Kurzweiliges Buch über viele typische Denkfehler. Viele kannte ich schon mit Namen, einige ohne Namen, und einige waren mir so explizit neu.
Aufgrund der Menge an Denkfehlern (=Kapitelanzahl) bleibt nicht alles beim ersten Lesen hängen. Das Buch kann man sich aber gut in den Schrank als Referenz stellen.
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.

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.
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.

Irrland and southern France.
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 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!
The return ride of the Big Muff pickup on a different route.
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.

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.
More photos!
Various activities in Düsseldorf and a work trip to France.
„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!
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.
