This VaultX album for my Topps trading cards is awesome, if somehow much larger than I had anticipated 😅

A gray binder and a matching glasses case with ‘vaultx’ embossed on them are placed on a gray surface. A binder holds a collection of various baseball cards, each featuring different players in action poses and jersey designs. A collection of baseball cards featuring various players is organized in a binder.

📺 Onside: Major League Soccer ⚽️

Monday, March 10, 2025

Recently finished Onside: Major League Soccer, the documentary series on TV+ about the past MLS season. It was a nice and refreshing view compared to team-specific documentaries I’ve seen in the football (⚽️) world, and I really enjoyed the variety of discovering different teams, personalities, and players! For someone like me, based in Europe, it was super useful to learn more about this league and its personalities. I wish more teams were covered, but I’m assuming that this would be the case if the show was to get renewed for another few seasons… MLS has definitely had the perception of being the “soon-to-be in the Top 5 of football leagues in the world” for 15 years now and we’re still waiting to see it happen, but at least the marketing has been good and the level of play has increased significantly.

Fun day out today: friends, bike rides, and long walks in our former neighborhood 🌞 🧑‍🧑‍🧒

A group of people, including a child, are seated around a table with coffee cups, small toys, and water glasses. A colorful, striped basketball court is bustling with people playing and watching. A person in a black outfit stands on a street corner next to a colorful wall advertisement in French featuring a nurse and a message about resolving pain and headaches. A city square features ornate historic buildings, a central statue, and a striped pedestrian crosswalk under a clear blue sky. A marble table holds a colorful arrangement of assorted sweets and pastries on two decorative plates.

Tibz, what is it like living in Europe?

Delightful weather, sun, and light these past couple of days so we were able to to set up the balcony.

I was even able to hang out there for a little break from work and read thru my acquisition of Obvious State’s reprint of Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven 📚

A sunlit dining area features a wooden table, chairs, a paper lantern, and a view of a balcony with outdoor furniture. Several potted succulents and a leafy plant are arranged on a sunlit balcony with a white bench in the background. A rooftop terrace features a table and chairs surrounded by potted plants, overlooking city buildings under a clear blue sky. A blue mug with a design and a book titled 'Nevermore' are placed on a white table, with a lattice fence and climbing plants in the background.

Found some of my old journals — in notebooks I never truly completed, dating from the time (2017-2018) when I started dating my now wife, a time when I traveled around the world by myself for 9 months. Will be going through some “archiving and digitizing” of these across Day One and the built-in camera’s text scanning feature.

Very excited to revisit some of the most exciting time(s) of my life and our story!

Auto-generated description: A desk with a notebook, a patterned diary, a novel titled Un Jour de Rêve, a red pen, and handwritten notes.

Auto-generated description: A computer screen displays a quote from Sara Sheridan about reading old letters and journals, with a fingerprint icon below it.
