It’s not far from Mutoid Man to Converge. And then their latest album is a collaboration with Chelsea Wolfe!? Sign me up! This seems to be atypical, but I like this a lot. A great album front to back!

It’s the month of July.
Two parties, some rare visitors, a camping trip, a Krimidinner, and some horse riding.
🎬 Demons 2
I think I have a soft spot for those old Italian horror film. The setdesign, the make up, the fantastic old school effects, the music, theacting, the not-taking-themselves-to-seriously. Good stuff, in my humbleopinion.
🎬 The Brood
This could have been something. The Brood is really quite terrifying.But it didn‘t really came into action all that often. Instead, the moviespend a lot of time with slow-paced dialogue. And I think I didn‘treally get what the ending was hinting at.
🎬 Pumpkinhead
I thought there was a lot of good stuff in here: foremost thePumpkinhead monster itself – but also the visuals in general. Thecharacters are good too, it even has some well thought out dramaelements. But in the end the sum of its parts didn‘t really add up to awell rounded movie. Was still entertaining, though.
🎬 Slugs
The story is pretty conventional. But I was in the mood for that. Hassome cool effects and is fast-paced and entertaining.
🎬 Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron
A totally fine movie. Zoe liked it, but in my opinion it’s not the mostappropriate film for a five year old due to quite a few threateninggestures, themes and scenes.
📖 Die Kunst des klaren Denkens – Rolf Dobelli
Kurzweiliges Buch über viele typische Denkfehler. Viele kannte ich schon mit Namen, einige ohne Namen, und einige waren mir so explizit neu.
Aufgrund der Menge an Denkfehlern (=Kapitelanzahl) bleibt nicht alles beim ersten Lesen hängen. Das Buch kann man sich aber gut in den Schrank als Referenz stellen.
📄 Crash
On Sunday, June 25th 2023, we were involved in a car crash on the Autobahn. While our camper is beyond repair, we were very lucky and escaped with only minor injuries.

The New CSS
Alright, let’s write more about CSS! CSS! CSS!
Change
I’ve been writing CSS since the early 2000s, shortly after we ditched building web layouts with tables and spacer GIFs in favor of hacking our designs together with floats. CSS has since become my favorite programming lan...
Chaining Declarations via Animation Composition
I just returned from this year's CSS Day in Amsterdam, and it was fantastic! Year after year, PPK and Krijn organize one of the best conferences you can wish for: The program is mind-blowing with the best of speakers coming from all over the world, and at the same time they ...
🎬 In Bruges
Having just been to Bruges, it seemed fitting to watch In Bruges. I canconfirm it’s not a shithole. Fuckin‘ Bruges. That’s my kind of fuckin’film: quirky characters of a shady „occupation“, a bizarre yet coherentplot, with serious and funny elements, and overall very entertaining.All in just over 100 minutes.
🎬 Beau Is Afraid
Of course, Joaquin Phoenix is fantastic. And it is visually actuallypretty sweet. But oh man, it’s just 3 hours of absurdities. Way over thetop. Not really my thing.
🎬 The Bad Batch
This review may contain spoilers. Tap or click to view.
Compared to Ana Lily Amirpour‘s other films, this was lacking. Somehow the setting and vibe didn’t get me as much. Worse dialogue, and too long. And I have to admit that I find realistic cannibal scenes quite repelling. I’d rather happily rewatch her other movies.

📄 View Transitions
Prompted by Jeremy’s post on the topic, I’ve been trying out the brand new view transitions API for multi page apps – i.e. normal websites.
Since my previous CMS forestry.io stopped working, and its successor TinaCMS doesn‘t work with my setup, I replaced it with Decap CMS (previously Netflify CMS). I needed to add some CSS overrides, though, so it actually works on a small phone-sized screen – which to my suprise it didn’t out of the box.
Anyhow, I’m pretty pleased with the replacement and this is the first post using my new CMS.
🎧 As the Kingdom Drowns – Psycroptic
As I noted once before, I really like this album, and especially Joe Haley’s guitar playing. But this also has great drumming, bass playing and vocals. All delivered with a heavy and clear sound. Also, look at that cover!
