Swiss Army Man
Swiss Army Man is a long bromantic fart joke going serious and we get to witness that not even death can stop bros from connecting over a woman's rejection. It also is a fragile, funny and beautiful film.
Merry whatever watching
I am currently celebrating the end of 2016 by having got stuck in a bingewatching hole that is quite soothing and well-deserved after last week's stress, so no false shame here. Here's what I've seen so far: The Return of Doctor Mysterio was a nice one. Maybe a tad too family friendly. It is not…

Was ich so treibe
Es ist erstaunlich, wieviele Dinge du tun kannst und dir bleibt trotzdem dabei das Gefühl, du müsstest eigentlich noch viel mehr leisten können. Die absurde Sehnsucht nach handwerklicher Arbeit, bei der du im Gegensatz zu sehr vielen Bereichen der Geistesarbeit irgendwas Handfestes vor dir liegen hast, hat mich heute dazu verleitet aus einer schnöden Fertigpackung…
Pokémon Quo?
Nevermind Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality (or Mixed Reality) will bring a whole new WTF level to everything, and by WTF I mean that it will make many people aware of the different kinds of reality they live and question what even is 'real'.
Is the internet sad?
Does the internet know the pattern of my ups and downs? Does the internet know why I'm quiet, why I'm noisy? When my absence means I'm broken and paranoid and when it means retreat and peace? Does the internet know when I'm all retweets I might be too fragile too offer anything that might spark…
