Of Days

I have thought about winter through all the seasons this year. The season has become something of a frame of reference – of times when days are shorter and the air is colder, and of times where the brilliant blue skies come alive in the stillness of the season. I spend less ...

Wonders of Web Weaving, Episode 22

The twenty-second episode of Wonders of Web Weaving is out:

In Episode 22, I chat with Tracy, the author of tracydurnell.com about, how websites fit into writing, writing series of posts, websites as part of conversations, and more.

I hope you enjoy the episode!

The episode was released on Tuesday, October 11th. I usually publish the blog post announcement on the day, but I forgot this week.

Walking

I stand before Nature, looking up to a castle bathed in gold light. What are perfect places? I wonder if this is the closest I’ll find: with the air of home and the light of Day, with the breeze in the trees and history to see; with life in the moment and rhythm and movement...

The views

“Wow, look at the views!” called out a young girl, maybe four years old, on the train. After making a few more observations, she repeated the words — “Look at the views.” — then said “Dad, I can see the forest.” “Wow, look at those stones. They are so big.”

It was a delight to hear the world narrated through another’s eyes, to have what I saw out the window verbalised, giving room for me to think about the forest, to notice the stones — to hear how there is always something to see wherever we look.

The family were a few tables away, but their voices carried far.

Bugged Out

I had an awesome time and danced none stop, I spent most of my time in Room Y. The room was rammed but there was a small area behind the DJ booth with space to dance.

I danced solidly for 7 hours, with only a 30 minute break to get some food, in total I did over 42000 steps.

Sunflowers in the Sky

“I wonder what it’s like – “ “You can keep wondering”, said Oliver, interrupting Jenny. “It’s not real. It can’t be real. I mean, you’re studying physics. Tell me on what basis people could fly.” Oliver was a terrific tutor, but never quite mastered the art of tact in conve...

📄 FLE updates

Last week, I received a nice comment about my little 35mm Focal Length
Equivalents site (short: FLE). And that was enough motivation to improve
the site. I still had - and still have - ideas to improve the site, and so
I spent some hours to make it a little better.

Autumn days

Gusts of wind blow away the red leaves on the tall tree, propelling colour into the air that washes over the sky and slowly falls to the ground with the invisible current. In the foreground, small drops of rain are blown sideways. Standing by the window, I am watching autumn...

Song

I want to give all my breath to the song, listening to every transcendent, liminal, spooky note, accompanied by intertwined tracks of coded and pure voice. I want to sing out the words I know loudly, and read all those I don’t know so that I may sing as much as I can with al...

🎬 Project Hail Mary

letterboxd.com/danielpietzsch/film/project-hail-mary/

Movie poster for “Project Hail Mary”.

It’s a space movie. I like space movies. But this is not the best of its genre IMHO. I can’t complain about how it’s made, really. I definitely enjoyed the acting and most of the visuals and sets.

Rocky is very cute and I like how their friendship develops. I found the flashbacks on Earth were a bit too silly. And this could have been shorter. So, this is definitely more on the “light entertainment” side of space movies. I guess I generally prefer my space movies more doomy and gloomy instead.

But was ok overall.
