NEVER TOO SMALL: DIY YouTuber’s Handcrafted Apartment, Portugal 31sqm/333sqft
Small space and soooo creative. Low how it accomodates a non square place
Just stuff I randomly find over the many weird and fun corners of the Internets.
Websites as gardens.
Keep Internet weird you, dong.
Surf it twice a day.
🍏 Browsing twice a day, keep the doctor away.

Hearing people be skeptical is always good. Do not trust and share by default. Inform yourself. It is too easy to fall for the confirmation bias. And even think people agree with you without even reading.
So crazy to see all the little edits made to those analog shots.
Edits are everywhere… And I am still on the side of less of them than more
This is just too beautiful! I love the record collection and all the art everywhere.
Du Beurre Han han han
Colors, then rails, then size, then what ? I forgot but I love that it all starts by how good does it look.
The fat has begun to break down and there’s nothing you can do to make that steam any better.
One quick thing about fat that’s also worth noting is that fat affects flavor release in a drink
generally, milk foams better the further it is from its use by date because it’s the sort of breakdown of these fats that reduce its foam ability. And milk that foams badly or milk that has this issue, you’ll hear it almost fizz in the pitcher afterwards.
No one ever regrets a surf, even in terrible conditions. Some of the most fun comes when expectations are low and the surf surprises us.
I’d rather use fewer things, create some of my own things, and pay for the rest of the things I decide I need to use.
When something’s free, that just means the cost is hidden.
I am all in for those weird vintage fonts from old gaming devices.
I always admire such minimalist small japanese inspired homes. I feel like this is where I would live without my second half of me that is the messy one.
Self compassion, mindfulness & other topics. Made me smile, made me want to cry. Qui aurait cru que je regarderais un podcast par une ancienne miss France.
Des images de surf, de l’amour de soi, cela marche bien sur moi.
Art is complicated and doing it right is even harder. In our consumerist civilisation, it is complex to do something for the sake of something. But I feel like we should be able to.
Doing instead of having
Such a great mantra. Love the way they talk about raising Billy and opening him on the world.
Testing one made me wanna see more about it.
This little marvel is like a Leica to me… it feels right in my hands.
I ain’t an expert but I feel like one when I use it.
When buddies are making a surf movie, I am all in.
I especially love the boards in that video. Would love to try them.
Gimme a band that sounds right and has great cover songs. I can listen to that for ours.
Be at the border of stupidity
“People are so good at what skateboarding is, I wanna be good at what skateboarding is not "
That part about drag, regular and goofy is so clear once you get it described that way
Funny to listen to Joel chatting about all and nothing
surfing as the journey, not always the destination
If we surf to connect, to attempt to decode nature, to be open to the transfer of energy from the sea to ourselves, to carve ourselves out some personal time then surfing is a form of therapy, of meditation, medicine
This is funny to check. I am always amazed by the progress made in image processing and how a computer can understand an image. Turning that to poetry is probably an amazing idea
That kind of game I could spend hours in trying to get all the elements. It is simple, no crazy UI but a crazy good simple UX. And lord I got the surfer. Time to get them all.
You often wonders when the term goofy comes from in surfing and skateboarding? Search no more. It is right here in front of you.
Sometimes, it is freaking cold but you still cannot avoid the ocean’s call
If I was sure of one thing. It is this. iA writer would do the best notebook ever. If they entered the physical world, it would be an object I would love. They proved me right, once again.
I like you better without the Internet

These sites are hidden from our everyday experiences because they are invisible to our internet navigators. Instead, our defaults are hyper-SEOified links where there is no clear person behind the content. When we encounter the kind of content created for a computer-first internet, alarm bells should sound in our heads.
boring as art
elevating the mundane
I downloaded the apps for five minutes each and then I deleted them one by one. I have done this on a number of occasions. Download, swipe swipe swipe, delete. I am left feeling more alone and less inspired.
“Sometimes Live goes where it need to goes”

Detach from the expectations of the internet. Take your time with projects because you owe it to yourself to make something original to you. There is no rush.
To desire to keep up with what is going on is nearly impossible in the world we live in. Whether that be the standards set by social media, tricks being done or the temporary styles that come and go. I advise anyone to develop their own relationship with whatever craft they take on.
“I am not where I want to be but I am not where I was”
“I am not different from you, I just learned how to do some tricks”
In real life, skating is an art form that requires constant sacrifice, physical pain and public embarrassment for the sake of an ephemeral few seconds of pure beauty. You have to fall a thousand times before you succeed. The Tony Hawk games aren’t concerned with that. They recreate the iterative satisfaction of skating — the feeling that, with enough practice, you can do something miraculous — without all the concussions, bloody knees and shattered wrists.
I shoot analog for a lot of reasons, but I always jokingly say the main reason is I can’t print a jpeg in my darkroom. I shoot for the print.
SURF FOR LOVE, NOT FOR BUSINESS
I assume most people don’t binge-read my logs, so I have no pressure to perform or narrow my scope like an entrepreneur would.
If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot. There’s no way around these two things that I’m aware of, no shortcut.
That is what the observer-participant dilemma is. We get to a swimming hole and I’m sitting there like, “Do I want to document this or do I want to have fun and swim?” Sometimes you can’t do both. I can’t just leave my camera out in the dirt somewhere while I’m swimming. It’s an either-or situation sometimes. So that’s what I mean, there were times I just ended up participating and not photographing stuff.
Video has been the currency for skateboarding for so long, teams would build up clips to make a video and that was the main goal. And now, everything is just shared on Instagram immediately. It has ruined the whole framework of how skate videos were made, how a lot of companies made money. But that’s really hard to do now because there’s just so much you can see online. People do save up video parts, but then they drop on the Thrasher site for free and people watch, and it feels like it has about a two-week shelf life. I think that’s why people look back to some of those older videos with nostalgia.
The best things to splurge on are the things you use the most. If you sit on a chair eight hours a day, then a nice chair is probably a good investment.
Ultimately, a thought is just a thought – it’s not reality. And we might do well to extend a healthy skepticism toward ones that show up within, especially those gnarly ones that tell us stories about ourselves that are negative or harmful
once you loosen up your brain by coming up with ten bad ideas, some good ideas may follow.
But here’s another thing: we’re not great at judging if an idea is good or bad. So write all of your ideas down. Go back and read through your bad ideas occasionally. Something might surprise you.
Many aspects of our lives are intentionally slow. We have rejected the traditional path, the daily grind, the rat-race and instead opted to try and make a living doing things we love. We do not strive for material wealth, we strive for time in Nature. We live in a world of beauty and wonder, shaped by forces of unfathomable magnitude and we refuse to let society blind us to that fact.
“Simplify your life. Don’t waste the years struggling for things that are unimportant. Don’t burden yourself with possessions. Keep your needs and wants simple and enjoy what you have. Don’t destroy your peace of mind by looking back, worrying about the past. Live in the present. Simplify!” ~ Henry David Thoreau

Amazing pastel colors
Talking to my neighbor about poop felt so much better than being addicted to my phone
Our ideal outcome as a company is not becoming the next Facebook (god forbid), it’s becoming the next Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan, a hot spring hotel in Japan, and one of the world’s oldest businesses (founded in 705 AD).
Nice podcast in French with Naje
Restez en colère, les enfants, c’est votre seule chance.
I’m fine right here is the response from the edge of the room, and that contentment is downright subversive.
