🎬 The Blob

Movie poster for “The Blob”.

This was more high-quality than I expected beforehand. Great story, great acting, great visuals, some good humour, and above all: great special effects. Those kills were really fun and well done. My favourite was the whole action in and around the restaurant. When The Blob gets bigger and bigger towards the end, the effect quality sadly suffers quite a bit, and the end itself lacked a little something. But overall, it's been a very entertaining evening!

Best Free Synthesizer Plugins in 2025

I am convinced that it makes total sense to spend a certain amount of your (spare) time on this planet tinkering around and exploring stuff that seems totally useless or silly compared to what you normally do. And without having a real explanation for why it happened, I’ve b...

Tumblr-ing

I now have a website on Tumblr. When I write, I usually have a direction in mind: a point I want to make. Today, however, I find that I instead have the feeling of discovery without yet having the exact words to describe what I want to say. Perhaps if I write a few words I w...

🎧 All We Love We Leave Behind – Converge

More Converge, more betterer! Certainly one of my favourite discoveries in recent years. While I enjoy everyone here, it’s again Ben Koller’s drumming and Nate Newton’s bass playing that fascinate me most. Just listen to that groovy drum rhythm, together with the rather calm bass in “All we love we leave behind”, or this insane drum fill in “Veins and Veils” (again, with a great bass riff). Putting a ride symbol in there like this makes me absolutely addicted, and makes me happy for days.

In the middle ground, there are Gothic buildings in the city of Edinburgh with several turrets and towers, including a University of Edinburgh building. In the background, a tall church spire peeks through the dense fog.

Communicating the indie web

As a technical writer, I ask myself a lot of questions as I prepare material. Who is the audience for the document I am writing? What can I reasonably assume they already know? Given that, what background do I need to include? What do I need to explain? What words can I use t...

Reading

I would like to read a book today! I said to myself with enthusiasm this morning. I used to read every Saturday morning, but as I started visiting more museums I stopped reading as much. I had the same feeling that I felt last week when I was inspired to write: I really want ...

Futures for the web

Xandra asked a terrific question on Mastodon: what does the indie web need the most right now? if that’s kinda hard to answer, to phrase it in another way: if you could snap your fingers and add one of these to the #indieweb, which do you think would have the biggest positiv...

Walking

I want to make the most of the sunshine, I thought to myself as I contemplated going on a second walk. I went for a walk earlier today to get groceries. All walks bring my mind space, but meandering on a favourite path feels more conducive to letting my mind wander. I venture...

Mashups

I have had the question “what is the blog equivalent of a mashup?” in the back of my head for a while. Joe’s most recent blog post, “Return to Mashups”, further has me thinking about this question. What does it mean for a blog post – or an entire blog – to be a mashup? My thi...

I’m writing again… it’s been a while.
My favourite sentence of the post so far:

“And naturally, you also want to avoid FART.” ☺️

🎬 Natural Born Killers

Movie poster for “Natural Born Killers”.

Greatly enjoyed this one. The two are just so sweet. So, I loved Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis here. Tommy Lee Jones was great, too. Greatly reminded me of Wild At Heart. Story and proposition is great two. Reminded me partly of Nightcrawler. And it is just overall funny and weird with wild camera work, which reminded me of Climax. But I would’ve enjoyed one more action scene like the one at the diner at the beginning.
