📄 The Planck keyboard has ruined me
The Planck is the only computer keyboard I use now. I do not want to – nor can I – use a standard keyboard anymore. My MacBook Pro’s keyboard that I’ve used for years? Of no use: the staggered keys, the size (way too big!), the low key travel, the non-customisability. Everything’s alien now.

📄 Samba Pi
I recently dusted off an old Raspberry Pi and installed Samba to serve all the movies we have on two external hard drives on our local network.
🎬 Primer
Meh. I know this is a cult classic – and that’s why I wanted to see it –but I didn’t like it that much. I appreciate the story, but I felt theexecution was lagging. I couldn’t easily follow the plot. After readingthe Wikipedia article on it, I noticed that I think I understood most ofwhat happened. But certainly not everything, and it was more work thanentertainment.
🎬 Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter
After the two previous not-that-great instalments of this franchise,this was again very good! Jason is just evil, menacing and capable, thekills are much more creative again, it has suspense, great stunts andoverall fantastic humour. On to part 5…
🎬 Stand by Me
A beautiful film! I would’ve probably liked this even better as a teen.But I’ve just now watched this. Still somehow things felt somewhatfamiliar.
I did only see the German dubbed version, so I think it’d be worth it toat some point see the original.
🎬 The Evil Dead
At first I thought: ah, this seems a little too silly and old-school; doI really want to watch this? But then it convinced me more and more.
It’s pretty scary stuff. Plus super-violent and splattery. And thatending!! Old-school effects galore!
Remarkable film. Didn’t regret this at all!
🎬 Django Unchained
Maybe towards the end, it’s a bit longer than necessary. But other thanthat I was again very well entertained for almost 3 hours.
The splatter is just so over the top it’s ridiculous! And so much fun.Despite the serious topic. Poah, and that first Mandingo fight scene inMonsieur Candie’s mansion is almost unbearably violent and cruel.Justified IMO, but bloody hell!
Acting, script, pace, etc. all perfect. Very satisfying revenge film.

🎧 Fear Inoculum – TOOL
I’m so into this album again – or even still. It’s fascinating to me, how you can do that much with only three instruments (at a time). And then the vocals add another layer. So, I’m really enjoying discovering and analysing all the different parts. It just keeps giving. And TOOL’s great live performance certainly played a huge part in making me dive into this again.
Very well deserved that this is the first album to appear a second time in this list.
🎬 Mamma Muh & Kråkan
Mal wieder mit dem Kind einen Film geguckt. Dieser ist sehr zu empfehlenals Einstieg: keine bedrohlichen Szenen, nicht zu lang, es sind ehereinzelne Episoden in einem Film – aber mit einem leicht zu verstehendemübergeordneten Thema.
Mit fast fünf hat sie die ganze Zeit aufmerksam zugeguckt und oft auchgelacht. Und auch für Erwachsene ist der durchaus unterhaltsam.

🎬 The Black Phone
This was more of a dumb-phone than a smart-phone. The supernatural neverexplained, unnecessarily violent in places, constructed jump-scares, andkid-characters that weren’t believable. I don’t know why Ethan Hawkeeven “starred” in this. It’s also a weird mix of some highschool movie,“Silence of the lambs”-style thriller and “the sixth sense”. But inboring. I’m sorry!
🎬 Friday the 13th Part III
Objectively, this wasn’t a good movie. It just wasn’t suspenseful atall. And the ideas? Meh!
We still had a great evening, though! Part 3 is missing in ourcollection, which held us back from continuing the series. Luckily Udocame around with the DVD box set, so that we could finally continue. Wewere made aware that this was filmed in “3D”, featuring the usual “woah,something’s flying towards the camera” moments. Hilarious! So, this andits trashiness in general entertained us very well.
