Listening Closely
My son, who is the violinist in our family, recently told me an interesting little fact about Augustin Hadelich, one of the greatest violinists alive: it’s hard for him to enjoy other people’s performances. Not because he’s critical or dismissive – to the contrary – but beca...

Compressed Fluid Typography
When it comes to web typography, I’m a sucker for fluid type. I love that it creates a harmonious rhythm for the typography of a project. I love how it speeds up the responsive design process in the browser. And that it feels like you are working with the grain of the web, n...

The Lifeblood of the Web
One Thursday in May, I was sitting in a slightly delayed train, heading home from Düsseldorf after three days of meeting good friends and making new ones at beyond tellerrand, my friend Marc Thiele’s wonderful conference. As usual, after visiting a conference, and beyond tel...

What Could Go Wrong?
In 1986 – when I was four years old – three researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) were working on an idea that would change the world of technology forever: they figured out an efficient way...

🎬 School of Magical Animals 4
Ein weiterer solider Film der Serie, wenn auch nicht ganz so gut, wie die Vorgänger. Besonders die Songs lassen leider in diesem Teil etwas nach. Aber war ne gute Zeit im UCI.
🎬 Bloodsport
Runde Nr. 3! Die Lage spitzt sich zu!
🎬 Hot Fuzz
Didn't remember the action-laden ending to be this long. But apart from this, solidly funny entertainment!
🎬 Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky
Ehhh…whattt??? Jesus. This is just bonkers all the way through. It's wild! I don't really know what to make of this (yet).
🎬 Praxis Dr. Hasenbein
Eieiei ist das behämmert! Und wenn ich mir die Hälfte der Szenen so angucke, fand das Cast das auch!
🎬 Texas - Doc Snyder hält die Welt in Atem
Wesentlich besser als Dr. Hasenbein. Dieser hat in der Tat einen Haufen großartiger Dialoge und Szenen. Das Gitarrensolo! Die ganzen Nasenmann-Szenen. Das Erdbeben. Muss man mal gesehen haben!
🎬 Bibi & Tina: Bewildered and Bewitched
Voll verhext? Voll in Ordnung!
🎬 Bibi & Tina: Girls vs. Boys
Dekadent bereits am Morgen geguckt. Mit Popcorn. Es war super!
🎬 The American Friend
Loved the pictures in this film. Everything's so beautiful and moody. I have never seen Bruno Ganz younger than here, I believe. And he and Dennis Hopper are simply fantastic (and the support cast, too). At first I thought the plot could've been a bit more tightened up, but honestly, I think it's really fits the movie and its characters. And it's certainly entertaining and also quite funny how clumsy they are at times.

That’s My Rank
Have you ever wondered why new CSS features and other web technologies very often seem to just work across browsers these days? The reason is probably: Interop.
The Interop Project is a collaborative effort between major browser makers — Apple, Bocoup, Google, Igalia, Micro...
Visiting the Wedding of the Water
The Delaware River begins as two branches, before converging into the main river and continuing 282 miles to Delaware Bay.
The West Branch begins in Schoharie County and flows down into Delaware County, passing the Cannonsville Reservoir before paralleling Route 17. The East Branch runs from Delaware County through the Pepacton Reservoir before convergence.
The “Wedding of the Water”, the convergence of the east and west branches of the Delaware River is near Hancock, NY.
The closest view that is easily accessible by car is the New York State’s Department of Environmental Conservations Junction Pool…which is a small area with picnic tables popular with fly fisherman because of its relatively safe position to wade into the river.
In fact, I saw several people doing just that.
