Depression: I’m not cured and it can always come back

I’ve been free of symptoms of depression since September, at least until last week. I started to feel agitated, nervous, easily annoyed, sad, alone and unwanted. Over the weekend it became a bit worse. I don’t know the cause. It just came back. It also sneaks its way back into…

Working with a Pixel Slate

The day before Google introduced a bunch of new Pixel devices, I sold off the beloved Pixelbook I wrote about at the end of last year. I never regretted the purchase but I noticed that I wasn’t using it that much because I was working on my company issued Macbook…

Pixel Slate/Pixelbook features don’t work on G-Suite

The Pixelbook and the Slate share one big caveat: Most of their advertised features aren’t available if you’re using a G-Suite account as your primary Google account. And that’s terrible.

The Bicycle Curse

I’m not one for supernatural beliefs, but I’ve noticed a certain pattern that I can’t quite shake off: Whenever I get a new bike, I tend to be involved in a bicycle crash. 2014 I ordered a Canyon RoadLite 7.0. The day before the bike arrived at my doorstep, I…

Düsseldorf, seine Radfahrer und die RP-Online

Ein Freund wies mich heute auf einen Artikel über die Unvernunft der düsseldorfer Radfahrer in der Rheinischen Post hin. Das Solobild zeigt ausgerechnet den neuen Radweg auf der Friedrichstraße — zugeparkt, versteht sich. Arne Lieb beginnt seinen Artikel damit, wie ihm eine Frau auf einem Hollandrad aufgefallen ist, die ihren…
