Kai Gulliksen Blog

As a heavy user of the bookmarking service Linkding I was delighted when this post from Cory Dransfeldt announcing his iOS app Ribbon showed up in my RSS reader.

May is finally here, one of the best months of the year.

I happened upon this post from David when browsing Bubbles and thought it was an interesting question, so I figured I chime in.

Introducing Retro Corner.

From The Art Of Not Asking Why: I discovered another person to follow this week, and as I reached out via email, I realized this had become somewhat of a habit for me: writing emails to other bloggers.

If you’re like me and are always on the lookout for new and interesting blogs to add to your RSS reader then you should, as the title suggests, take a look at Bubbles.town.

One thing I find myself doing quite often is that I’ll sit down to write a blog post about something that interests me or that I’ve been thinking about, and before I even get through the first paragraph I find myself thinking: “There is no point in this.

Every year, without fail, when spring rolls around I get the urge to change things around.

The ultra talented artist Paul Chadeisson just released another stunning piece of work on his YouTube channel.

Remember when I wrote about feeling an itch to buy some pens and a notebook?

Terraink A neat little tool for making cool looking maps.

This has been shared in so many places already, but in case you’ve somehow missed it here is Commander Reid Wiseman’s photo of our planet taken from the window of Orion: It makes me so happy that humans are once again vising the Moon.

For the last week or I’ve slowly become obsessed with the idea of trying to add more analog tools to my life.

For the longest time I’ve wanted the ability to post shorter posts/thoughts to my website without cluttering the main blog feed and to further embrace the rule of POSSE.

I’ll be honest, I’m not thrilled with how this one ended up.

I don’t spend nearly as much time doing photography as I would like to (because I don’t leave the house much) and I’m even worse at sharing my photos.

I never got around to doing one of these in February as life was a little bit busy.

I’m currently enjoying a week off work for winter vacation and since we didn’t have any major plans for this week I thought I’d spend the time to make some upgrades to this website that I’ve been wanting to get to for a while.

Still exploring, still trying to figure things out.

I took a bit of a break from posting these at the end of last year, but now it is time to bring them back.

If there is one thing I am terrible at and need to work on improving it is letting things go and leaving things be, until the time arrives when something can actually be done about said thing.

About a year and a half ago I wrote about my system for saving bookmarks in Obsidian and how happy I was with that system.

New year, new art!

I’m not much of one for New Year’s resolutions.

The year is rapidly coming to an end which means that I am oh so busy both at work and home (oh my god there is so much stuff left to do!!

Last night I had a bit of a hard time falling asleep.

You know how I wrote about being sick and feeling like crap about three weeks ago?

After a month of being in and out of being sick and feeling like crap I finally got around to finishing a new artwork, and it feels great!

It’s my birthday today.

After finally leaving the clutches of Adobe I was looking over my list of subscriptions to see if there was anything else I could drop to help save a little money.

Yesterday I cancelled my Adobe subscription.

I realised I’ve yet to share my Control Center set-up.

Some time way back I was looking for a way to get notified on my phone when Blender had finished rendering.

We’re slowly approaching the end of 2025 and I suspect the coming weeks are going to slowly (and then very suddenly) become quite busy.

Just having fun with some brutalist interiors.

November is here so it’s time for another batch of links.

It’s been a little while since I posted some progress updates about this little roguelike game I’m attempting to develop.

Ruben writing on his blog Rubenerd: You know the line that you shouldn’t ascribe to malice what can be explained by incompetence?

If there is one thing I would love to do more of it’s modeling spaceships.

Here is a handful of photos I took on our first day in Prague.

In just a few hours I’m headed to the airport and flying to Prague where we’ll be spending the rest of the week.

Here’s a small handful of images I took during our stay in Gothenburg.

Earlier today the family and I arrived in Gothenburg, Sweden for a short autumn vacation trip.
