• Currently reading: Die Erzählungen und andere ausgewählte Prosa by Franz Kafka 📚

    Book 1 of 100 Books

  • New Year’s Resolution 📚

    I’m starting a long-term reading project: German weekly „Die Zeit“ has compiled a new 100 book selection of world literature. I will try to read all of them and keep track on a dedicated blog page (100 Books). This could easily take 10+ years, so let’s get started.

  • Finished reading: The Golden Enclaves by Naomi Novik 📚

    Wow! Read the whole trilogy in 3 weeks after buying it as a gift initially. Very interesting ideas about a society of wizards and the mechanics of working magic. The protagonists are students and later graduates of a school for wizardry but this is by no means a Harry Potter rip-off and not really a YA novel. Highly recommend.

  • Currently reading: Die Flamme der Freiheit by Jörg Bong 📚

    Half way through, it is a very readable account of the March Revolution 1848 in Germany. Already looking forward to the planned next two volumes.

  • After the morning swim. 7:50, Berlin, Germany

  • Currently reading: Leviathan Wakes by James S. A. Corey 📚

    I have enjoyed the TV series very much so far. High time to start reading the novels.

  • Currently reading: The Victorian Internet 📚

  • Currently reading: Die Star Trek Physik by Metin Tolan 📚

    This will shorten the wait for the next season of Discovery.

  • Signed up for a 70.3 Triathlon next summer. Managed half the distance before, so this will be the next level. 🏃

  • Happy Halloween 🎃

  • WWDC was quite interesting. Looking forward to Universal Control, Widgets on iPad and Shortcuts on Mac.

  • February 2021 Photoblogging Challenge Day 01 - close up

  • Found this in the Discover Feed and would like to recommend @cliffordbeshers for Mircro Monday.

    See the flow. Clouds form as air pressure changes around the mountain. South-central Wyoming.

  • A semblance of winter today in Berlin.
    Reminds me of Pieter Brueghel somehow.

  • Currently reading: Burning Chrome by William F. Gibson 📚
    (Re-)Read all the Gibson novels in 2020, now on to the short stories.
    Then The Difference Engine will follow.

  • As usual, we had snacks on New Year’s Eve - just with fewer guests…

    All the best for 2021!

  • Was running near the lake this morning. Enjoying the sunny outdoors and exercising helped to calm my mind. #mbnov

  • This November does astonish - close to 20 degrees Celsius and extended sunshine. #mbnov

  • Got introduced to “Money Heist” on Netflix the past weekend 📺 which made for some fun bingeing. But today I need to concentrate on work again. #mbnov

  • November really starts dreary. Grey skies, constant drizzle, the sun seems not to rise at all. But there is beauty in it as well - and joy. Went for a morning run and savored the hot shower afterwards. #mbnov

  • Berlin, 8:49

    Staycation
