Today we were at a wildlife park and I was able to take some portraits of some residents with the camera I bought. Here are my favorites, all unedited.

For no apparent reason, I wasn’t in the best mood for the last few days, but today I planned to do a bike ride, and it paid off, as it often does. Riding while the sun is already setting is nice.

Replacing the battery in my electric toothbrush

Published on in ✍️ Posts

I haven’t soldered anything since school. When we decluttered the flat some years ago, I gave away all the soldering gear of my dad. But this year, I finally soldered again. I upgraded my electric toothbrush with a much bigger battery, going from an aging 700 mAh to 2300 mAh.

There’s no way to deny it’s already autumn, even though it’s still 20 degrees.

Published on in 🔗 Links

Cory Dransfeldt published a list of inspirations for what to do to become worthless to tech companies. A lot probably sounds easier than it actually is nowadays, but anything is better than nothing, right?
