New Year’s concerts are everything a classical music concert isn’t. They’re casual and relaxed, but most of all, they’re disorderly and noisy. I hate it, but i love it. How can you not be amused by those poor parents that felt obliged to...
And that’s it for 2025. It was the year i finally quit my job of sixteen years. I’m grateful to have worked in an environment where i was able to (re)invent my job to tackle the biggest issues facing journalism at the moment –...

It’s not that i don’t have enough tools to write how i want when i want it, it’s that i have too many. I have at least one computer from each of the last five decades, enough fountain pens to open a nice store and twelve – twelve! –...

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...
This is my entry for this month’s IndieWeb Carnival, hosted by V.H. Belvadi, on the topic of “where do you see the IndieWeb in 2030?”. 2031.12.04/Lyon You have to understand that i thought the web was dead. They told us that after the...
And that’s four weeknotes in a row. Let’s hope i’ll get back to regular blogging soon. Books Le comte de Monte-Cristo by Alexandre Dumas. At almost 1,500 pages, this was an ambitious way to reacquaint myself with bigger books. The gamble...
Speaking of small seasons, winter descended on Europe in a flash, and it’s been freezing for the last ten days straight. It’s my favourite part of the winter: the air is crisp, the days are as bright as the nights are dark, there’s not a...
I’m looking for a new job, which is to say, i’m spending an awful lot of time on LinkedIn. A lot of friends suggested i cold connect with total strangers. “You should expand your network”, they say, “everybody should know you’re...
I just reorganized my library, so what did people gift me for my birthday? More books, of course. I guess nature really hates a vacuum. Apps Affinity. I was fully expecting Canva to radically simplify the Affinity suite, but i wasn’t...
This is my entry for this month’s IndieWeb Carnival, hosted by Alex Sirac, on the topic of “Cycles and fluctuations”. The life of a journalist is governed by schedules, but i’m not a journalist anymore. I’ve always prided myself on...
