Beef It’s what was for dinner.

“What were the 70s and early 80s really like?” They were dark, very contrasty, and grainy with lots of muted colours.

A blast from the past I was cleaning out some more things today and I found this gem. It’s from the early 80s and I must have spent countless hours with my brother and even my parents playing this little game. I looked online and they actually sell for quite a bit of money so I may actually end up selling it. I honestly have no intention of ever playing it again, but it was nice to see it again and yes, it does work....

Goodbye Old 2011 MacBook Pro. Yes, another “Goodbye” post from me - in so short a time. But this one is a must. I got this wonderful machine back in December 2011 and it’s been with me in Israel, Japan, the UK, and France. It was a workhorse for a very long time. But two and a half years ago I stopped using it in favour of the newer MacBook Pro I had for two years before getting my current one....

Goodbye morning bears. I’ve been posting a picture of a polar bear every single morning on Facebook since something like 2014 or 2015, without fail. And, as much as I love polar bears, I think it’s time to say goodbye to this morning tradition. I started it because I wanted to see something happy first thing in the morning before anything else. But it has long since worn out that usefulness for me....

I really like Dracula Theme for Emacs. I’ve been trying the Dracula Theme for about a week or so and I really enjoy it. It’s colourful and beautiful. It’s going on my permanent rotation for dark themes. I rotate between light and dark ones (light in the morning, dark at night) every day but I only keep the ones which please me the best, so my list is rather small....

Working on the template Now I have to customise this template a little more. I think I like this static site thing. It’s much less heavy than Wix or Wordpress. Maybe I’ll turn this into a micro-blogging site as well. Not sure yet.

Welcome to my new blog. I just deployed it. It’s ready to go. I’m doing this because I have some things to say. And I’ve decided to say them. In public. It’s a brave step.
