This is really not the best picture in the world. It’s a bit of a snapshot of a funny little sticker I saw today. And yet, I enjoyed taking that photo, which in many ways is my number one reason to take photos. I don’t even post-process...
If I’m completely honest, I’d really like to be one of those people who build little dioramas in H0 scale. I just know I’m not even remotely patient enough for that. Reply by email
The first “normal” work week of the year and I immediately fall back into the same old pattern. Wake up, shower, coffee, work, lunch, nap, work, nap, dinner, waste time, sleep. Great, great, great.I picked my sister up at the airport and...
Oh, the first 24h race of the year is this weekend. The Dubai one is a bit more obscure but I still quite enjoy watching the 24H Series races. Reply by email

Happy New Year! (It’s still okay to say so until the 6th, right?) Anyway – I have already gotten some feedback on the very pink look of this website and it was mostly: maybe turn it down a little. I might just do that – not by changing...
To be quite honest: I could use roughly two to fifty-two weeks for my own code. Reply by email
Eagle-eyes visitors of this blog might have noticed that I have different colors here every year. I might or might not have used colors that a certain company deems to be the color of the year.Alas, that color of the year for 2026 is...
Here we go, the final week of the year.As I pondered already all the way back in June I wasn’t near any family on Christmas for the first time ever. Instead I was near a beach with friends, having BBQ at a resort while a band played...
