I’m an early 20s guy from Switzerland. So naturally, I’m still trying to find my place in the world. Figuring out who I am and what I want to do. And this website serves as a time capsule for preserving and documenting this project we call personal life.

Number Go Up by Zeke Faux is a unique blend of investigative journalism, social commentary and a true crime recount of some of the biggest frauds in recent years. And it was an interesting read because I experienced most of the stories...
Just a short little update because I have been quite silent on this blog the past few weeks. Currently, I am in between the two exam seasons after my second semester at uni. I still work part-time during the summer and obviously have to...
Just two running-related ads I came around today that immediately made me wanna put on my running shoes and head out. Both have this highly polished but still raw and imperfect aesthetic that I really like. Kinda like if Beef was an ad....
Long time, no see – hi again! If you’re a regular visitor of this blog, you might have noticed that my post frequency on here dropped quite a bit since starting uni. And even more so since the start of the new year. But a lot has...
I’d choose to use a Mac over a Windows machine every time in a heartbeat. It’s just the best OS out there (in my humble opinion). Still, it’s not perfect and there are a few gripes I have with the system. Luckily, there is an app out...
Recently, there was this insightful interview in our local newspaper that I found really interesting and seemed almost philosophical to me. So I decided to curate and share some passages. For context, the interview is with a man named...
Today, I was reminded once again of how great the early hours of a day can feel. As I’m currently preparing for my last two (but unfortunately hardest) exams of the semester, I got up early to be at the university library as soon as it...
After building my own personal home on the internet (you’re visiting it right now, hi 👋), I think I finally found my social home as well. Ok, that sounds a bit dramatic. But I am now a part of omg.lol, the proud owner of the “best...
I’m currently in the middle of exam season and wanted to share a quick tip that helps me enormously when I get nervous or tense right before a quiz. It also helps with studying in general or whenever you have something important coming...
Like every other productivity-app geek out there, I’m always watching the space for new developments. What are the hot new tools that everyone talks about? Which application is revolutionizing the space right now? Over the past few...
Murder in the Family by Cara Hunter is probably the most unique fiction book I’ve read this year. The setting is a Netflix-esque true-crime show. And the whole book reads like a transcript of it. It was a bit weird to get used to at...
As I’ve stated before, writing regularly and publishing your work has many benefits. There’s one thing, though, that I didn’t really have on my radar, but that probably brings me the most joy. Every now and then, a piece of writing...
Inspired by Jedda and in the spirit of sharing and discovering great music, I also wanted to write a bit about my Spotify Wrapped this year. Every song is linked, so you can directly listen to it on Spotify. Enjoy, and let me know if you...
These past few days, Bluesky really seemed to start getting traction and starting to hit mainstream appeal – adding over 1 Million people per day. With people I know joining left and right, I also gave it a shot. Here are my initial...
I’m currently reading “Four Thousand Weeks” by Oliver Burkeman. It’s essentially an “anti-productivity” book, which argues that we as humans should not only acknowledge our very limited time on earth – but actually embrace that finitude....
