Bear is down for some custom domains, including mine. I’ll take it as a sign that running two blogs was the right choice 😊

Watched: A House of Dynamite (2025) 🍿

I really liked it. It was well-made and had almost a documentary feel. If you enjoyed Kathryn Bigelow’s other films, like The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty, you’ll probably like this one too.

My latest Bear experiment: a custom search feature for my blog page. There’s an official version, but I decided to take it a step further, making descriptions searchable and highlighting the searched term. You can even link directly to a search.

Time for some transcenDental meditation. Getting to the root of things, one tooth at a time. Drilling deep into my thoughts, finding that inner wisdom tooth. Ommm… my gums! 🧘🦷

Playing: The End by Mammoth 🎧

Just discovered this great track after listening to an interesting interview with the man behind Mammoth, Wolfgang Van Halen.

Watched: The Perfect Neighbor (2025) 🍿

A crazy and tragic story. One of those times you wish it were fiction and not a documentary. Still, definitely worth watching.

One last Micro Bear update for today: I added a Videos page and decided to separate movies and shows on the Status page. Also made a few style tweaks for the Extra page.

I was greeted by an explosion of autumn colors at one of my jobs today. 🍁

I’ve updated the Postroll on my Bear blog. It now uses my Micro.blog bookmarks instead of Raindrops, and I’ve also added a search feature.

Playing: Wasted Years by Iron Maiden 🎧

I was in my teens when this song came out. I’d just started playing the drums, and I thought the drumming on this track was so cool (still do). Later, when I saw them crash a playback performance on German TV, I knew they were the coolest band in the world.
