How I find links

This is my (late) contribution to the January 2026 Grizzly Gazette Carnival on the topic “How I ___”, where contributors are invited to fill in the blank. I saw the Carnival a few days ago and, after some thinking, the idea “How I find links” came to mind. Whenever I am on ...

Flowers; snow

There were only one or two other patrons seated with a warm drink on this cool morning. For the first time in a few weeks, I got my favourite table. I’m not sure why it is my favourite, but it is the one I gravitated toward when the place opened. When I looked out the wind...

🎬 The Revenant

Movie poster for “The Revenant”.

Saw this for its 10th anniversary at the Metropol. What a treat! Thoroughly enjoyed this one, letting me absorb into its story, atmosphere and grandiose landscapes. It’s like you’re right there with the protagonists (as far as you can from the comfort of one’s cinema seat). There are so many intense scenes and they’re so masterfully captured and choreographed. Leo and Tommy Hardy are so good (but I was very thankful for subtitles, because I would’ve otherwise been lost with the latter’s accent and mumbling). A must-see!

👍 Recommended!

Saturday morning reading

My warm breath steams up my glasses a little bit. I have my cold pillow resting on my chin. I’m still under the covers. I started my morning with a book, Hot Chocolate on Thursday, a cosy tale that took me to Japan and Sydney all without my leaving my bedroom. I love reading...

New UNSW Sydney research finds vaping likely causes lung and oral cancer: Carcinogens in e-cigarette aerosols show DNA damage, tumours in mice & cellular harm. Please – tell your children, friends, and loved ones who might believe the “vaping is safe" lie of the tobacco industry. 💚

🎬 Frankie Freako

letterboxd.com/danielpietzsch/film/frankie-freako/

Movie poster for “Frankie Freako”.

After the very positive surprise of Psycho Goreman, this is the second movie from the same director. Unfortunately, this is not even close to the quality of PG. The humour is lame and just silly (well, yes, some things were indeed pretty funny, but that was an exception), the characters are not as likeable and the puppets are not that great either. I’d rather watch PG again!

Hello Again, World

On December 24, 1968, Christmas Eve, astronaut William Anders took what would become one of the most consequential photographs in human history. He was aboard Apollo 8, orbiting the Moon for the fourth time, when the spacecraft rotated and the Earth appeared in his window. A...

More examples of graduating between mediums of communication

In “Graduating between mediums of communication”, I explored how we can move between mediums of communication to access different affordances. For example, you might “graduate” from a text chat – for example, a Slack thread – to a video conference in a professional context. ...
