Trying out the new ”Activity” feature in the @microsocial app for Micro.blog. I love the idea! For this little test I picked the ”Listening” option and a song that’s become part of modern Swedish music history.

Listening to Shoreline by Broder Daniel from Cruel Town 🎵

I love checking out small, half-hidden alleys here in Chiang Mai. Especially when it’s dark. There’s always some kind of bright light source that makes the scenes almost feel staged. This photo is straight from the phone, with zero edits.

A small, dimly lit street-side water vending machine with signage is surrounded by various items and scaffolding structures at night.

Two tiny tealights fighting the darkness. Looks like they’re winning. Go light! 🙌🕯️

A rustic street corner features a candle-lit shrine next to a large tree surrounded by brooms, a mop, and a blue cart.

There’s something about old stuff. You just point and shoot, and it’s going to look cool. Maybe it’s also about the fact that it’s still around, that it has survived people’s urge to trade the old for the new. A sense of “there’s still hope for humanity”.

A vintage Volkswagen van is parked by the sidewalk, surrounded by trees and small shops at night.

I’m still so hesitant about posting shorter, title-less posts like this one. Even now, when I have robertbirming.com for longer posts. As if this isn’t considered a “real blog post”. It’s stupid, I know.

Anyway, the photo is from an evening walk around the back alleys of Chiang Mai.

A small street food stall with colorful umbrellas is surrounded by people and a person on a scooter at night.

Found another hidden gem here in Chiang Mai today. It really feels like you’re stepping into another world when you go from street chaos to quiet calm. Realted blog post: The idiot behind the wheel

Found this cool little hidden coffee shed today. No electricity, amazing prices, and fantastic coffee.

I’ve been using both ChatGPT and Claude lately for CSS. Running tests side by side on the same things. Here’s my short summary of how they differ:

  • ChatGPT: It works, but I would also suggest…
  • Claude: Perfect! Let’s move on.
