"Your options are rare, medium, well done." -- A House of Dynamite (2025)

Kathryn Bigelow and screenwriter Noah Oppenheim are geniuses.

This movie hits too close home for comfort. With the current geopolitical tensions it is even more worrying.

It is a wonder we're still alive in this timeline.

Ever wondered how mechanical 🇨🇳 Chinese ⌨️ typewriters worked under the hood? Look no further than this. It is an amazing story of ingenuity and creativity.

I didn't expect the Google Pixel 9a to create such a crisp photo in low-light without a tripod.

The urge to hitch a hike to leave this stupid planet is reaching peak intensity... even if it means enduring Vogon poetry.

Duolingo stopped working on my aging Android phone after their big 2025-05-23 update. 🇯🇵 Japanese lessons either won't start, or will abort very early with a green screen.

At least, the web version still works (except for audio input).

Isolophilia (n.): Having a strong affection and preference for solitude, and to be alone.

It is what I felt my whole life. Never knew there was a word for it.

Making a movie is like trying to solve a giant jigsaw puzzle whose pieces are in various stages of making, all the while constantly running out of cardboard material and dealing with broken scissors.

Voting in the 🇩🇪 German Federal Elections felt like having to choose between the Bad, the Ugly, and the Evil. Everything on the ballot is currently absolutely unpalatable. At least, it was a sunny warm Sunday; a much welcome change from last week's freezing cold gloom.

Re-watching Space:1999 Season 1 as a long term Star Trek aficionado feels like cheating on my fave franchise, but in my current gloomy and pensive state of mind, I do feel the need for this kind of deep existential vibes.

Testing the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO for live-streaming to Twitch and other platforms like YouTube. Excellent gear, IMHO. Still getting used to live streaming, but slowly getting there. The worse is camera shyness. It feels SO weird at first, esp. for introverts 😰

Maybe I shouldn't have walked so much immediately after my yearly Covid-19 booster vaccine (and 2 days after the usual flu shot)... But feeling great and energized so far. Ready for the winter.
