Michelle Lee appears to be some sort of fitness and travel influencer in her (you will be shocked) mid-20s. She is fit and attractive. It’s not a particularly old account.

Ha, nice! Had a great time with this last night. Maybe I was a little too tired to follow the fast-paced plot and its twists and turns at all stages. But regardless, this was really funny, had great action, great dialogue, and the two detectives were just perfect. I especially like Ryan Goslings acting. A movie I could easily enjoy multiple times.

Wow, I haven't seen this in a long time. And I pretty much couldn't remember the second half. Enjoyed this a lot. The characters, the sets and the visuals in general, the soundtrack. The content is often questionable. It's partly gross, yet cheekily funny, but always entertaining.

The interesting thing to me when watching old classics like this, is how I discover how influential they have been. Or at least I think I do see those references in other movies. Anyway, I saw elements of Wes Anderson, Michael Haneke and Yorgos Lanthimos in there; and certainly forget a whole bunch of others.

Saw this at the Metropol, where the staff gave yet another lovely introduction to the film.

When YouTube tries to suck you in to the Shorts, that is all they will display on your screen. They might hide the video description away in a menu (you know, the place where some creators like to hide the fact they might be sponsored). They might push you to take certain actions (swap the Subscribe button for the paid Join button).

So it might be good to know that every short is (also) a video. You can take any URL for a short and turn it into a video URL:

  https://www.youtube.com/shorts/rBIVY40gKVc
⤷ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBIVY40gKVc

Now sit back and enjoy the known YouTube UI. As a bonus this also gives access to YouTube’s video transcripts where available.

From my testing it does not seem the oposite is true. Every video is not a short. Trying to open a normal (long form) video on a /shorts/ path will automatically redirect to the full UI.

OB today was fun again. Not much else to say. Not today. Be well. Ride waves.

Obsidian is my personal knowledge management (PKM) system of choice. I had it already in use since its alpha period, but rediscovered it again in 2023. In the meantime, cool features had been added, such as live synchronization across multiple devices via a free plugin (so you don't have to rely on the paid service Obsidian offers itself).

Nowadays Obsidian is the daily driver for my knowledge collection, gathering inputs from various sources such as Readwise, Goodreads, Snipd as well as manual input. It has replaced Evernote in this regard which I used for many years.

Obsidian also powers this website via its digital garden plugin. For now, I couldn't be happier with the workflow that allows me to publish notes from my Obsidian vault to the website with three clicks.

Oh, I never linked to Florian’s full gallery of Beyond Tellerrand 2025 photos. You might spot me in those!

As someone who has been using their iPad for most of their mobile computing tasks, I very much welcome all those new updates coming with iPadOS 26.

I’ve had this album on my radar already. But it needed their fantastic live gig at this year’s Rock Hard festival to remind me to give it another listen. And I missed out! Great melodies, all the instruments deserve being listened to, and above all is this great emotional voice.

It’s June! And it’s gloom. I am well. To the extent that the world is, besides me being fine, not fine. The world is not okay but the world soldiers on. But my spirits are good. But then, when I, as a wee lad, lived in the dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos I was also relatively...

…the moderates are always, either consciously or unconsciously, working with the authoritarians and enabling their agenda. We are, according to those who want nothing more than to maintain control, supposed to protest enough, but not too much. Because we should rely on them. Because we need to maintain our subservient position under the party as...

If you want to access a JSON file from a remote server in Obsidian, DataviewJS is your friend. You have to rely on the requestUrl() method, though, as a classic fetch() fails because of CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing). Another option, dv.io.load() from Dataview, can onl...
