wLOG_01
Starting with this post I will try to write once a week about topics that I find interesting or things that catched my attention to some degree. As I intend to do this on a regular basis but since I do not yet know if I will be able to stick to the routine of writing a weekly column, I chose the rather cryptic title of wlog_n, where n will take the value of an…

Resumption
Feel the emptiness. I have not been able to write for 8 months. Not technically, of course. Still things have happened which I would have found worth blogging about. However, as 2019 marked the breakup of my 20-year-long marriage I had to sell the common house and move with Madog to an appartment. Unfortunately Madog was not allowed to accompany me longer in this new phase of my life, so that from then on I…

Obituary to Madog
One week ago, left this world, you have. It was the 21st of May when the phone rang in the middle of the night. Confused I stumbled out of bed to switch off the alarm and get ready for work but the next moment, before I could even grab my iPhone I knew that it was not the sound of the alarm but the ring tone of a telephone call I did not ever want…

MEANING is the WAVE
What can be more pleasant than listening to a podcast and learning new things through meaningful thoughts or conversation?

Episode VIII

As I wanted to write about the podcasts I like listening to I managed to keep posting continuously on a weekly basis about several podcasting topics before later starting to write about other topics, too. By then, weekly blogging had…

the greatest show on earth
This weekend marked the start of the 2019 MotoGP World Championship. For fans of circuit racing the Grand Prix circus of the two-wheelers surely is one of the most exciting series to watch. The first Grand Prix was held today mainly under floodlight at the Losail International Circuit in the Qatari desert. The opening Moto3 race went to Kaito Toba who is the first Japanese motorcycle racer to score a win in the entry level…

Zuckermaw
In my last post I wrote about Fab’s new podcast Morning Call. If you are kinda geek and still have not checked his informative and funny way of serving fresh tech news weekdays I strongly recommend you to watch Morning Call for Friday, 22/02/2019 because while reporting about some Facebook related news Fab let himself go into a hilarious rant about “creepy fishman Zuckerberg” that made my day and still makes me laugh while I…
