A little lonely in the accessibility lab earlier today for demos at the GDS press launch, whilst AI and Apps took the limelight next door.

🎬 School of Magical Animals 3
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. :)

Nettes Wohlfühlkino. Gute Songs. Tochter happy. Was will man mehr!?

Hesitantly booked my first cycling trip to France in order to watch the start of #TDF2025 in July. Praying it won't rain heavily and all the potential fail points of trains/ferry/cycling on foreign roads won't scupper it
16 years ago today I wrote up and posted a proposal for a new calendar: newcal.orgHaving long been frustrated by unnecessary unevenness and other quirks of the Gregorian calendar, I designed and wrote up a more ordered, mathematically simpler, and more continuously consistent...

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.
🎬 Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai
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.

Owning It
For the second time now, someone mentioned to me that it is kind of paradoxical that my newsletter, which is called “Own Your Web”, is not hosted on my own server or under my own domain but on Buttondown.
And yes, they are right. I realize that this is kind of not walking th...
🔗 December 2023 – Daniel Pietzsch’s Photo Journal
I managed to wrap up my photos from 2023 on the last day of 2024. Hooray!
Your typical December photos.
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

Yesterday https://last.fm/ (@lastfm) emailed their year in review reports, which they called #Playback24 and Last.Year.Kudos to them for waiting until the new year to do so, and breaking with the pattern of services prematurely posting year in review summaries.¹They’re also a...
The #indieweb is more than #independence. It’s also a web, of both personal sites and “third place” sites like aggregators, bridges, proxies, directories, indexes, and other community sites.Broadly speaking, such “third place” sites include places we collectively contribute t...

Good to be beside the sea and soaking up the first sunny day of 2025
When we say #ownYourData we mean whatever data is important to you, like the data services aggregate about you and present back to you. Owning that data means extracting it into a form you can hang onto regardless of what the service does in the future (or disappears), and pu...
