2025 was the year of Monk Mode, quiet environments and deep thinking.

I love putting these together becuase it reveals to me my obsessions over the past year.

What a year, what a year!

I’ve just finished Jenny Odell’s latest book ”Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock,” which is chock-full of mediations and ways to rethink the (western) modernized relationship to time.

Today I went digging back in my portfolio and tried to pin down when I switched over to using UI frameworks, instead of rolling my own components.

I read an article in Nature today about the difficulties of establishing a lunar standard time.

The city’s too crowded, no one goes there anymore.

I daresay… I got more fun this year??

Wow, what a year!
