I like to read, learn, watch good films and series, experience live music with friends, walk and hike with our dog, fix and build stuff, discuss books with others, practice skepticism, challenge and improve my understanding of everything, camp in the mountains, travel slowly, spend time in Italia, and enjoy good food, wine, liquor, mixed drinks and craft beer.

🐹🎶 In 1998, the web danced to hamsters.

Hampsterdance began as a lighthearted bet between Canadian art student Deidre LaCarte & her sister: who could get the most traffic with a single webpage? Her site of dancing hamster GIFs went viral—before going viral was even a thing. It became one of the web’s first memes.

Today, the domain is parked—but the #WaybackMachine lets you relive its pixelated glory: https://web.archive.org/web/19991222185046/http://www.hampsterdance.com/

The Story Composer took a lot of work, I’m really proud of it, even though it still needs a bit more polishing.

There are only paid libraries to do this kind of stuff in react-native, so I had to learn rn-gesture-handler to build it and make it work properly and performantly.

On the bright side, we can extend this with new features and keep the whole experience simple and familiar.

Prepare for the inevitable Eternal Story September 😉

Injunction prevents FTC from investigating Media Matters

A judge for the U.S. District Court in Washington has issued an injunction preventing the Trump administration's Federal Trade Commission from investigating Media Matters for America, the liberal media watchdog organization. Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan said Media Matters was likely to succeed in its claim that the probe violated its free speech rights. The investigation came in response to Media Matters' 2023 story about hate speech on the X social media platform since it was bought and renamed from Twitter by Elon Musk. Sooknanan said it should “alarm all Americans when the Government retaliates against” those involved in public debate.
