I'm not a visual artist, yet, sometimes for other projects, I prefer to cobble something up. There is no way I'm ever using gen AI.

Spent a prolonged weekend with my partner in the wonderful city of Bremen (with an excursion to Bremerhaven), and had a blast. We visited the local Radio Broadcast museum for me to nerd about, and the (incredible) German Emigration Center.
