I have an issue when I see something fake or unauthentic, especially when it comes to people who either fool or BS me or others.

What triggered me to write this post was one person in my network, who was a regular poster and a very active member. One day, I saw a post from them that said something like: “The most satisfying thing about starting a new job is logging out of LinkedIn and feeling grateful that you don’t have to check it for a while.” They also disabled comments.

The other day, a friend of mine shared an exciting moment—they received a ♡ from a very famous person on Twitter/X. Given their current follower count and reach, this was quite a thing! It made him proud to be noticed by someone he “follows” (someone I respect too, for that matter).

And honestly, it made me happy as well! I hold my friend, and their contributions, in such high regard – so such recognition shouldn’t come as surprise:)

Wish you lots of health, happiness, and success in 2025! 🎉 May you feel love from the people who matter to you and even from the strangers you encounter every day!

As we step into a new year, an idea keeps buzzing in my head… What if big social media platforms just stopped working? Imagine a world filled with meaningful conversations, vibrant communities, and personal blogs—where we don’t spend time discovering the most-watched TikTok video of 2024¹.

I always imagined writing a post with this title while lounging in a fancy place, like a cozy flat with a crackling fireplace, or maybe on a beach with the sound of waves in the background. Instead, here I am, sitting at my desk in front of my computer, reflecting on what turned out to be one of the happiest 12 months of my life.

After 11 years with DayOne and 2 years with Logseq, I migrated to Obsidian. Here’s how it went. See the font and colors I use, daily templates, and how I imported data from old tools to the new one.

I’m a 50% marathon runner now! 🏃‍♂️🎉 It’s dark outside!

I just finished my first coffee table made of oak. It looks nice, but it’s not just another oak table, this is my first one. Moreover, this one has history involving unfinished shelves, broken corners, accidents and many more.

Here are some photos from the making of pierniki in Toruń, Poland, 2024. When I look at these pictures, I can almost smell the gingerbread. The recipe is quite simple, you need:

• honey
• cinnamon
• pepper
• nutmeg
• ginger
• cloves
• flour

and then you mix it all together and bake it 🤷🏻‍♂️.

Oh, and if you happen to be in Toruń, you should definitely visit The Living Museum of Gingerbreads. It’s a great place to learn about the history of gingerbread and see how it’s made. Enjoy!

Kasia and Tadej are the best in Tour de France 2024! I’m doing great, running a lot, and reading the last book from the Wheel of Time series. We went to an aviation event, and I’m working on a big woodworking project. Life is great!

I’m still running! But I no longer have a drone. I’ve been watching the Giro d’Italia, and I’ve been tidying up the garage and garden shed. I’ve also been reading the Wheel of Time series and connecting my Day One memories with Logseq.
