  Another #slöjd / #sløyd solution. Somebody had a little accident with the gas burner and scorched the handle on one of our favorite cast-iron pans. I whittled, drilled and rasped a little stick some gardeners left in the neighborhood. (I think it was a hawthorn but I'm not 100% sure). I dare say, it looks a bit nicer than the old one. #rustic #repair

  Imagine that it's 1925 and I am a clever, experienced mechanical engineer. I look around at the "tech" world of the time and notice some disturbing things: - the rising power of literally fascist CEOs like Henry Ford - What began as an inefficient, quirky novelty toy for rich people, the automobile, has become "normal" and started to dominate public space - rising levels of fossil pollution - the rising monopoly power of Oil companies - dangerous...

  Man I thought I was dodging the bullet by not having a smart phone, but fuck, more friends and colleagues are finding a way to annoy the crap out of me via SMS. Instead of sending nice coherent emails or calling to have a short discussion, they blast me with either epic-length SMS or streams of a half-dozen random half-thoughts in half-sentences. Each one zapping me with interruption from whatever I'm trying to do. It's almost never urgent or something related to something we&a...

  "The ambition to produce in quantity is dangerous because it deprives you of the enjoyment of being both a friend to your ideas and a friend to your materials. Materials have qualities which will speak if you listen. Let the artist go slowly; [s]he must give time and labor without counting." — Jose de Creeft

  Maybe we should stop calling them *Notifications* and instead refer to *Interruptions*. "Working on some stuff so I've turned off interruptions for a while." "Right on."

  I made a smaller rustic chair for the kiddos. It's hazel sticks with a pear seat. #woodworking #lumberpunk

  Does anyone know of a powerbank that has replaceable LiFePO4 batteries? I'd like to find something that's less disposable.

  Exciting to hear that my local, lovable but somewhat inconsistent men's Bundesliga football team, Union Berlin, has fired the head coach and installed Marie-Louise Eta as the new trainer. This is the first time a woman has been a head coach in men's Bundesliga history! https://www.rbb24.de/sport/beitrag/2026/04/fussball-bundesliga-union-berlin-trainer-baumgart-trennung-eta.html

  A little test rig to see if my brake-splitter setup will work for the cargo-trike. #bikebuilding

  I made some more progress on my woody cargo trike today. Still need to finish the brakes and rear wheel but it feels great to push it around the parking lot for a test ride. #bikebuilding #carryshitolympics
