EnglishWhat kind of blog posts are on mavica's corner?
Updated
maple.pet (mavica's corner) is the personal site and portfolio of a game musician and tech tinkerer, and its blog mixes retro-computing notes, personal reflections on online life, and small technical write-ups. The homepage lists the five most recent posts with dates, so you can judge the current mix at a glance. If you're looking for a steady stream of tutorials or a single narrow topic, this isn't that — the blog is personal and varied, and posts appear irregularly rather than on a schedule.
The five most recent posts
| Date (UTC) | Title | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-08-20 | what to do with a retro computer | Practical ideas for putting old hardware to use |
| 2025-05-11 | on socialization, social media and emotional maturity, or: how i learned to stop worrying and become the change i wanted to see in the world | A long-form personal essay on social media habits and emotional growth |
| 2025-02-27 | blog questions technology edition | A Q&A-style post answering technology questions |
| 2024-03-30 | my pocketchip experience in 2024 | Hands-on notes on using the PocketChip |
| 2024-02-18 | solving a base64 mystery nobody asked for | A small technical puzzle write-up |
What the topics have in common
Three threads run through the list:
- Retro and small hardware. The retro-computer post and the PocketChip post both deal with older or unusual devices — what they're good for and what using them is actually like.
- Personal reflection on the internet. The socialization and emotional-maturity essay is the clearest example: it's about how the author relates to social media, not about a tool or a product.
- Small technical puzzles and Q&A. The Base64 post and the "blog questions technology edition" post are lighter, more conversational pieces — one walks through solving a puzzle, the other answers questions directly.
How to read the blog
The homepage only shows the latest five posts, so the archive is deeper than what you see on the front page. Posts are dated in UTC, which makes it easy to tell how recent something is — and also shows that publishing is sporadic, with gaps of months between entries. If you're deciding whether to follow along, treat it as an occasional personal blog rather than a news feed.
Where the blog sits on the site
The blog is one part of a broader personal site. The same homepage links out to music, projects, photos, art, and a Photoshop section, plus contact options (YouTube, Twitch, itch.io, Telegram, Discord, IRC, XMPP, email, Tumblr, Mastodon) and support links (Ko-fi for one-time donations, Patreon for recurring support). So if a blog post mentions a project or a piece of music, the corresponding section of the site is usually where the finished work lives.
Is it worth reading?
Read it if you like personal, first-person writing that jumps between old hardware, online culture, and small technical curiosities — the PocketChip and retro-computer posts are the most concrete, and the socialization essay is the most personal. Skip it if you want consistent publishing cadence or a single focused subject; the range here is deliberately wide, and new posts arrive when they arrive.
