I need to clean up my habits. Keep forgetting to post here. :/

So, you know your average wall. On it sits your average house spider. Nothing weird or strange really.

What I'm wondering is: what IS the spider doing? I mean, is it resting? Does it ponder the meaning of life? It probably can't see very far. What made it pick that spot to sit still, and why? Can it be sleeping? If it isn't, why isn't it moving somewhere? Surely there must be nicer places to "hang", even for spiders?

One of the most intriguing articles I've read this year. Great holiday read.

I say, some amazing acting in Criminal (#CriminalNetflix), especially by Tennant & Atwell, but the entire show is great.

In the "what country has the most boring daytime TV?", where UK has "Houses of Parliament Channel" and some countries have endless half-empty church masses, Sweden is currently in the lead with "Forum".

It has hours on end, back to back, of boring non-styled Powerpoints presented by monotone presenters, on topics that at best is semi-related to the very local municipality the presenter comes from.

...and here I was, thinking it couldn't get any weirder. #narcissism

Amazing for all the wrong reasons.

...and...inbox zero again. It is always nice to clean up. Wonder how long it will last for this time. :)

Hmm...most of the "we've made our app handle dark mode!" companies have misunderstood. Pure black (#000) as the main background isn't what we are after.

A very dark grey (i.e "almost black") usually works a lot better, and as an added bonus, pure black can then still be used to create subtle shadows.
