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.
Two tiny tealights fighting the darkness. Looks like they’re winning. Go light! 🙌🕯️
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”.
Choosing not to choose, and it worked great again today. Fate knows my taste.
Meditation makes me boring — a few words about what meditation has meant to me, and what it still does.
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.
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.
I have now moved most of my long-form content to robertbirming.com. I’ve set up redirects for several posts and pages, but far from all. I still like the idea of keeping birming.com as a Micro.blog-hosted space for shorter posts. Knowing myself, I hardly dare say it, but I really like this setup. 😎
