to apps has mellowed out too. I still dabble in new stuff once in a while, but nothing like the signing-up frenzy of my past.
It’s embarrassing that the US hasn’t kept pace with the shift to electric vehicles, which are the future and should be affordable. Not only that, but trains are improving in Europe & China with better tech, yet we’re falling behind. 🙄
EVs are getting more affordable worldwide — except in the U.S.
TIL that DC is an acronym for “Detective Comics.” Now, the times I don’t need to say DC Comics because it’s already implied in DC, right? But why do we still say DC Comics? Hmm. I find it interesting…what do you think?
“…did you know that “DC” stands for “Detective Comics,” which means that “DC Comics” is redundant?”
If I plan to redo my tiny house, I would go with this exterior wood like this… It is a beautiful house.
