Brain Baking: transforming personal thoughts about thoughts into well-digestible material. The reflective aroma of burnt nervous tissue. Includes a crispy crust of relations between technology , philosophy and the world .
Hey! I'm Wouter Groeneveld, a level 35 Brain Baker living in Belgium. I currently find myself teaching, writing, programming, researching, and of course baking bread! Brain Baking is my way to inspire myself and others to ponder and learn.

If you found my bakings amusing and/or helpful, you can buy me a coffee - if you don't mind I'll use it to enjoy a cup of tea instead. I also like to hear about your own bakings via Mastodon or e-mail. Thanks!

I am not happy with the complexity I introduced in my RSS feeds and on the site. The culprit: the addition of /notes, or “fleeting thoughts”. I want to offer just The One RSS feed.
Should I terminate the note experiment and relax my “real” blogging rules that state an article should ideally have > 1000 words?
Should I throw out notes in the feed and keep everything else as-is? What’s the point of streaming those to the site then?
Or should I just not care?
@rubenerd Do you have a set of scripts on rubenerd.com that converts a typical youtube embed in Hugo to your nice image-with-play-button thingie? I’m tired of iframes and would like to adopt some sort of automation for this. Thanks!
Is there a decent alternative to Google Scholar? I’ve been franticly (manually) scanning abstracts for a systematic literature review we’re writing, and suddenly I have to “prove that I’m not a robot” and select bridges or boats on crappy pictures! This is not only irritating, but also completely breaks my workflow.
Remember when I screwed in a custom PCB on the SNES mini controllers to make them wireless? Well, I might have made a mistake: I miss wires. The damn things are constantly empty and I constantly misplace the non-standardized charging cables.
Ah, the love-hate relationship with batteries… Everything has gone downhill since one stopped using 4 AA batteries in handheld consoles!
