14 years ago, I bought my first carbon bike - a road bike. I’m catching the “gravel bike” fever after borrowing my boyfriend’s for 30 minutes of offroading. So I’m now stalking bike options and figuring out what might be best for me.

JavaScript is mental now with deno — forget node npm package.json node_modules and everything you growed up on. This 🦕 changes everything!

Add VSCode (and its builtin terminal) to your mobile devices! Edit your code and projects from a browser, backed by a modest virtual machine that hosts your code files and directories.

This is a slight merge between my 🇮🇪 Grammy’s Apple Pie recipe and the amazing 🇳🇱 Dutch Appeltart you’ll find all over the Netherlands. I’ve had it from Villa Zeezicht in two visits 25 years apart - and their’s is amazing!

I’m now migrating off of WordPress and a paid web hosting plan, to a free* website using Hugo and GitLab. It nicely leverages markdown and makes posting content from an editor a breeze.
