Ran into a bump in the road with Obsidian the other day which is a very rare occurrence. Inside of a note I was making, I linked to another one of my vaults. But when I popped the preview, nothing happened when I clicked the link. Fast reload—nothing. Close Obsidian entirely, reopen it—still nothing. Fast reload...

There is something we gotta package into words, then sentences, then paragraphs and let loose into the ether in order keep going. Very recently I had a very large piece of Humble Pie served to me, and instead of sulking in sorrow about it, I'm just going to put all the cards out on the table and then move on. What...

People around here really seem to lean into the Irish heritage they don't really have today. There is some small town not too far from here (Erin) that has some crazy-huge Saint Patrick's Day celebration, where they close basically the whole city down, have a parade and allow people to drink everywhere. This will go...

Since winter began last year, I've had my "toast" button on BearBlog as a Snowflake emoji. ❄️ That is what you saw when you came here and saw a new post. When you liked or toasted a post it would turn into a Snowman. ☃️ With the Spring Equinox just around the corner, I've gotta make a decision on what two new emojis...

I have been using Obsidian now for almost six years. It seems to have gained a lot of attention recently, as people plug Claude Code directly into one of the most sacred directories on their computer. Linting and Prettifying your vault is one thing, but I’m still on the fence about how I feel about an AI having that...

I tried to keep this short. I failed. I had intentions of coming on here to talk about work-related topics and how my entire life is probably about to change. It just goes to show that I never really have any idea what's going to happen when I got a couple of minutes to write and sit down to actually do so. I feel...

og post: https://spice.bearblog.dev/on-being-talentless/ Keep in mind I am just a random stranger from the Bearoverse who subscribes to her blog, and by all accounts I am someone whose opinion can easily be disregarded. But her words landed hard with me this evening. Reading this felt like looking at something...

This is a typography-first BearBlog theme built around restraint, legibility, and mood. No tricks. No visual noise. Just clean reading space and a soft accent system. QuietType exists for blogs that want to quiet down a little and, have an appreciation for the default theme. What It Is 3-color palette system Clean...

Those people who feared MODE was going to be some sort of AI implementation should breath a sigh of relief to know it's actually a three-day festival in a city that epitomizes everything that is wrong with our country right now. No wonder why the people outside the US were so confused about this. This does seem like...

Echo passed away last night. We gave her the best life we could, and she has been my Grandmother's shadow for the last 16 years. As I type these words my eyes well up in tears. How lucky we all were to have been around the same time as her. Nothing will fill the void you have left in our hearts. Shadow and Pixel are...

We can't seem to catch a break. Grandma is back in hospital again. I was only asleep for about three hours when my Mother came upstairs having a borderline-heart-attack. She was having trouble speaking, telling me that Grandma woke her up and said she needed to have the ambulance called. None of it seems to make any...

Despite all these attempts to start swinging the pendulum in the other direction, I am really struggling with my work environment lately. And by lately I mean the last three or four months. The last two have been especially taxing. When I was working at Meijer, I was there for just over seven and a half years. The...
