 title: LEGO keyboard stand

 Back in 2022, I built myself a Kyria, a split mechanical keyboard. One of the draws of a split keyboard is the ability to position the two halves independently to fit your body; it can really be quite comfy. But the downside is that you have two different pieces that can drift around your desk; add a couple of palm rests and it becomes four moving pieces that constantly need to be rearranged. After dealing with this issue for years, sometimes hardly using my Kyria out of frustration, I finally decided to build myself a solution, with LEGOs.

 I built a mud kitchen for my kids. It has a functional foot-pump-powered double sink, a pretend stove and oven, and some handy storage space. I had fun building it, and the kids seem to be having fun playing with it.

 title: 'Combo mods: A less error-prone alternative to home-row mods'
 date: 2022-02-16
+favorite: true
 summary: It didn't take long after getting my Keyboardio Atreus for me to try out home-row mods. I used them for several months and really wanted to like them -- it's so convenient to have all your modifiers on the home row -- but I could never get the timing configuration right. In their place, I discovered combo mods, which are almost as convenient and much less error-prone.

 title: My journey towards intentional technology use
 date: 2023-08-31
+favorite: true
 summary: I've always been fascinated by technology; it's so shiny and exciting, so full of potential uses. But sometimes those many uses are too much. Sometimes we use technology simply because it's there, and it gets in the way of what we truly care about doing. As my time and mental energy have become more scarce, and as technology has become more addictive and manipulative, my attitude towards the digital world has changed.

+<h2><a href="/reading/">Reading</a></h2>
+
+I do mini-reviews of the books that I read. Here are some that I've especially liked lately:
+
+{{ $favs := where (.GetPage "/reading").Pages "Params.book ratings" "intersect" (slice "great") }}
+
+<ul>
+{{ range (first 3 $favs.ByDate.Reverse) }}
+  <li>

+  </li>
+{{ end }}
+</ul>
+
+See more on the <a href="/reading/">reading page</a>.

+<h2><a href="/creations/">Creations</a></h2>
+
+I love to build things, both on computers and in the physical world. I've particularly enjoyed these ones:

+<h2><a href="/writing/">Writing</a></h2>
