I’m Andreas, and this is the place where I write about all the things that catch my interest. It could be books, it could be music, it could be tech (especially retro tech), it could be random musings about society and philosophy or psychology… whatever comes to my mind.

A few weeks ago I gave myself permission to skip the intro of these posts if I can't think of anything interesting or clever to say, and I skipped it twice since then. Well, I've been informed that people miss the intro, so I'm going to...

When I was young, I was a huge AC/DC fan. I started listening to them probably around the time I got my driver's license, maybe a year or so earlier, and I remember driving around in my Dad's tiny blue Ford Fiesta blaring AC/DC at full...
I think I say this every year, but I'm really not a fan of summer. At least not when it's over 30°C, that's just too hot for me. Well we just had a week of 30°C and more, and it's not even June yet! If that's the temperature in May, I'm...
I love the Windows 98 era of computing and gaming, but until now I didn't really have a good Windows 98 computer. Old Pentium systems are increasingly hard to come by and expensive, especially if you also want to have a period correct...

I enjoy playing around with old computers and software from the 90s and early 2000s. My childhood computer was the Amiga 500 which I still have and which I love dearly, but the Windows 9x/XP era of computing is the most nostalgic for me...
Last week I shared a post by David about backing up his blog. Except, due to a brain fart on my part, I called him Glyn, who is someone else entirely. Why? I have no idea... maybe I started writing the post before I had coffee....
Recently I've been struggling to find things to write in the intro of these posts, or finding things to write on the blog in general. I'm kind of in a creative slump it seems... and I don't really know what to do about it except wait it...
It's time somebody invented beaming. And it doesn't have to be beaming a person at first, though that would be ideal... but maybe we could start with small objects. For example, I usually write these posts at my favourite café downtown....
Yesterday the new Commodore, run by YouTuber Perifractic (Christian Simpson) announced their new product, a faithful recreation of the C64C, the second revision of the Commodore 64. Essentially it's the same as the first one they...
Life, uh, finds a way. That's what the internet recently feels like to me. Tech bros and corporations are doing their best to fuck things up and make everything AI generated and agentic and an absolute nightmare to use, and yet the indie...
I've been reading mostly blogs lately, and it kind of shines through in these link dumps. Most of the links I've been collecting recently are blog posts, and only occasionally do I see something that fits in any of the other categories....
Last week I shared a link to a post about which data is processed when you verify your identity with Linkedin. A friend got in touch and noted that this post and in fact the entire site seems like it was written by AI to him. He pointed...
Thanks to Zak I just learned that today (April 9th) is CSS Naked Day, a day to strip your website of it's CSS and show what it looks like underneath in plain HTML. By sheer coincidence I worked a bit on making the HTML more readable...
