Nice atmospheric middle age murder story. Great characters, great acting, great makeup, great setting, great fog.

The protagonist is like an anti James Bond: no action, no talking, no sex, no drama. And he still gets the job done. And the movie still manages to be suspenseful and entertaining despite all the "missing" bits. The end left me a little confused, but other than that, this was ace. Jarmusch just makes movies I like.
This also has a brilliant music scene with flamenco guitar playing, -dancing and -singing. And it's probably all done while the camera was rolling. I can rarely tolerate music not matching the instrument on camera, but this was the exact opposite. Kudos!
And I enjoyed the soundtrack, too.

It's been seven years that this blog exists - but it just sat there while I was busy. A relationship broke, others came and went, some came back ... but the Arduino fix for the fridge still works at my wife's place. That's been much more sustainable than expected!

We went to the middle age market again. And our group of friends filmed a music video as a birthday present one afternoon.

The Linux Experiment
Today, for the first time in 23 years, I own a computer that is not a Mac.
For a while now I had the idea to break away from – or at least become less dependent on – closed systems, in my particular case: Apple’s eco system.

The 366 zines (part II and III) arrived yesterday! 🎉 Unfortunately half of them are not up to the quality that one can expect. I already contacted Blurb customer service and will hopefully get this resolved quickly. Not worried, as I had similar issues before and Blurb handled it exemplary every time. My guess is that they were (are?) quite overwhelmed with Black Friday / Christmas orders. I’ll sign and ship the good half on Saturday. 🙌
🔗 August 2023 – Daniel Pietzsch’s Photo Journal
The latest photojournal entry has been out for a few days.
Zoe's first day at school. I went photographing with Florian at Zeche Zollverein in Essen. It was my mum's birthday. Saw Gatecreeper and Converge live in Dortmund with Bernd and Fred. We went to a horse race. And Bernd and I went on a multiday hike in Austria, where I broke my arm.
Muscle memory can be a b*tch.

It is my opinion, that not every app needs a “year in review” feature. In the example below, Asana is seriously telling me that Claudio – the only other team member! – was actually the one I most often collaborated with. Not shit, Sherlock! 🤦♂️
