As a January birthday boy, the calendar year is almost congruent with year of age, so I allow myself a couple more weeks for retrospection and good resolutions. But the world doesn’t wait! 2026 got off to a tumultuous start, and now that I’ve officially turned 38, I am ready to formulate the following goals for the...
I treated myself to an early birthday present and bought the white Nothing Headphone (1). This is not a serious product review, mind you! I leave that to my Uberblogr neighbor Benedikt Müller, who also covered Nothing’s first-ever over-ear headphones. This is rather a note of praise about a capable piece of hardware...
It seems these days my internet bubble is all about digital independence, the exodus from platforms run by fascist surveillance capitalists, and self-hosting. Right on! Mein Ausstieg aus dem Apple-Ökosystem (My Pull-Out From the Apple Ecosystem) by Gunnar Lott Die Känguru-Rebellion (dubbed in English) by Marc-Uwe...
Pre-Christmas season is my time to retrospect, reflect, and reminisce. I didn’t plan on letting my mind wander back as far as November 2012, but I guess that’s what you get for browsing through old hard drives. Back then, I seem to have tried to express my love for minimalist graphic design and coming-of-age movies...
I had to re-install custom firmware on my PS Vita PCH-2000 series (PS Vita Slim) today because the console kept crashing after a couple of seconds into booting. Luckily, my official 64 GB PS Vita memory card seems to be fine, so I did not have to deal with any SD2VITA shenanigans for now. I followed the excellent...
Cineville asked for my top 5 favorite movies with a German theatrical release in 2025, and it was nice to scroll through my notes and come up with a list. Honorable Mentions I Like Movies (Canada, directed and written by Chandler Levack) Des Teufels Bad / The Devil’s Bath (Austria/Germany, directed and written by...
Katharina ist Teil einer wunderbaren Gruppe von 25 Menschen, die seit einigen Jahren gemeinsam einen Adventskalender gestalten. Jede teilnehmende Person fertigt 24 mal eine Kleinigkeit an, so dass am Ende jeder einen Kalender mit 24 Überraschungen hat. Der Inhalt des 8. Dezember war ein Brief mit einer...
This Bandcamp Friday was easy because I listened to my talented punk rock friends of Bellyacher and Eaten by Snakes less than a week ago. I bought their latest records (digital + vinyl) without hesitation. The Largest Gap by Bellyacher. I just love Claudia’s voice and her range from soft to roaring. Peace and Love...
Diese Limes-Abende sind die formvollendete Wohlfühlzone für mich. Vor allem wegen der lieben Freunde von der Schäl-Sick-Konzertgruppe, aber auch wegen der Menschen, die ich leider zu selten und oft auch nur da sehe. Das ist immer ein großes Hallo und für eine lebendige Nacht sind wir im gedrängten Limes und im...
This year, I had the honor of being one of three grantees of Processing Foundation’s pr05 (pronounced “pros”) program. My task was to develop a new Processing mode that allows to create and run p5.js sketches inside the Processing Development Environment (PDE). That included editor support (syntax highlighting,...
