100 Days of Being – Wrapping Up
It feels somewhat surreal to be looking backwards, at the end of my #100DaysofBeing series for 2026, pondering how I managed it. When I started, there was the motivation of a not quite milestone birthday coming up to look forward to, one that suggested I need something to focus on/ discipline myself for. Having completed… Continue reading

92.Life in A Song
Carlton Pearson‘s Mother Sherman Testimony song coming up as part of a random album shuffle on Symfonium/Navidrome took me down memory lane, particularly how it all fell apart for him after being branded a heretic for his views on hell (Universalism). Come Sunday should make its way to my summer watching list I think. Quite… Continue reading

82. Re: IMG-0416 (or The Secret Lives of Passwords, Revisited)
Cafelog’s post Re: IMG-0416, particularly the bits where he tried meaningful numbers, triggered a memory for me and led me down the path of furious searching till I found it. The article in question, The Secret Lives of Passwords, details Howard Lutnick’s (yes that Trump guy) attempts to rebuild Cantor Fitzgerald (CF) in the aftermath… Continue reading

77. Stumbled upon – Libation
Navidrome on my home server might be the gift that keeps giving.

40. Not (yet) Buying the World Cup Hype
Italia 90 was my first World Cup, with each one since then eagerly looked forward to and anticipated. The current edition is the first one which I am yet to buy the hype. The optics and politics can’t have helped, as have Nigeria bungling the opportunity of a life time to be at an expanded… Continue reading

39. Podcast Fatigue
As an avid listener to podcasts, I spend a good chunk of time collecting and adding to the list. The threshold for addition isn’t really that high; usually boiling down to: As of today, I have 496 pods in my feed, some of which are admitedly dead and are far too many to listen to… Continue reading

25. JUnited 2026
Robert Birming’s post piqued my interest, particularly as I am a quarter of the way through my 100DaysofBeing challenge to post every day for 100 days, and looking for some structure!
