I’ve started new thoughts thread about what skateboarding means to me. Not how to ollie. Not how to not get hurt. What it actually means to stand on a board and choose something difficult, pointless, and entirely your own. On fear, identity and time.

As much as I’d like to think of myself as a super-agentic person, turns out this gives me a lot of rest. Was unexpected to realize about myself.

Finished the first part of my new project. It’s nothing fancy yet, just a clock, but I have quite big plans for its development. I’m an almost total beginner in electronics, so I learned a lot from this project:

how to program ATtiny85 using #Arduino Uno as a programmer;
how to use DS3231 timer IC;
how to use transistors to control current;
how to use a power block to power your circuit (instead of Arduino);
how quickly ... https://micro.disordered.me/2026/01/15/finished-the-first-part-of.html
