A practical crypto use case: Calculated Stable Loans

We deserve to be in a crypto bear market. The latest bull market was based on cynical speculation in the form of memecoins and digital asset treasuries. While there were all-time-highs, crypto never…

Back to blogging

Did anyone else have a problem logging in using the Keychain extension? It looks like I had a timeout issue. It's hard to tell what went wrong when there are so many moving parts. Anyway, I switched…

Almost exactly 10K

Around 11:30 I checked my step count and thought: Great, I only need 43 more steps to reach 10,000. Then I forgot about it, sat down at my desk and almost missed my goal. Otherwise not a super fun da…

Lifting smarter and harder

While I've been going to a weightlifting gym since December, I hadn't joined the powerlifting classes yet. They're usually fully booked before I can make plans, and the suggested accessory program is…

Another heatwave

There's a heatwave in the Netherlands again, although less severe than in the Mediterranean and shorter than earlier this summer. Still, a Hungarian trucker decided to jump into the water from the 9m…

Round numbers

Yesterday I was happy to notice that the gym has 1kg weights now. Actually, it was a girl making fun of them who made me notice them. Previously the lightest weights were 1.25kg and a few rings of a…
