I’ve done a complete redesign of the Blogging Tips & Tools page. It’s been on my to-do list for a long time, and with Bear’s downtime today, I finally decided to get to work. Hope you like it!
The upside of downtime — a positive take on the current technical issues with the Bear blogging platform.
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! 🧘🦷
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.
I was greeted by an explosion of autumn colors at one of my jobs today. 🍁
