Suddenly, the summer turned cold — I was not prepared for that. Actually, I was prepared for that, forgot to bring a sweater, though — mostly because it was still in the mid-30s yesterday when I took the train. And now I have two new nice warm hoodies, that’s good.

I have an ambivalent relationship to the idea of cross-posting things from one social media platform to another.
While I’d never even think of auto-posting my Instagram photos to Twitter, I have little shame when putting them up on my blog, usually without context.

One thing that I need to learn (as I get older?) is that “I’ll just take a quick nap, maybe 10 minutes” can’t be a thing around seven in the evening. Even if I set an alarm, I’ll be sleeping until ten or eleven and then my sleep schedule is messed up for good. More time for late-night reading then. For…

I have about half an hour left to write my hundred words for today and I do not have much to say, all things considered.

The big mistake of the day — I seem to have those — was to purchase Cities in Motion 2. As a big fan of Transport Tycoon ever since it came out back in the…

When I was living in Düsseldorf I had a one hour commute every day — each way. Now I have roughly five minutes walking. I know that there are studies upon studies that a short commute makes people happy, but in a way I miss that hour every morning and every evening.

Beats 1 could be what gets me to subscribe to Apple Music. Yes, because I am old and like to listen to radio. A well-curated (sorry!) music selection by someone who knows what they’re doing sounds like a good idea to me. At the moment I am mostly listening to Monocle 24, which is pretty okay, too. A lot…

I find myself in the not very enviable position in which I need a new bag. A proper man purse. It should be big enough for maybe a thick A4 magazine, my iPad and, ugh, yes, the battery pack for my iPhone. I do have a good backpack for when I want to bring my computer, but that doesn’t happen all the…

As they say: expectations tend to lead to disappointment.

Given that I really dislike to be disappointed, I try to go through life without any expectations.
I am aware how that is a statement of huge privilege — of course I expect not to get gunned down while walking around in…

There are a whole bunch of words and phrases that I like in English for which I know no proper German translation.

“Meat sweats” as in: I had a big steak for dinner, it was still 30°C and now that.

Quite often when I tell someone that I am a web developer, people ask me if I can also “do apps.” Very often because they have an idea and if only someone would turn it into an app we would both be rich and wouldn’t that be a great idea? Of course I could “do apps,” if I really wanted to. I poked around…
