I have no idea who this Ken guy is (the only US sport I like to follow sometimes is basketball, couldn’t care less about the rest) and I have no interest in golf whatsoever – but following a photographer around, covering a (seemingly very prestigious) event is right up my alley. I would have loved more depth, but it is still interesting to see the inner workings of how such a big sports event is covered.

Be careful out there if you commute on a bike. Motorists are crazy.
I just automatically checked the mailbox at our old house. I’ve been doing this for years while walking past it – slipping my hand into the slot to feel whether anything was in there. Did it without thinking, even though it’s no longer our mailbox. Funny how that works.

Got another skate session in before the coming rain. The algorithm might not be wrong in that I would actually really love to learn it! I am pretty good on my inline skates… and I didn’t immediately fall down, when I stood on Lumi’s board. 😎 Plus I am definitely not (too) old!
Watched a couple of skateboarding videos with Lumi on YouTube the other day and now I get a lot of “how to start skateboarding when you are old” suggestions. Effin’ algorithm… 😤
Making this note about scheduling dentist appointments after beyond tellerrand, because even though I was in the chair for 2.5 hours, I am still in a good mood! Nothing can faze me right now!
The only time I ever hear the fan going off in my MacBook – M1 Pro, from 2022, still very happy with it – is when importing a huge number of Fuji images into Lightroom. Does not happen with Leica files. 🤷♂️
😍 Thank you so much, Erica, for your kind words! She was one of the “another successful 365 project” giveaway winners. I love, love, love seeing my zines out in the world! Also reminds me that I really enjoy making them – and I need to get back into it. Also: How cool is the “Zines > Screens” tagline by Véronique?! 💯! Love it!
I need to do some more testing, so why not reference the first post on my photo blog?
It’s called peer pressure!
Since FeedCity supports webmentions when doing likes and shares, I might just test this from here as well…
I recently introduced my daugther to Scratch after she mentioned she would like to create her own video game. „This is much more work than I thought!“ 😊
Speaking of lists: My friend Claudio turned to the ripe old age of 40 a couple of days ago and shared some thoughts.
I turned 40 today and felt like writing down a list of things I learned along the way. Some of it might be redundant, some of it is as melodramatic as a “carpe diem” motivational poster, but hey, I enjoyed writing it and you don’t have to read it. So without further ado, here are 40 things […]
It is a good list. I very much feel the “When people aren’t aware that other people exist” bit – and the issue with bad stickers on new products. Drives me nuts!
Random list of things I hate
Hyde posted about this a while ago and I wanted to give it time to percolate.
The move is finally done. There are little bits and bobs left, some conveniences of life need to still be installed, but the last main thing that was missing, which was our kitchen, is now done. And slowly, I feel like I have a bit more capacity for things that are not strictly family or work.
Nice addition to an already great set of features! If all works to plan, this should show up as a status update on my website any minute now. 😊
You can now share posts on FeedCity. Other citizens can follow you right in the app, others anywhere via RSS.
This move consumed most of my time aside of work, so I am glad it is finally done! Looking forward to making this new place our own and spending some time outside. The weather sure looks helpful.
On the mac I’ve been using the great PDF Expert for almost anything related to PDFs.
On Ubuntu I’ve been looking for simple ways to do pretty much anything in the terminal.
Latest example: combining PDFs. Which turns out to be a very straightforward process using PDF Toolkit:
pdftk file1.pdf file2.pdf file3.pdf cat output combined.pdfThe longest three streaks on my photo blog are now 366, 365, and 364 days.
Joan Westenberg makes a great case for why you should run your own blog:
We’re not going to get a better internet by waiting for platforms to become less extractive. We build it by building it. By maintaining our own spaces, linking to each other, creating the interconnected web of independent sites that the blogosphere once was and could be again.

Only 39 more days until another full year of posting is complete over on the photo blog. The plan is to just keep going this time. 🙌
