Still Surfing #5 ¶ Notes, links, and other things I'd like to share. Could do it through my micro-blog, but that's a bit of a nicer format, isn't it? 🎧 Hidden Brain – The Cowboy Philosopher ¶ A podcast I enjoyed for so many reasons! It's about archiving and cataloging music, American folk music, to be specific. It's about a true American archetype, the conman, huckster, crook and genius. And it…
Copy Markdown between Obsidian and Microsoft Loop, including images ¶ TL;DR - There is no sync. Copy and paste the Markdown, and Base64-encode the images first. Over the last months, there was an attempt by Microsoft to give plain-text Markdown formatting a bit of an entryway into its walled garden of Word, SharePoint and Microsoft Loop. In Word Online, I can use # Heading to create a real…
Thoughts on AI in 2026 ¶ Like everyone in the field I have some mildly interesting thoughts on AI in its different facets. Want to hear them? Writing a script that does exactly what I want it to do is superior to any SKILL.md that describes a format. Even if LLMs are impressively great at it and it works nine out of ten times, as soon as the model changes or whatever, it's getting tricky.…
Serendipity Drive or Autopilot? Whatever, I made an app. ¶ Of course this was made with Cursor and Claude Code (or better Codex 5.3 when the model came out). Like every aging web dev I wanted that feeling again - to actually finish something in the thin slice of time between the day job, where decision fatigue kicks in earlier and earlier, and whenever I finally revive from it. So love online…
How to use MS PowerToys Advanced Paste with OpenRouter ¶ Microsoft PowerToys has an Advanced Paste toy to transform the clipboard content on paste. They implemented an AI mode early on, but it was limited to OpenAI and local LLMs. Since provider like OpenRouter.ai are very popular for reasons, it was an often requested feature . With PowerToys 0.96 it's finally possible to use OpenAI compatible…
Websites are for humans. ¶ The following text has not been touched by any LLM. There might be plot holes and loose, untied ends. It's called "The Weave". It will come together at the end. For a few days I noticed these weird surveillance camera videos in my Instagram feed (which I'm sometimes scrolling through despite knowing better). I saw a bunch of cat videos that led me to believe they weren't…
Content Creation and Curation ¶ Who am I doing this for? -- me asking myself Over the years, I realized that rather than being an artist[1], I am more of a curator. I like to curate[2] other people's work and add context. Since there are only so many people who want their work curated by me, I have to come up with my own creations. That reminds me of a photographer I asked at an event with other…
I Love Coffee ¶ I love drinking coffee. I'm not a coffee connoisseur or anything, probably the opposite, but I enjoy drinking coffee all the time. Here are a few things around this mundane habit: Dark roast is my favorite. I know it has less caffeine, but I like the strong flavor. I found that in the black oily beans of Starbucks' Dark Roast. For a little bit more than a year I allowed myself the…
360 Pano Photography ¶ For a few years, I had been thinking about getting an Insta360 X2 Action Cam to document places (I'm not much of an action guy ;-)). With the Insta360 X5 on the horizon, the older X2 models became a bit more affordable, so I got one. After understanding the different ways and modes to take pictures, I ended up just using the 360 mode and rendering any other formats afterward…
My Record Collection ¶ Every record collector knows Discogs . It's the de facto standard for cataloging your vinyl collection. But what's even better is that they provide a free API 1 to access your collection data. And since I'm already maintaining my collection there, why not use it to display my records on my website? Getting the API Token ¶ Getting an API token from Discogs is straightforward:…
