If you'd like to follow along my new journey, please check out Notes by JCProbably parked in a new neighborhood. This blog will be up for an undetermined amount of time so feel free to peruse older posts (for now), but these posts have also been migrated to the new...
I get distracted by new, shiny things often, and at times get super antsy to jump ship to something different. I'm feeling that a bit right now as I find myself playing with Bear blog a bit more. Although it looks minimal at its core, I'm surprised that it actually...
🗓️ // 052524-053124 I must admit, I’m not doing a very good job with staying on top of Week Notes. I’m tempted to title it Weak Notes* because I’m just not sure how much I can keep this up in the future. Had to do this week since it also...
Wow, is this really it? Did we really make it to the end of WeblogPoMo? To be honest, it's slightly bittersweet... You see, I hate doing things because I have to. I want to do things because I want to, not because something or someone told me to. The joy...
I finally got around to re-categorizing the posts I’ve written this month for Weblog PoMo. A majority of them are tagged: life, but have also created new ones like blogging, and bookshelf. The posts themselves can be found in my dedicated Weblog PoMo page. Today, I also added what I’m...
As we are nearing the end of WeblogPoMo2024, I am starting to think about how to organize the posts I’ve written this month. I initially have them tagged (categorized) as WeblogPoMo, so that it’s easier for the PoMo bot on Mastodon to pick up specific posts. Over the coming days...
Micro.blog recently released an audio feature that allows you to upload a voice narration of your blog post. It’s the complete opposite of what you’d usually see where people would narrate their blog posts, and an AI will transcribe it into text. Manton (creator of Mb) mentions in his blog: ...
One of my favorite daily carry is my CampSnap Camera. It’s a scree-free digital toy camera that is super fun to use. It’s an extremely low tech, no-frills camera that encourages you to stay in the moment when you’re out and about. It’s lightweight so I can just put it...
I officially joined the IndieWeb for blogging around the end of March. When April came around, I participated in Micro.blog's April Photo Challenge where you were encouraged to post a photo a day based on a crowdsourced prompt. That was the first time I’ve ever joined any kind of community...
If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why? For as long as I can remember, I’ve always only ever had 2 answers to this question: teleportation and ability to fly. Sometimes I would alternate between the two answers, but for the most part, my default answer...
🗓️ // 051824-052424 I skipped (missed?) last week’s Week Notes, but I’m forcing myself to do it this week so that I can use this as my Day 24 WeblogPoMo2024 post. Is this technically cheating? I didn’t impose any rules for myself when starting this challenge, so I’m making a...
I’ve never been a fan of talking about myself. Whether it’s for a job interview, a self-evaluation of sorts, or in therapy, there’s something about it that makes me feel awkward and uncomfortable. To me, the feeling of selling myself to appear some sort of impressive just doesn’t feel authentic,...
I’m struggling. A little bit. OK, maybe a bit more than a little bit. I think right now I’m just having a hard time accepting that as the years go by, as I get a little bit older, I’m seeing more and more people I’ve known and loved pass away....
Sometimes, we all need a little pep talk to keep going. When there's no one around to give us that much needed boost, we have to rely on ourselves. Other times, a few encouraging quotes from those who've been there before can be just what we need to move forward....
Today, I hit my 365 days streak with Duolingo. I joined Duolingo in August 2015 but didn’t take it “seriously” until recently. When I was in middle school, we were given a choice on what foreign language we wanted to take. It was either French or Spanish. As someone whose...
