Sci-fi aficionado, 📷 by passion, I like snorkeling, long walks, cooking, good 📚, 🎞️, 😺🐈, and nice conversations on way too many topics.

iOS 🧑🏻‍💻, but been developing for a long time with probably too many languages and techs.

A wooden table in a public park, with attached seating, but with the left part hanging longer than the seating bench, so has to allow enough space to accommodate two people (one on each side) in wheelchairs. The photo has been taken in a public park picnic zone, just outside Bergen, Norway.

Just finished reading “REPLAY: Memoir of an uprooted family” by @jmechner.bsky.social

It’s beautiful. A work of art, and love.

Do yourself a favor: buy it and read it (and while you’re at it, I also suggest getting the 30th ann. ed of “The Making of Prince of Persia”).

A person is holding a book titled "REPLAY" by Jordan Mechner, which features a cover illustration depicting scenes of travel and family experiences. In the background, a black and white cat is curled up on a colorful blanket on a couch. The image features an open graphic novel displaying a conversation between two characters. They discuss family history, referencing events like World War I and the impacts of Nazi Germany. Different accent colors in the panels are used to indicate the years in which each one is taking place (yellow for current events, blue for the 1990s or so, and brownish grey for 1938 or thereabouts). A person's lap is shown holding the back cover of the book "REPLAY" by Jordan Mechner against a backdrop of a cozy living space. A black and white cat is sleeping on a colorful blanket on a couch nearby.
