🎥 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!

🎬 Before the Devil Knows You're Dead

Movie poster for “Before the Devil Knows You're Dead”.

When you think it can’t get any worse, it does. Ever more fucked up shitabout the characters and their relationships gets uncovered.

Great acting all around. And the non-linear plot is also kind of mything. But ultimately this did not go beyond the “totally finefilm”-boundary for me.

I finally made some prints again. Needing a present is always a good motivator. I probably do not do this so often, because it’s time consuming getting everything ready, and I don’t always have the motivation for it, and/or the bathroom is not unoccupied early enough. Producing a print by hand is so satisfying, though. Both images are in the April photo journal entry.

“Hello, I’m a Mac.” “And I’m an incest underground monster woman with supernatural strength and I will push in your eyeballs and crack your head open like a raw egg.” „Eh….hehe… Do you know iWork?“

Quite a movie. I didn‘t find it 100% convincing and it lost a bit of suspense after a while. But not a shabby horror movie. And I liked the camera work and the acting.

Well, a few scenes were funny. But this really isn’t my type of movieand I wonder what I was thinking. 🤷‍♂️

📄 No AVIF for now

After contemplating about responsive images - especially for my photo journal - I had a look at my current approach and whether it makes sense to add image variants in AVIF format to the mix. And my current answer to this is “no”.

🎬 Videodrome

Movie poster for “Videodrome”.

I enjoyed the general theme of this film, but somehow it didn’t reallygrab me for some reason. Maybe I was just too tired that evening.

Visually this was fantastic, though: especially those kind of specialeffects.

I should probably watch this again at some point.

Starting A New Kirby Project

Today, I started a new project with Kirby CMS. (No, it’s not my personal site. That one’s still brewing…) Kirby is a lightweight, no-fuzz content management system (CMS) created by Bastian Allgeier, which works well for projects of any size. It is easy to install and amazing...
