Iceberg Collapse
Both pretty and terrifying at the same time. Some of that ice may have been thousands of years old.
Long haul flights
I just got back from a long haul flight SIN-HEL-BRU and saw this from Kottke.
Not sure which part I can relate most to… There’s so much in this article I need to link to…
Half of Economy appears to have boarded directly from bed. A woman is wearing what looks like patterned pajamas.
By the time I reach 40C, my overhead bin space has been taken by someone three rows ahead who brought a bag the exact dimensions of a small refrigerator.
Demon Hunters
You could say I’ve either been living under a rock, or just suddenly gotten old. I (vaguely) heard (via the radio!) Golden from Demon Hunters before, but never paid much attention. Until my kid heard it. Now it’s on repeat as my 3.5 year old doesn’t stop dancing to it.
I’ve just realised this video has 1.4bn views!!! Like how did I miss this?! At least I didn’t miss Gangam Style.

Night Train
I love the idea of more trains, but let’s look at how Japan (and, increasingly, China) does it. Night trains are romantic and all, but in all fairness, who wants to travel for 12hrs+ on a train with barely working WiFi, no (fancy) restaurant or entertainment, no proper working desk, and sleeping in a metal sardine box. All that at €300? You do this once, maybe, as an experience, and then never again.
Scheduling posts on a static blog
One of the things I missed moving from WordPress to Hugo: scheduled posts. WP just… does that. Set a future date, and forget about it.
And static site generators don’t… The site only rebuilds when you git push, and that’s it. 😢
Why schedule posts, you ask? Because at times I write 3-4 posts in a day, and I don’t want to spam. ¯\(ツ)/¯ I have a rule that there should only be a single published post a day, and if I know I’m out of topics (especially for FlatTurtle) I tend to add a week or 2 between posts to spread it out evenly.
