One more month of photos.

A family trip to Belgium, Folkerdey, quite a few things in between, and of course our camper motorway crash false start into the summer holidays.

Es ist ja nicht so, als hätte ich mich nicht schon öfter mit diesem Thema auseinandergesetzt. Aber diese Buch hat mir den notwendingen Anstoß gegen keine halben Sachen mehr zu machen und mich vollständig vegetarisch zu ernähren. Diese Buch ist natürlich keine leichte Kost. Aber das sollte es bitte auch nicht sein, wenn doch die industrielle Fleischproduktion und Massentierhaltung so ein riesen Haufen barbarische Scheiße ist.

Der Autor selbst geht trotzdem noch recht diplomatisch an die Sache ran, und versucht nicht einem (s)eine Meinung aufzudrücken (obwohl er diese trotzdem für sich sehr klar formuliert). Und mir gefiel auch, dass verschiedene Stimmen und gar Kompromiss-Lösungen beschrieben werden. Für mich aber lässt das alles nur eine Schlussfolgerung zu.

Ist die Verwandlung eine Metapher für eine (schwere) Krankheit, habe ich mich gefragt. Jedenfalls fand ich diesen Klassiker sehr interessant und unterhaltsam. Die unterschiedlichen Reaktionen der Mitmenschen auf seine Verwandlung sind einfach gut und glaubhaft beschrieben. Und zudem fand ich Kafkas Schreibstil sehr ansprechend. Hat diese Buch auch vielleicht “Die Fliege” inspiriert?

Another very entertaining part of the trilogy. The story – especially at the end – has its weaknesses IMHO (and I couldn't help but be reminded of Once upon a Time in Hollywood). But this just looks fantastic once again, has great acting, and a lot of excellent scenes.

There’s a new photo journal entry up!

The circus came to town. Frankeninferno. Camping in Perlenau. And a visit to the Neaderthal museum.

One of the biggest challenges with tools for making things, even just for the web, is there are so many to choose from. Nearly every tool has a learning curve to overcome before being able to use it efficiently. With proficiency, comes the ability to pursue more efficient use...

Have to apologize to Nick Simson. He was having more issues than he should have with the webmentions plugin. Turns out that the Block Editor was hiding the option I kept expecting to be there. Will have to come up with a solution for that.

Does anyone do self-assessments of how they’d quarantine people they share a living space with if they got sick? Doing one of these for family members, sort of like a drill to see how easy it would be to isolate someone. So far, identified several action items.

This really drew me in. It gets increasingly menacing and suspenseful. I think this movie really succeeds in showing how frightening (dangerous even) and really uncomfortable it can be as a young woman (waitress) amongst a horde of men.

Acting was 👌. Hearing some Aussie accent was, too.

Anyhow, I'll now have a Dickin's Cider (sorry! 🫣).

Liked how this looked. Loved Mia Goth's acting, in particular her long monologue and that end scene where she makes faces for a minute or two. The plot could have been a little more focused, but overall a well-rounded, well-entertaining film.

In what looks like a very smart move, the team at Mastodon just released a very nice new feature for media organizations, journalists and bloggers: when someone shares a link to an article by certain news outlets like The Verge, MacStories, or MacRumors, the official Mastodo...

I finally understand why Rambaldi may have hidden so many inventions. Forecast When you invent something, you should forecast the impact of your invention in the current cultural (social, political, economic, belief systems) context, and if it poses non trivial existent...

The birthdays continue. It's Easter. Another studio visit. Beyond Tellerrand conference. A poker night. And the all the stuff in between.

Finished my second Broken Arrow #Skyrace 23k¹ yesterday in 6:52:44! #RingDasBellThis year’s #BrokenArrowSkyrace² 23k was actually that distance! I ran 23.3km with 4557' vertical climb! In contrast, last year’s "23k" race³ was rerouted (due to weather conditions) last minute t...

I liked Anya Taylor-Joy's performance. And James McAvoy is good, too. But the movie as a whole did not grip me. I just didn't find it suspenseful. The main character is not menacing enough. And there's way too much going on, and as a result the plot suffers. A bit of an eye-roller.

I’m on a roll!

Three birthdays and a studio visit.

Such a great plot and so well executed. I assume this is a pretty low budget film, and all the more respect to make it so entertaining. Spooky, suspenseful, with great acting and some nice gory special effects.
