Ceder Avalon

A print copy of Designing Data-Intensive Applications, 2nd edition

Just received my author copies of the second edition of DDIA! After years of seeing it only on-screen, holding the final print book in hand is very special. @chris.blue

Absolute unit.

An acrylic painting of super-deformed great tit. It's very round bird with yellow belly, small, black head with white cheeks. It's back is greenish grey. Eheheh, tit. I still can't believe it's called "tit" in English. I mean, tits are great, so I kind of get it. But it's weird when you're foreigner.

For reasons unknown to science, I have completely missed RAYE's hit single "Where Is My Husband!" until yesterday. It's very catchy, great song. I've been playing it on loop.

Full context, I'm a 35-year old single man. It's very remarkable hearing this song. Here's my question.

Where is my wife?

One thing that really helped me is Wu Wei (taoism). Not forcing things. Letting nature simply grow, inkeeping with the invariable truth that human beings are also nature.

As societal pressure lessens, you first enter the valley of "what do I do now?". Only then do you have space for new ambitions.

This is what I sign in to Bluesky for.

Isn't her name Alma?

Anyway, cultured post. Approved.

Excellent ambition! Monster Hunter armor is top tier.

I kinda wanna make this monster hunter armor next, after I finish the FFXIV paladin build. It’s so pretty. Their artists have kinda been killin it in Wilds

There's something incredibly stylish about this picture as a whole.

There's something striking about this imagery. Good stuff, thanks for sharing the artwork.

I'm actually not mad about Bluesky.

The last thing I remember about Jack Dorsey's original Twitter was the extreme volume of pointless "For you" notifications. Things drove me crazy, so much so that I resented logging in.

I expected something similar on Bluesky, but I'm alright with it. So far.

Epic.

I put in the em dashes by hand.

Big ups for the ever visceral and stylish game Nuclear Throne. Much respect for the continued updates, @vlambeer.com .

Monster Hunter let's goooooooo

Instant classic. The colors and shadows give it a sharp impression. The straight lines seem deliberate, as if the image both emphasizes and defies nature at the same time.

Hello to all, my name is Ceder Avalon. After years of putting it off, I'm finally on Bluesky.

I've been completely off the grid for a long time, but I'm finally ready to connect to the ever-buzzing internet hive mind.

I like Monster Hunter, Dungeons & Dragons, music, coding and self-actualization.
