During T3CON24 last end of last year, Kendall Litton invited my to be a guest in the “Inside TYPO3” Podcast. We had a lovely conversation about events and the differences between bigger, more corporate events and independent events.
You can listen to the episode in the embedded player above, their YouTube page or any other player that supports RSS like Pocketcast, which I use.
Furthermore I got this whole podcasts transcribed and you can read the full transcription here (opens in a new window in case you started listening here already).
Ähnlich wie Teil 2: wieder ganz gute Songs, mit einer unterhaltsamen uns sympathischen Geschichte. Vielleicht mehr was für junge Teenager, aber der Tochter hat's gefallen und somit hatte ich auch Spaß. :)
TIL: there is a "spaceship operator" in PHP (<=>) that's useful for sorting things, and I'm blown away. How did I not know about this (and how many times have I written custom sort callbacks since it existed)? 🤯
Last Tuesday, January 14th, I had the delightful honour to co-host the premiere of Eno, the documentary by Gary Hustwit and Brendan Dawes.

My task was to welcome people after picking their seats and introducing Gary to the stage to say hi. Later after the film has been shown, and that was the real fun, I lead a 30-minute Q&A with Gary and Brendan, chatting about the creation process, the idea and the technology of how this film was made.
I absolutely enjoyed this and next to co-hosting this, meeting with friends like Keir, Tobi or Brendan and Gary was a great start to the event year.
Same Q&A, but from further away. A nice shot by Keir Whitaker Reply via Email

Nice little “slice of life” movie. Every body is so nice. And sweet. It’s funny, too. And it turns out nice in the end. It’s just nice. A little tame maybe. Was ok.
Finally deleted my Facebook (and Instagram and Messenger) accounts. It hurts to feel like I’m cutting off one of the few ways to find and be found by long-time family and friends, but I just cannot be part of these so-called social networks anymore.
Y’all can follow me on my website and places I can still syndicate like Mastodon and Bluesky. You can also converse with me via email, Signal, or IRL.
I’m on a quest to watch all Jim Jarmusch movies. This, once more, was right up my alley. The calmness, the humour, the characters. It again featured hilarious dialogues where people don’t understand each other. And towards the end I noticed that the comics the characters are watching seem to give away what will happen next. So I need to watch this again to see what I can discover.
Alan Watts wrote in the “The World As Emptiness”:“So in the same way, the coming and going of things in the world is marvelous. They go. Where do they go? Don’t answer, because that would spoil the mystery.”I have to disagree with Watts here.Do ask and DO answer. Again and again. Embrace curiosity, explanation, understanding.Any mystery you can explain will reveal another mystery underneath.There is no spoiling the mystery, there is only the journey of one mystery after another.#meditationThoughts #Kula #meditation #liveMeditation #groupMeditation #AlanWatts #mystery
