Totally forgot about the platform for a while. I had reasons not to be on it back then, but now Vero seems less broken than things like Instagram.

So, I am on Vero to post photos. Let’s connect!

Three weeks before I ran beyond tellerrand in Berlin Léonie wrote me to ask, if I’d be up for co-hosting this years [Inclusive Design 24] online event. Of course I am! The event takes place on September 22nd and even though it is the 17th birthday of my son at this day, I wi...

During beyond tellerrand in Berlin the ZDF has been in the house and followed Janis McDavid before, during and after his talk.

You can watch the short clip in the ZDF Mediathek and maybe you spot yourself in the film ;)

The Working Products Conference takes place on September 15th and 16th For beyond tellerrand I often team up with other events and we help to promote each other. The reasons are as easy as follows: There are a lot of other interesting and good conferences taking place all a...

I have been in Brighton after a long time for the very first time. The last dConstruct has taken place after it was announced for 2020 already and I have some impression in photo form here for you.

We celebrated 10 years of Smashing Conference in Freiburg last week. I have taken some photos and uploaded them here.

Ten years ago Vitaly and I started Smashing Conference In 2011, on the very first beyond tellerrand conference I ran, Vitaly Friedman was part of the line-up. We had just got to know each other and met for the first time, when we did a road trip to the New Adventures Confere...

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.

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.

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.

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…

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

I have had the honour to be invited to the Why We Create Podcast – great fun! From time to time I get invited to an interview or asked to speak or, like this time again, to be a guest in a podcast. Often times the inviting people ask me to speak about what I do and how it al...
