Pursuits That Can’t Scale

Worthwhile investments, in my experience, and occasional treats that make my day more delightful.

Things worth spending on

I didn’t expect to write about my toolkit again so soon since I already made a big update in January 2023, but here we are.

A summary of what I've been up to. Updated periodically.

I recently switched to Sublime Text for coding, definitely feels more polished and snappy, has everything I need for a simple stack HTML + CSS + some JS. But I have to say, Brackets's Live Preview is still supreme.

Wishing everyone a happy 2024 with great health, prosperity, and immense happiness and fulfillment 🎊🙏

Tinkering with microinteractions has a calming effect on me

Finally switched over to the iPad mini from the 12.9. Truly feels like a real tablet, plus the Apple Pencil makes it an amazing combo. The past week I've been reading more and taking more notes. Random scribbling is a joy. Surfing in general feels fun and easy.

A local coffee shop I've been going to for the past month always includes this lil fortune cookie guy 🫶

After days of tweaking, I’m finally happy with a new direction for my site as a digital garden, or at least the start of it

This resonates. https://www.workingtheorys.com/p/pursuits-that-cant-scale

how do y'all usually like to celebrate your birthday?

New post: There are things worth paying for, especially when what I get in return is priceless. thu-le.com/blog/things-worth-spending-on

Been watching / re-watching rom coms from the early 2000s... I feel like we don't get movies like those anymore

Pardon the mess. My colleague and I have started a mini brew bar ☕️

Joker: Folie à Deux is such a U-turn 🫠

Anyone using Anytype? I’ve been trying the app for a few days out of curiosity, the concept of objects and relations is definitely interesting, something Obsidian couldn’t get me get used to.

It’s been a minute. Here’s everything in my toolkit for 2024. https://medium.com/@tple/my-toolkit-for-2024-4c8706f03b2e

This is a wonderful piece. I wish I came across it earlier, but now it can be a reminder for myself 💌 https://chias.blog/2021/in-defense-of-disorder-on-career-creativity-and-professionalism/

In the spirit of digital gardens and having recently completed another year around the sun, it felt perfect to share some of the things I've learned.

I have never been so excited about a keyboard, and a mechanical one at that 👀

Can't wait to be in Taiwan in late April for vacation 🧋

Added some photos to my Now page to give it some life 🎞️

Added a lil hover effect, it was fun learning to tweak the transition in CSS. I still can’t figure out how to style the tooltip 🥲

Coming from the 11 Pro, I'm definitely impressed by the 15 Pro's camera

It's been a while, how is everyone doing?

Anyone using an iPad mini in their day to day for your work and personal? What are your primary use cases? Would you pick a larger iPad?

I've been using the 14" MacBook Pro since early 2022, love its portability after using the 15" Intel MBP for years prior. Work recently upgraded my Intel MBP to the 16" MBP M3, and man I forgot how the extra screen real estate can make a world of difference

Wrote about my journey of building out my garden 🌱 thu-le.com/blog/why-i-rebuilt-this-site

I finally took control of how I want to keep up with different news sources (with an ad-free experience) and especially blogs I follow, not sure why I never tried RSS until recently 🤯 And feeeed is perfect ✨ https://apps.apple.com/vn/app/feeeed-rss-reader-and-more/id1600187490

I might have taken it too far and auto-layout-ed my entire Figma flows 🤪 Probably going to turn out too rigid for my own good, but it does feel satisfying when you don’t have to manually rearrange other flows and complementary components.

I started watching Law & Order SVU and now I can't stop 😀

Woke up to this, my entire Sunday ⛈️ 🥲

Just made a Now page to summarize what I’ve been up to ☀️ This def feels easier to maintain than an About page where I think I would ramble quite a bit https://thu-le.com/now
