My home page is a poem. I designed it in this way to explore the extent to which a literary medium – a poem – could be used for navigation, for way finding. Poems help me see the world differently, to navigate thoughts. So too does navigation: every link is a bridge to a new...
Today’s #WASSUP tip: a search shortcut for saving pages in the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine.Yes this is a lot like yesterday’s tip, except for archiving a page, rather than looking it up. For example if you try looking up a page in the Internet Archive and it’s not ther...
Starry night
I close my eyes and I can still see the blanket of stars that I saw moments ago when I was leaning as close as I could into the glass of the window such that I could see as many stars as possible. Such is the impression that the stars made that I can see them in my mind even...
Autumn
Summer is becoming autumn: as days pass, the green leaves slowly turn yellow. The sun is so bright right now that the distinction between the green and the yellows on nearby trees is hard to see, but in my memory of walks I see paths lined with mostly green trees; some trees...
Second year
I woke up in excitement this morning. Today is the day I can start to access my course materials for next year. My second year of university doesn’t officially start for another few weeks, but from today I can start reading through the introductory material. I spent the morn...
Musical dreams
We’ve gotta keep going. The words flowed back to me with unexpected fluency; the sound of the song was all it took. I sang word after word, words deep within that I forgot were there, a reminder of how much I loved the song, of how much I listened, and, in this case, of how ...
Making memories with music
You get that darkness out your head, yeah
You had it with you from the start
The lightning in your heart
~ Kid, The Revivalists
Last evening – and for the last few days – I have been feeling a little bit down. But music was with me, and helped me see through the grey clouds...

Excuse my French here – but with a late grandfather who co-founded a local SA group and was later let off as a “Mitläufer” thanks to a Jewish lawyer, as I recently learned, I’m done with nuance when it comes to this idiotic, wrong, and destructive way of looking at the world and life in general. #nazisraus #noAfD
Timing events in code
Earlier this year I noticed my Artemis reader page (the page that lists posts published by sites to which I am subscribed) was loading slowly. The logic to generate the page encompasses several hundred lines of code, which do everything from retrieving posts from the databas...

Complements: Art history, writing
Earlier this week I was chatting with a friend about the skills I am learning from art history. One of the most influential concepts I have learned is to “look closely”. The idea is to spend time with a single thing – to study it closely – and think about what you see in mor...
Fuck the AfD and everyone who voted for them today. You should be ashamed of yourself. Fascist losers. #nazisraus #noAfD
🎬 The Northman
That’s not a movie for me. I really did not care about anything or anyone in this. The story is boring and it’s all pretty pointless. While some images are great, the dream-like sequences border on ugly. Then it has some short funny scenes weirdly inserted. The end At the Gates of Hel is just disappointing. I’m sorry.
📖 Es war nicht anders möglich – Svenja Liesau
Absolut wahnsinniges Buch über das und aus dem Bewusstsein einer Irren. Aber einer intelligenten Irren.
Ewige Gedankenabschweifungen und Erzählungen u.A. über die Leute, die sie kennt oder glaubt zu kennen.
Sehr lustig, aber auch etwas tragisch. Super unterhaltsam geschrieben. Nicht lang. Empfehlung! Man sollte allerdings vielleicht nicht zu zart besaitet sein.
