7/3666: On mindfulness

Knowing that you are doing things that are wrong, maybe just even that they are wrong for you, is not enough. I find myself working on auto-pilot most of the time. I keep doing the things that I do, reacting the way that I always have, just to repeat the same mistakes and hurt myself [...]

6/366: On dirty tricks

Wanna know a neat trick? Say you wanna use some kind of discount for goods or services, hypothetically. One that you are not eligible for. Again: hypothetically. And lets furthermore say that to use that discount, you have to provide some kind of verification, like a card, or permission slip. Which you might or might [...]

5/366: “Super” Review

So you have seen Batman and you enjoyed it? Did you ever honestly stop and think how messed up the idea of vigilantism is? “Super“, starring Rainn Wilson, Ellen Page, Liv Tyler and Kevin Bacon (and Michael Rooker, because I really enjoy watching his work) is exploring exactly this idea.

What the temperatures are showing though, compared to my rather young memories of winters only 20 years ago, is that global warming [...]

3/366: Nils’s guitar

So I finished my 3rd solid body electric guitar a few weeks ago. It was a Christmas present for my brother, and it went over well. Building this one was interesting. The body and neck came pre-finished, so there was no chance of me messing up the dye and clear coat. The body had a [...]

2/366: Feeling blue, seeing gray.

I am colorblind. I have been diagnosed with red-green blindness since 10th grade, according to my family as soon as kindergarten (nobody thought it’s necessary to tell me until the second diagnosis, apparently).

So I have been following Andrew over at Ye Olde Magick Blogge in his last few months of his all year blogging project. I am impressed. So lets do this. My benefit: I am not limited to a specific topic like Andrew, I can write about whatever strikes my fancy each day. And since I post [...]

Why I will curse DHL with my last dying breath…

I made the mistake of ordering 6 items that were supposed to be delivered via DHL in the weeks before Christmas. This is what happened.

The Flight of the Lindberghs

I had a goosebump moment when I was working on my paper this morning. The following is my translation of an excerpt from “The Flight of the Lindberghs”, a educational radio play by Bertolt Brecht, written in 1930. In this play, the Lindberghs are the audience, who are supposed to speak these lines to the [...]
