Structuring content with Microdata
Introduction to the basic concepts of Microdata: the structured data on the Internet.
🎧 Meliora – Ghost
🎧 TRILOGY – Carpenter Brut
🎧 Hiss Spun – CHELSEA WOLFE
Got into Chelsea Wolfe. Mainly her “Hiss Spun” album. It’s a bit like the heavy, less electronic, even more melancholic version of Portishead. Also reminds me of the acts that would play Twin Peaks’ Roadhouse. Love it!
🎧 Moontower – Dan Swanö
“The Big Sleep” was on some sampler when I was a teenager. I stumbled across this song again, and have now been listening to the whole “Moontower” album quite a bit. In case you don’t know: Dan Swanö plays all the instruments and does the singing, too. A true one-man-band.
📖 Was weiße Menschen nicht über Rassismus hören wollen: aber wissen sollten – Alice Hasters
Ich dachte ich kann mich halbwegs gut in Menschen reinversetzen, die konstant Rassismus und anderen Diskriminierungen ausgesetzt sind. Aber dieses Buch hat mir vor Augen geführt, wie anstrengend, gefährlich und entmutigend das wirklich ist – und wie es ist wenn man dem...

Learning UX over DX
Frameworks are tools for developers, not for users. Good UX is the end, the frameworks we use are the means to that end.
🎬 Queen & Slim
A first date takes a fateful turn when a racist cop stops the two for a minor traffic violation. The cop ends up dead. They flee, and a days-long chase through the US ensues.
This film is very much fitting regarding the current #blacklivesmatter movement. It showcases on a few occasions how black people feel about the police; and how one might react when the police is rather considered an enemy than a friend.
It’s also a film about loneliness, companionship, trust and love.
Thumbs up!
🎬 Wrong
An absurd film. And pretty funny. Music and sounds are ace. I liked the visuals, too, because the rendition of the used lens(es) looked pretty “classic” to me – and I like “classic”. Apparently the writer/director Quentin Dupieux has some sort of cult status. I didn’t know him until this.
🎬 Trainspotting T2
More nostalgia than anything else. Was ok. Wouldn’t watch again.
🎬 Lost Highway
Given that Nicole is a huge David Lynch fan, it’s surprising I haven’t watched this in full until recently. And I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great Lynch-y-en atmosphere and strangeness. Would watch again.
🎬 Knives Out
Well-written and filmed Cluedo/whodunnit-type movie. With star-cast. Awesome!
I bought my first bass guitar: an Epiphone Thunderbird. Should have done this earlier, because it’s so much fun!
🎬 Night on Earth
I seem to really enjoy Jim Jarmusch’s movies. This was no exception. It’s an episode film about Taxi drivers in various famous cities in the same night at the same time. Not all episodes were equally good, but overall a very entertaining endeavour. Armin Mueller-Stahl in the New York episode is hilarious!
🎬 Blue Ruin
Now-hobo takes revenge for the killing of his parents, after the killer has been released from prison. He’s a complete amateur – yet very bad-ass – and gets into a fight with the killer’s whole family. Suspenseful. Thumbs up!
🎬 Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
Remarkable movie that manages to be very funny while also addressing several very serious topics such as rape, murder, suicide and racism – and still dealing with them in a serious way. Top!
🎬 The Invisible Man
Said “man” faked his death and now terrorises his (ex-)wife. Not really bad. But not really good, either. It’s probably a little better than I thought it would be. Still: not really recommended.
