⇾ C64 Mini

The new C64 Mini – an homage to the original C64

I mean, I still have a couple of real C64 in my house, but maybe a nice thing and if only for the good memories. ;)

The C64 Mini is announced to be coming in March.

⇾ The Art of Flying – Movie

Wow. This is simply beautiful. Watch the mysterious flights of the Common Starling. Filmed by filmmaker Jan van IJken. I could watch this for hours.

The French photographer Romain Thiery created a stunning set of photos called Nature Takes Over, in which nature takes back buildings and landscapes.

A beautiful and melancholic atmosphere.

⇾ Bren’s Plastic Player now Open Source

Lovely to see that Brendan Dawes opensourced his Plastic Player. I’d love to have one and now, if I find time in any corner of my room, I am able to build one myself. Don’t know about Bren’s Plastic Player? Check this:

Global Diversity CFP Day Berlin

Next Saturday, numerous workshops around the world are held to help people becoming more experienced in public speaking. I was getting notice of these events way too late, as I woiuld have loved to organise one. But if you are around Berlin, you might want to check what Stefan Judis is organising.

Great idea. I hope there will be more of it.

iA Writer for Windows

I just backed the iA Writer for Windows version on Kickstarter with a Premium Supporter package. I don't even use Windows. But you know, I am constantly using Writer on my Mac. I think it is the most used tool on my computer – right after Apple's Mail program. So, I thought I support iA with a few bucks to get a good version for Windows kicked off and I say thanks with that.

Furthermore, why shouldn't Windows users not get a fantastic writing and productivity tool finally?

⇾ The Schedule for beyond tellerrand Munich 2018

I never loose the excitement in creating the schedule for an event. Pure joy, even though stressful joy with a little bit of pressure, if people are going to like it.

So, I sat down again and made a playlist for the mixtape called #btconf Munich. And this is the playing order aka schedule:

Right in time for Christmas it finally arrived. »Change is Good« – a Kickstarter project by Louis Rossetto, which I backed. Designed by Erik Spiekermann and produced at p98a in Berlin.

Photos obviously and of course shot while drinking Letterpresso. ;)

Reading time now …

Depending on the pledge you got a note. Pledged for the first 100 books. Got no. 40

Thank you, Amazon Logistics …

Question: If I’d work for a delivery service and someone is not at home, would I then throw a package with things someone ordered over their fence into the garden, to let it lie in the rain for the whole day?

Yesterday, when I cam home around 10pm, a parcel was lying on the wet lawn, totally soaked. I was completely speechless and wondered: Who the fuck would really think “Hmm … no one at home. I wonder if it is a good idea to throw the shipping into the dirt while it is raining heavily?” I mean, come one, that is something that does not fit into my head. How damn stupid must someone be?!

So please, I am sure the one who did it will never read this, but if you work for Amazon Logistics and ever think of doing this: Please don’t! There might be things in that parcel, that can’t stand rain and might be damaged after being thrown into my garden. Thank you!
