Week 12: Tattoo, Linux, Gaming
Tattoo I got a new tattoo! I thought I’d get something that reminded me of the Philippines, but I didn’t want a flag necessarily. So I got sampaguita flowers and a flying fox instead. I’m hoping to get gumamela flowers next. The tattoo is from Holly Danesi. Linux It’s been 4 months since I’ve been […]

Week 11: Socials, Crafts, Nature
Socials This week, I joined weirder.earth (it’s kinda like Twitter) and bookwyrm.social (it’s kinda like Goodreads). Unlike other social networks that are controlled by surveillance capitalists, these websites are usually run by an individual or a small group of people. I can’t speak for all websites on the fediverse, but these are typically ad-free and […]

Week 10: Clay, Tablet, Veggies
Luminary Andrea and I went to a clay studio to do a workshop on candle luminaries. It was my first time doing anything with clay, but this workshop got me into the flow state right away. Two hours just zipped by from my perspective. We were pretty happy about the results, too. I made a […]

Week 8: Energy, Maps, and Grandma
↗ Lo-fi version Using Renewable Energy at Home I recently switched our power and gas supplier to The Energy Co-op because I wanted our apartment to start using renewable energy. Although we’re not literally using power that comes straight out of wind turbines and solar panels (The Energy Co-op works by buying and retiring RECs […]

Week 7: Kindle, Couch, Baths
↗ Lo-fi version Kindle I found a Kindle being given away on a street corner for free! I looked up the model number online, and it looks like it’s from 2011. We were doubtful about its condition, but it surprisingly works well! The battery life is excellent, you can still log in to it, and […]

Week 6: Meetups, Filipino Food, Hypercard
↗ Lo-fi version Permacomputing I went to a permacomputing meetup at Iffy Books. I expected to talk about how we can change our behavior and lifestyle (keep using our current devices, don’t throw out old ones, use leaner software, etc.), but I was pleasantly surprised that we ended up talking about larger, sometimes systemic issues […]

Week 5: Books, Movies, Friends
↗ Lo-fi version I learned about an anti-capitalist, anti-big tech, environmentalist, hacking-oriented bookstore called Iffy Books, and I got super excited so I got a bunch of books from them. I’m hoping to go to their permacomputing workshop in a couple days as well. Speaking of books, we got around to unpacking and arranging our […]

Week 4: Eating a lot
↗ Lo-fi version I celebrated my birthday this week! I first celebrated with my family in New Jersey. I ordered some Japanese and Thai food for us to share at home. My dad also made smoked pork belly which was absolutely delicious. I then took the train back home to Philly and then I went […]

Week 3: Visiting Family, Plan 9 Bootcamp
↗ Lo-fi version I visited my family this week in New Jersey. It’s my grandpa’s birthday so we had a little reunion over here. My siblings are on summer vacation as well, so it’s really nice to see everyone in one place. My parent’s house is surrounded by trees so I’ve been taking advantage of […]
