“There’s a particular kind of guilt that visits me when I open my feed reader after a few days away”, Terry writes in their recent post, and then goes on wondering why most RSS readers look like email clients. NetNewsWire might have been...
I wrote time and again about the perils of excessive screen time – and yet. My screen time has more than doubled, even though i don’t have to spend eight hours a day in front of a computer anymore, and have very limited use of my laptop...
Some people hate “would you make your mind up?” February, some people can’t stand “hurry up Christmas is coming” November, but i despise this sorry excuse of a month that is January. I particularly loathe the third week of January – the...
A few snowflakes are enough to transform not only the city, but also its inhabitants. People have to look up from their damn screens, walk a bit slower, and awkwardly smile at each other while they navigate the slippery pavement. Drivers...

I’ve been reading on a Kobo Libra Colour for more than a year. It has wonderfully clicky buttons, a nicely textured back, a well thought-out “origami” cover, outstanding battery life, a more than decent reading environment, and a...

Nothing else to say than: “wish me good luck for next week”. See you on the other side. Books God’s Madman at the End of the World by Javier Cercas. Much to my surprise, the Vatican has never let a writer follow the Pope around during...
My entry for this month’s IndieWeb carnival was the most fun i’ve had writing in a while. It isn’t a genre-defining piece of work, but it conveys what i wanted to convey, which is more than a lot of my journalistic work can say. I should...
