There have been a few things happening recently in FeedCity land:
Websites and blogs of people that attended a Homebrew Website Club Düsseldorf.
🎬 28 Days Later
While this might have a little bit of shitty digital quality, I think otherwise this really holds up well and is a great entertaining zombie film. The story is great, the characters and the acting is there, the infected are menacing, the action is good. And it just has a lot of great scenes. Was again looking forward to that blood-drops-in-the-eye shot.
🎬 Final Destination Bloodlines
Haven't seen a movie from this franchise in a long time. Do I like the CGI-to-the-max? No. But otherwise, it's actually pretty entertaining with great humour. Death has once again packed a fine assortment of Rube Goldberg death machines and bloody butterfly effects.
📖 Ein Hirsch, ein Virus und ein Baby – Nils Wittrock
Wie auch sein erstes Buch, mochte ich dieses zweite auch sehr gerne. Ein, zwei Kapitel waren mir etwas zu ausschweifend, aber ansonsten ein kurzweiliges Buch, das interessante Einblicke in das Leben einen Independent-Musikers gibt im Speziellen zur Corona-Pandemie-Zeit und bei gleichzeitigem Familienzuwachs.
Finally put the next date up for the Homebrew Website Club meetup. Happening in two weeks on 23.09.2025.
@zachleat wondering who's gonna give the next talk at @smashingconf 🤔

🎬 The Reef
Yoah… the acting was quite good, and I liked the partly suspenseful editing, too. But the plot is bonkers and for this to be entertaining, it's not enough action for my tastes.
This week was another Homebrew Website Club here in Düsseldorf. Mark and Jochen came around. It was mostly chatting about IndieWeb and AI topics, but each of us also managed to get some work done on one or more of our projects.
I, for example, published a new photo journal entry. And I registered that site with a WebSub hub and send out WebSub notifications for this new post.
I’m also having fun creating these little animated AVIFs of our little group.
I could link to each article Cedric writes on his photoni.st blog, because they are all very good.
This last one, titled “Pretty Images Are Dead. Long Live Documentary Photography” is no exception. One of his conclusions within this whole “rise of AI” shit show (my expressio...
My vacation is almost over. I haven’t done anything “productive” with my time. But to be fair, I didn’t feel like checking things off of a list for a while. (The task list at work is pretty much bottomless, there’s always more stuff to do, and I didn’t want the same for my ho...

We’re in England. Two days ago we met Jasper and he took us on a walk along the Seven Sisters cliffs between Eastbourne and Brighton. It was great meeting in person and talk, take photos and getting rained on. And while I’m only hoarding negatives, he has photos posted to his blog.

🎬 12 Angry Men
Pretty perfect movie, if you ask me. The 12 more or less angry men are all so good. The whole concept of only talking about a murder case after the trial, surfacing ever more details and eliciting more of the jurors characters, was so good. Suspenseful and entertaining. A timeless classic.
🎬 The Blob
This was more high-quality than I expected beforehand. Great story, great acting, great visuals, some good humour, and above all: great special effects. Those kills were really fun and well done. My favourite was the whole action in and around the restaurant. When The Blob gets bigger and bigger towards the end, the effect quality sadly suffers quite a bit, and the end itself lacked a little something. But overall, it's been a very entertaining evening!
