I have a bad feeling about this. Today I went for a walk first through the forest, and then across the field. The sun was shining and the temperature was just right for keeping the hat in the pocket. I enjoyed breathing the clean air and listening to a podcast. Some mountain bikers and hikers crossed my way and in the wood a guy was sitting on a bench reading on a backlit e-reader screen.…

Haut fält et mer schwéier op englesch ze schreiwen, sou dass ech dëse Bäitrag op lëtzebuergesch tippen. Well ech samschdes dee ganzen Dag Formatioun hat, huet sech mäi Weekend zimlech kuerz ugefillt. Ech hu sonndes du vum angenehme Wieder profitéiert a mol rëm e längeren Trëppeltour iwwer d’Gewan gemaacht. Als Podcast fir ënnerwee hunn ech ee Virtrag vum Jordan B. Peterson gelauschtert. Mäi Podcatcher ass an der Lescht ëmmer zimlech gutt gefëllt, sou dass ech…

This week has shown the first signs of winter with enough snow falling last Wednesday to create even more traffic jams as usual on the Grand Duchy’s streets. As I am really not fond anymore of driving around on this country’s overcrowded roads let alone in dangerous conditions, I did not mind to see the rain already returning the next day. I am following the news closely through Twitter, podcasts and I subsequently read linked…

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…

MEANING is the WAVE
What can be more pleasant than listening to a podcast and learning new things through meaningful thoughts or conversation? Akira The Don has found the answer to that question by combining excerpts of speech from eminent thinkers like Terence McKenna, Jordan B. Peterson, David Foster Wallace or Alan Watts, to name but a few, with matching musical rhythms. As I rarely listen to DJ sets and even more rarely am used to attend parties since…

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…
