Exemplary humanship: Kindness costs nothing, but brings great value. Politeness isn’t difficult, but makes you a master. Humility is available to all, but makes those who practice it seem unique.

Browsing: Even the dogs have started to notice The past three weeks, I’ve been shouting my good feelings into the aether. The other day, I tooted: I have regained happiness in my mornings, clarity in my thoughts, creativity in my writing... https://birming.com/2026/05/16/browsing-even-the-dogs-have/

Stockholm Burger Fest 2026 — thought I’d beat the bun-ch by getting here before opening. That was a mi-steak and a rare experience. 🍔 #hamburger

Exemplary humanship A tennis video about Roger Federer's sportsmanship got me thinking about something much bigger: courtesy, humility, and what it means to just be human.

📺 Golden Boys (2026) ★★★½ Not sure how well known the Trustor story is outside Sweden, but here it was huge — and people still remember it. Almost 30 years later, this series gives a fascinating look into what was really going on.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ View full review on @popfeed.social

Full of life: https://birming.com/2026/05/14/210846/ My nephew just turned 10. Big dreams, big confidence, big smile, and a joy for life that’s hard to put into words.

At a birthday party at my sister’s place. Nephew is turning 10. I have a feeling he will be just as happy when he’s 100.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ 🥳📸

Browsing: being alone is awesome 🔗 do you ever have moments where you fear of being alone? perhaps you see your friends thriving with a mortgage, a husband…

Browsing: Make Email Fun Again! from amanda untangled 🔗

Added music and workouts to my /now page. Most of it auto-updates from my feeds, which some might call cheating. But I’d rather have it current than some of those now pages that never seem to be updated. The intro section I still write myself every week. ✏️

A calm and beautiful moment in between jobs in Saltsjö-Boo. 📸

I’ve played around a lot with creating automation scripts and other toys this week. Much trial and error. Both fun, instructive, and sometimes a bit frustrating. Sorry for having flooded your feeds, but practice makes perfect, right? 😊📡

Browsing: Nicola Losito 🔗 This week on the People and Blogs series we have an interview with Nicola Losito, whose blog can be found at nicolalosit…

I discovered that Hevy, the app I use for workouts, has an API. Managed to put together a script that automatically publishes finished workouts to my microblog. These things never cease to amaze me. 😎✏️

Made a new version of my Micro.blog + Bear Blog photo gallery. Quite happy with how it turned out. The add-on has been updated too. ✏️

Is it just me or has restless leg syndrome become more common lately? I see it everywhere all the time.

Just a little test sharing from Crucial Tracks to see how it looks in the new widget I’m working on.

⭐ Lucky Again (2026) ★★★★★ I love her new brand album. So many good songs. I’ll probably have it on repeat this weekend. View full review on @popfeed.social

Added a new Matrix-inspired "Terminal" option to the Bearming theme palettes collection.

🎥 Limitless (2011) ★★★★ Great entertainment! Those pills do sound tempting, but I’ll stick to Swedish fika. View full review on @popfeed.social

Almost 50 years old and still one of my absolute favorite “drum songs”. 🥁 #music #drums

Found another one of those lovely utility boxes made to look like the building they belong to. #stockholm #sweden

Shot this one during a walk around the block this morning. No idea what the building is, but I think it looks cool.

Yet another Bluesky add-on for Bear blog. This one lets you display a feed of posts.

This lovely little retro toy car has a built-in radio you can turn on with a switch. No batteries or charging, simply wind it up with a key and you’re ready to roll. 😎

Using Bluesky and Bear blog? You might wanna check out my new Bluesky widget.

Beautiful weather here in Stockholm today. First time this year I get to wear my “IndieWeb is Punk” t-shirt without having to wear something over it.

From the International Workers’ Day march here in Stockholm today. https://birming.com/2026/05/01/from-the-international-workers-day/

Next out inspired by the Build with Micro.blog page: an automatically updated now page for my Bear blog. ✏️

Decided to add a “status” category to my microblog. Just a short weekly update about what I’m currently up to. This is the first. 📡

Vincent launching Build with Micro.blog of course gave me a gazillion ideas. First out, a bookshelf for my Bear blog. ✏️

Caught this “follow the white rabbit” moment on my way home from work today. 🐇

The last client today offered me a ride, in a rowing boat. Perfect way to end the day. 🚣😍 https://birming.com/2026/04/30/the-last-client-today-offered/

Walking into this neighborhood almost felt like stepping into one of the cool paintings by the Swedish artist Simon Stålenhag. 👽

Still and beautiful morning on Tyresö. These lighter days make everything… lighter.

Finished watching: Train Dreams 🍿 Great movie! Both beautiful and sad. Makes you think what all the rush is about. ”Hey, you better hold on to something.”

Decided to add a feedroll as a complement to my blogroll and postroll. All of those pages are powered by Micro.blog. ✏️
