    • Why I made a DeGoogle directory

      Visit mighil.com/degoogle tycrek/degoogle sat in my bookmarks for a long time. Whenever I got annoyed at some Google product I'd open it, skim until I found something that looked decent, and move on. Nothing fancy about it -- just a big list someone cared enough to keep.

    • Balan: The Boy (film, 2026)

      The film follows a mother and son on the run from their past, and it wears that premise beautifully. The cinematography is earthy, warm, and specific -- every frame feels lived-in rather than staged. What stayed with me most is how boldly the film handles its women.

    • Are we going to Johor?

      A couple of months ago, I flew back to China through Kuala Lumpur -- Kozhikode to Kuala Lumpur, then Kuala Lumpur to Chengdu. Nothing unusual about the route, except for one detail: it was on AirAsia, which had briefly started flying out of Kozhikode.

    • Playing with Georgia

      Georgia is a timeless typeface that comes free on almost every computer. No CDN, no @font-face, no extra requests. At the defaults it's soft and classy -- the kind of look that still holds up. A little negative tracking and a slight vertical stretch go a long way.

    • All new bear blog CSS playground

      A while back I shared a small tool for styling Bear blogs without wrestling with DevTools overrides: bear.css.observer. I've improved the UI a bit since then. The panel is cleaner, the editor is easier to live with, and the overall flow feels less like a hacked-together demo.

    • Micro-animations for the web

      I'm by no means a designer. I just love experimenting with this sort of thing. There are plenty of courses and articles about animations and micro-interactions online, but I've never really followed any of them.

    • The void and the crown

      He stood in the dust of the market road and looked at the blood drying on his knuckles. The crowd had drawn back from him in a wide and silent ring. He could see it in their eyes. They did not see the boy he was but a thing of violence and rust.

    • Notes from building Tinkerfont

      Your browser does not support the video tag. I'm a generalist. I design, I code, I end up in a lot of places where typography matters but isn't really the job. Reviewing a client's staging site. Onboarding to a codebase I didn't write.

    • One dog, one bad afternoon

      I don't think about this much anymore, but it came back to me recently while I was thinking back on second grade. It's the only time in my life a dog has truly scared me, and I figured it was worth writing down. My parents both worked, so one of them would drop me off at school in the morning.

    • Soumya

      It's 3:43 AM and I'm awake because of a dream. I'd gone to get water, and on my way back to bed, instead of falling back asleep, I found myself lying there with my eyes open, thinking about second grade.

    • I don't know why she came to mind today.

      Just, out of nowhere, a flash. Her face. The tree. The white saree. And then everything came flooding back at once. Achamma. That's what we called her. My dad's mother. By the time I really knew her, she was already old. My grandfather -- Achachan -- had already passed. So she stayed with us.

    • Notes from building invoicemon

      The license thing is new. It's fairly inexpensive, and it helps justify the time I've put into developing this project. The licensed features -- backups, business defaults, encrypted cloud sync across browsers, and email tools -- are things I think are mainly useful for small businesses or…

    • the school photo

      Found an old school photo today. One of those yearly ones where they line everyone up and tell you to smile and half the kids look vaguely traumatized. He's in it. We were not friends at the time. For a few years, actually, he made things pretty unpleasant.

    • the inference reckoning

      the inference bills came. and did not stop coming. they had known it was expensive. what they had not known was that it would devour them. that every token generated would cost more than the revenue it produced. that the mathematics of it was not a temporary condition but a law.

    • Cafés in Chengdu for remote work (成都远程办公咖啡馆清单)

      I work remotely and live in Chengdu, so I end up café and bakery hopping quite a bit. These are some places I go sometimes apart from the usual chains -- some are small local neighborhood coffee shops, some are more specialty or slightly fancier cafés, and a few aren’t even cafés in the strict…

    • the hot zone (book, 1994)

      The Hot Zone is one of those books that gets under your skin. Richard Preston doesn't soften anything. He describes what the virus actually does to a person. The hemorrhaging. The organ liquefaction.
