Today I have stumbled upon this AI Song from Kurt Cobain singing Hey by Pixies. I am not a specialist on peoples voices or anything like that but I do think it sounds like Kurt Cobain.

Ok, here I am already getting too excited about this 30 day blogging challenge that I gave myself. I started thinking that I should have a different blog here and that I could blog in Portuguese and a third one that would be a photo blog. The Portuguese blog I would write less often perhaps once a month and I would write about interesting things that I’ve been reading in English.

The main reason I’ve started posting again on this blog, is that I like to look back at old blog posts, like this one. There is something special about them. They magically take me back to that time and let me revive those moments of my life. Having those memories registered in this blog is definitely something that motivates me to write again here.

Today I had a four hour drive and as usually when I am traveling by myself I put on some podcasts to listen to. Internet History Podcast by Brian McCullough from Techmeme Ride Home had an episode that dropped on Saturday interviewing Jan Brandt whom worked at AOL and was responsable for the marketing campaign that gave the world a billion AOL CDs. I knew about the AOL CDs because they were even a thing here in Brazil for a while, but I didn’t know (spoilers ahead) that the CDs were available at Blockbuster, in their sample box which was given to customers for every three movies they rented, and would contain products samples (like popcorn and candies), Blockbuster discounts and the AOL CD.

When I made the first post for the challenge I’m doing this month, which involves writing a post and a journal entry every day, I encountered some scripting issues with the setup I’m using Hugo and Netlify. I couldn’t figure out what was wrong and decided to upgrade the Hugo version, even though I knew it could potentially bring more issues, such as theme incompatibilities due to breaking changes. Fortunately, that didn’t happen.

Back in 2019 I did a few entries in the journaling app Day One. I didn’t go to far on my journaling journey but a couple of weeks ago I was surprised by a notification on my phone that went something like: On this day 25th of May. Tapping on the notification allowed me to read what I wrote and I thought it was really cool, so I decided to start journaling again.
