I bought an Apple Watch. And I want it to replace my iPhone.

Oh, there’s an #indiewebcamp in Düsseldorf next Wednesday, and I won’t be able to attend. :-(

IndieWebCamp Düsseldorf 2021 is a gathering for independent web creators of all kinds, from graphic artists, to designers, UX engineers, coders, hackers, to share ideas, actively work on creating for their own personal websites, and build upon each others creations.

This movie didn’t have any elements in it that you’d call spectacular. It’s subtle. To me, it was about relationships, and prejudices or how a first impression of a person can be wrong. And about the setbacks and victories – big and small – of life.

Bought concert tickets for “Der Weg einer Freiheit” in Köln in November. It’ll be the first concert after a looooong break.

Entertaining and somewhat tongue-in-cheek documentary about the Berlin music and art scenes during the 80s. All told through the eyes of narrator Mark Reeder. If you’re into music in general or into “Die Toten Hosen”, “Die Ärzte”, Nick Cave, “Die Einstürzenden Neubauten”, Jörg Buttgereit (and many more) in particular, you’ll enjoy this!

“What a nightmare!” was my comment while watching this movies. And I meant that from the mother’s perspective, which is the one you get to see as the viewer.

This film made me really uncomfortable. And I applaud it for this! And feeling uncomfortable is appropriate and makes perfect sense, too! But that sense had to explained to me, to be honest. Despite the confusing plot (at first), I was all on board with the movie. Until this over-the-top ending – then I really wasn’t sure what to make of this movie. But Bernd gave me a hint regarding the metaphors afterwards, and then – as already mentioned – it all made perfect sense. And I loved it! And I will probably watch this again some time!

Reminded me of Haneke’s “Funny Games” at times. So yeah, if you’re in for some light and feel-good entertainment, this is not the movie for you!

In September I spontaneously visited Berlin for 10 days. To see the city – which I don’t really know – and to hang out with Tim and Sophie. And I had to do a bit of remote work, too.

Here’s a current screenshot of my iPhone’s homescreen. It’s been looking like this for quite a while now and so I wanted to log this.

Oh man, I’m so behind on my photos. I’ve developed and scanned everything until and including June. But there are now 25 more rolls to scan and currently 13 rolls still to develop. And I haven’t edited much from this year, either. Makes me a bit nervous about being able to keep up with my photo journal in any timely fashion. But I need and want to! But I will probably end up posting a whole year again, as I did with 2020.

Today, I at least finally ordered myself a 5-reel development tank, which will make film-developing quite a bit quicker and more convenient, compared to using two 2-reel tanks.

I have a new bike. It’s a lightweight singlespeed roadbike.

Ein unterhaltsames kurzes Essay mit (u.A.) philosophischer Auseinandersetzung zum Thema “Künstliche Intelligenz”. Thema und Autor sagten mir zu. Von Daniel Kehlmanns Büchern habe ich die meisten gelesen. Dies hier ist natürlich nicht mit seinen Romanen zu vergleichen. Und man muss es nicht gelesen haben. Aber wenn man seinen Schreibstil mag und einem das Thema zusagt, wird einem dieses dünne Sachbuch auch gefallen.

Was ok. Overall, of course, very well made and very cinematic – worthy of a bigger screen than we have at home. And I liked the non-linear narrative. But if it was meant to be emotional at the end, I didn’t feel it.

A great plot! Great acting. Very well filmed and very well made overall. But a little too conventional – despite the outstanding story. And maybe “Thriller” is just not my genre (anymore). If it is yours, I can recommend this.

This must be the least good Coen brothers movie I’ve seen. I don’t know what to make of this. Not unlike “Au Poste!” you could somewhat revel in the absurdities and misfortune happening to the protagonist and his reactions to them. But the whole Jewish references just confused me. I guess it’s much better when you’re Jewish or at least familiar with their customs.
