Finished reading: One by One (Robert Hunter, #5) by Chris Carter 📚
Another terrifying ride with Robert Hunter. I don’t know how Chris Carter keeps making each book this horrifying yet impossible to put down. I loved it in all its disturbing ways.
I’ve started working on version 3.0 of my Bearming theme for Bear Blog. I’ve learned so much along the way while building it. With that in mind, I’ve decided to include a lot of comments to help anyone who wants to pick up a bit of CSS. I’m really looking forward to bringing it to life soon…
Finished watching: Task 📺
I loved it! The best mini-series I’ve seen since Adolescence. Great story, amazing acting, and it manages to stay away from most clichés.
Made a few updates to my new Bearly theme for Bear Blog: added rainbow and sparkling logo add-ons, plus a Matrix-inspired Neo Console color palette. 🎨

I finally released Bearly today 🥳 It’s been such a fun and rewarding journey. I’m honestly a bit proud, even if you’re not really “supposed to” say that here in Sweden, of how it turned out. I’ll probably write a longer post soon about the process and all the little things I learned along the way.
I thought I’d have my new Bear theme ready to ship today, but it’ll have to wait a bit longer. No rush, I want to get it “right”. It’s without doubt the most ambitious theme I’ve built so far, and whether people like it or not, creating it has been pure joy and a great learning ride. Back to coding…
Just read on SVT, Sweden’s public service news outlet, that our neighbors in Denmark will set a minimum age of 15 for social media. Kids 13+ can use it with parents’ permission. PM Mette Frederiksen says it’s about giving childhood back — “phones and social media are stealing it.” Sign of the times.
I love that Robb Knight shared a photo of his workspace in his P&B interview, and I absolutely love how it looks 😍 If there’s one thing the indie web could get better at, it’s sharing photos in posts every now and then. It’s such a nice little treat.
Home sick, but my new Bear theme is getting better. I already have a name for it, though with my obsession for details, it probably should’ve been called OCD. 😅
Working on a new theme for Bear Blog. The more I think about it, the more I lean toward making it the Bearming 3.0 version. It’ll be quite different from the earlier ones, but I suppose that’s the whole point of a new version number.
Listening to: Insane by Deki Alem 🎵
Great track from the Swedish twin brothers Sammy and Johnny Boakye Bennett. Feels a bit like Connected by Stereo MC’s, with a touch of early Björk in there too.
Today I learned why they named it DuckDuckGo, after reading Annie’s post Duck duck duck dichotomy. I had never heard of this game before 😊
Went out for lunch, ended up at a Slipknot concert. 🎃
Finished watching: Bugonia 🍿
Conspiratorial beekeepers and potential aliens hiding in plain sight. An unusually normal film for Yorgos Lanthimos. I freakin’ loved it!

Nice to see the Bear Discovery feed all dressed up for Halloween. Looking delightfully spooky!
Here’s a fun little Halloween hack for your blog: rename your guestbook to Ghostbook 👻
Finished watching: King’s Game 🍿
Classic political drama. I really liked it. There’s something about Danish movies that always feels so raw and real, like you’re watching actual life unfold.

Now you can get the classic Swedish dammsugare (vacuum cleaner) pastry in Halloween mode. Marzipan, chocolate-dipped ends, and a punsch-flavored mix of biscuits, butter, and cocoa. 😋
