WoWirSindIstVorne Podcast No 58

Just a few days before I went on a longer trip to Switzerland and Italy, Constantin and Moritz of the #wwsiv Podcast published the episode in which I had the pleasure to be their guest. It was a lovely chat (in German) and we chattet about event stuff surely, but also about a lot of other things. It was great fun to be their guest and if you like to hear more about where beyond tellerrand has its roots and why I started all this, then check in.

Thanks to Moritz and Constantin for inviting me.

Bussana Vecchia – Liguria, Italy

Bussana Vecchia is a little village in the mountains close to the Ligurian coast in Italy. Well worth a visit with its little cafes and restaurants and galleries to visit and buy art. Due to an earthquake in 1887 this little village was abandoned. Around 1960 an international group of artists used this village as their residence and until now it is home for a few local inhabitants as well as a group of international artists. My family and I have been here 11 years ago and it was lovely to be back this year to see that it still exists. If you drive up, make sure to park early enough to not hit the actual village as you will have issues turning your car up there in the very narrow roads. Reply via Email

Quite Silent Here Once More

Yes. Once more it is silence here and this time it would be easy to state that this is because of so many things I do – as I do, really. But really it is because I am away with my family in a small village in Liguria in Italy called Candeasco, where we have been 11 years ...

📄 Crash

On Sunday, June 25th 2023, we were involved in a car crash on the Autobahn. While our camper is beyond repair, we were very lucky and escaped with only minor injuries.

Starting the New Week with a Gravel Ride

Would be nice to have company on those rides, to be honest. But on the other hand, I do get my head clean during these rides, which never happened with running for me. Maybe just because you need to keep track of the ride to not fall of the bike. Wonderful weather. Fantastic start into the new week. I hope yours is great as well. Reply via Email

🎬 In Bruges

Movie poster for “In Bruges”.

Having just been to Bruges, it seemed fitting to watch In Bruges. I canconfirm it’s not a shithole. Fuckin‘ Bruges. That’s my kind of fuckin’film: quirky characters of a shady „occupation“, a bizarre yet coherentplot, with serious and funny elements, and overall very entertaining.All in just over 100 minutes.

🎬 Beau Is Afraid

Movie poster for “Beau Is Afraid”.

Of course, Joaquin Phoenix is fantastic. And it is visually actuallypretty sweet. But oh man, it’s just 3 hours of absurdities. Way over thetop. Not really my thing.

Compared to Ana Lily Amirpour‘s other films, this was lacking. Somehow the setting and vibe didn’t get me as much. Worse dialogue, and too long. And I have to admit that I find realistic cannibal scenes quite repelling. I’d rather happily rewatch her other movies.

📄 View Transitions

Prompted by Jeremy’s post on the topic, I’ve been trying out the brand new view transitions API for multi page apps – i.e. normal websites.

Since my previous CMS forestry.io stopped working, and its successor TinaCMS doesn‘t work with my setup, I replaced it with Decap CMS (previously Netflify CMS). I needed to add some CSS overrides, though, so it actually works on a small phone-sized screen – which to my suprise it didn’t out of the box.

Anyhow, I’m pretty pleased with the replacement and this is the first post using my new CMS.

🎧 As the Kingdom Drowns – Psycroptic

As I noted once before, I really like this album, and especially Joe Haley’s guitar playing. But this also has great drumming, bass playing and vocals. All delivered with a heavy and clear sound. Also, look at that cover!

📄 Status May 2023

Since the beginning of April, I’ve been taking a break from freelancing. That means I currently don’t work for anyone else. And it’s been glorious so far! Instead of doing software development all day, I’ve really taken it easy and have done things I enjoy, wanted to do for a while, or simply had to get done – with plenty of time to do so.

🎥 Big Muff pickup ride

Big Muff pickup ride

I bought a used Bass Big Muff pedal, and this is the bike ride to the person I purchased it from.

It’s a sunny weekday morning ride from last October with not much traffic or people around. It’s fairly long, but somehow, I like to document my bike rides every once in a while. The route until minute 13:40 gets cycled frequently - the remaining bit, not so often.

🎬 Nomadland

Movie poster for “Nomadland”.

„Dedicated to the ones that had to depart.“ I felt somewhat addressed bythis. And this movie really captured the feeling of being on the road(and returning) so well. This really gave me wanderlust and brought backa lot of nice memories. Great visuals, great words, and – oh man – thatpiano soundtrack! Beau-ti-ful! I want to go back to Nomadland!

Oh yes, thanks for this one, Ms. Amirpour! This was so entertaining! Its atmosphere really drew me in. The soundtrack is ace. And visually is superb, too. Loved all those super-wideangle shots. And the acting! First and foremost by Jun Jong-seo. Just watch her face at the end while the plane starts. So good!
