Real estate opportunity: invest in my rent payments
Am I really going to post a public statement of my finances in order to find investors, as I promised in my previous post about calculated stable loans? Yes, I think this will be interesting for other

A practical crypto use case: Calculated Stable Loans
We deserve to be in a crypto bear market. The latest bull market was based on cynical speculation in the form of memecoins and digital asset treasuries. While there were all-time-highs, crypto never regained

Did anyone else have a problem logging in using the Keychain extension? It looks like I had a timeout issue. It's hard to tell what went wrong when there are so many moving parts. Anyway, I switched to

Almost exactly 10K
Around 11:30 I checked my step count and thought: Great, I only need 43 more steps to reach 10,000. Then I forgot about it, sat down at my desk and almost missed my goal. Otherwise not a super fun day.

Actifit report for Sunday
I wasn't exercising, I was mostly pacing around nervously, because I'm applying for jobs, both temp work in a warehouse and regular office jobs. This might mean I'll be paid double for walking around at

Pulling my weight
I'm finally ready to put my life on a more regular schedule. I joined a powerlifting lesson in the gym for the second time, and I'll keep doing that every Saturday, unless I need to work. This time, we

Sunday shopping in the sun
This time I have a relevant photo, but not much of a story. I cycled to the Aldi supermarket, which is not near my home. I like the taste of their zero-sugar cola, and cheap wine is nice too. Maybe this

Lifting smarter and harder
While I've been going to a weightlifting gym since December, I hadn't joined the powerlifting classes yet. They're usually fully booked before I can make plans, and the suggested accessory program is rather

Another heatwave
There's a heatwave in the Netherlands again, although less severe than in the Mediterranean and shorter than earlier this summer. Still, a Hungarian trucker decided to jump into the water from the 9m high

Round numbers
Yesterday I was happy to notice that the gym has 1kg weights now. Actually, it was a girl making fun of them who made me notice them. Previously the lightest weights were 1.25kg and a few rings of a pound

My favorite abstract art NFTs - now for sale!
I've been in love with abstract art since I visited the Neues Museum Weserburg in Bremen and the Leeds Art Gallery in 2013. It wasn't an accident that I was charmed by those provincial museums. Previously,

A normal Monday
Posting this just to point out that you can easily reach 11k steps on a regular day. I went to the supermarket and I vacuumed three rooms, nothing special. Random photo: my brother's garden. Although his

While hundreds of thousands of Dutch people were visiting Amsterdam for the Canal Parade, I went to the eastern city of Nijmegen, also for homosexual purposes, which I won't specify. 😁 It was not a sunny

I covered almost the same distance on Saturday, when I went cycling with a friend, just to have a chat. Along the way, on a rather remote bike path, we noticed a long stretch of thorny bushes, where a

Deadlift & Back Extensions
On Saturday I went to the gym, cycling for 2x30 minutes as usual. Since the gym was being remodeled, I couldn't use any cages, but I could do all the exercises I wanted to do with weights on the floor

Lazy Sunday in the park
The weekend before a three-day heatwave was a good time to be outside. On Saturday I went to the gym, where I enjoyed sweating for other reasons than the weather. I squatted 5kg above my PR and lifted

Like A Real Sport
Yesterday I went to Utrecht Central Station on my bike. I noticed a pop-up stadium on the square in front of the train station. Short bursts of loud music were drowning out the audience's cheers. It sounded

The cult leader who failed to decentralize IOTA and left that project with a lot ...

Disappointing to see NL in software documentation and notice it means Natural ...
