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.

🎬 Hot Fuzz

Didn't remember the action-laden ending to be this long. But apart from this, solidly funny entertainment!

🎬 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!

🎬 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...

Is Histamine Intolerance a Thing?

Marieke Hendriksen, of the Royal Academy of Arts and Sciences in Amsterdam, told me in a recent conversation that her new junior researcher had “got an allergic reaction and ended up in A&E” as a result of eating too much fermented food. In the past, Marieke added, “beca...

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.

Monthly report: September 2025

I thought I might get this done two days ago, and then yesterday arrived with an onslaught of Russian spambots abusing the comment form. I think that’s fixed, at least enough to recall the glories of September. Highlights of the months: Got back into the podcast season Loc...

Making Space

Gregory Scott, founder of Kush Audio, shared an interesting insight about mixing music the other day: Sometimes, to bring something forward in the mix, instead of turning it up, it can be more effective to actually turn all the other things down. Let’s say you realise that ...
