Nice, gotta try.

A person with an umbrella and a monk walk down a sidewalk lined with a metal wall under a sunny sky.

This was the last photo I shot during my recent visit to Chiang Mai, Thailand. I think it’s a good fit for #SilentSunday 📸🇹🇭

Letterboxd for Bear: https://robertbirming.com/letterboxd-bear/

Watched: Marty Supreme 🍿

Not my kind of movie. Too much shouting and screaming, and I didn’t find the story very interesting.

Watched: Snake Killer Season 1 📺

Terrible title, but I liked it, as with most Danish crime shows and movies. I have a feeling there will be a second season, and I also have a feeling that it will be less of a low-budget production.

High five: https://robertbirming.com/high-five/

Richest blogger in the cemetery - a few words on my (current) view when it comes to blogging and coffee buttons.

The Pixel Bear theme is my latest creation for Bear blog. A retro-inspired theme with a bunch of geeky details.

I finally got around to updating my Blogger’s toolbox page. It now contains 237 links (but who’s counting?) with everything from web accessibility to CSS shapes and beyond. Hope you find it useful. 🧑‍💻

Rather ruined than rabies: https://robertbirming.com/rather-ruined-rabies/

A helmet cleaning station is displayed on the left, while an emergency press button kiosk stands on the right, both set in an urban outdoor environment with motorcycles in the background.

Two kinds of machines I’ve seen on the streets of Chiang Mai and nowhere else: a helmet cleaner and an emergency button. The “don’t push the button” battle felt like a Muay Thai fight. 😊

It’s okay to quit blogging: https://robertbirming.com/okay-quit-blogging/

A vintage workshop features an assortment of tools, a table with various items, and an industrial fan on the wall.

I passed this vintage workshop while walking the streets of Chiang Mai, and snapped a shot. It almost feels like cheating to take photos of old stuff. It always looks so cool 😎

Bear status log: https://robertbirming.com/bear-status-log/

A cafe named Mac Café Chiang Mai is adorned with greenery on its facade and features signage related to Apple products.

I walked in and ordered a cappuccino.
The barista replied, “Here’s what I found on the web for cupcake chinos.”

A busy street scene shows a diverse group of people walking, some holding phones and beverages.

People busy on their phones while a blind girl is trying to get by. I’m not saying I’m Mr. Perfect. It could just as well have been me absorbed in my phone. It just feels sad when the contrast becomes so clear.

I just added a library of CSS styles to my other blog. Even though they’re made for Bear, you might still find some inspiration no matter what blogging platform you’re using.
