Style & Emacs Config: A Semantic HTML Reckoning
I woke up at 05:40, bothered by the fact that filenames lack a dedicated HTML tag. One thing led to another, and now I’m questioning every heading level on my blog. And now I can finally have breakfast.
This is one of the awesome things about having an espresso machine at home. I love watching the hot coffee “drilling” into the ice 📷. 🧊☕️☀️
Emacs Config Gems - Part 2
I continue my Emacs config series by first admitting I lied about Part 1 being an intro: this here is a second intro. I also seem to have some style obsessions. org-edit-special, registers, mark ring, and one or two rabbit holes, because of course 🐰

Emacs Config Gems - Part 1
Three weeks into my Emacs config project, and I’m still going. This post covers the first four blocks of my .emacs file on macOS — the “boot” sequence before the real stuff. After writing this for almost 2 hours (not including editing), I ended up with more questions than answers. Sounds about right.

Hello there red guy. Glad you’re enjoying the weather. Me? Eh. I think it’s back to the AC in a few. Keep it real. 📷
Two Weeks, Two Projects
Two weeks deep into Emacs config and a book idea about blogging. The Emacs tweaks are going great… The book? Not so much.
Been reading: Apple in China by Patrick McGee by Patrick McGee 📚.
Surprisingly informative. In a way, it’s like reading some of the history of Apple and how they became this successful. It’s not too critical of Apple, at least not yet.
