Yesterday, I participated at the Lausanne Marathon – my first-ever race at that distance. Now, on the day after the big event, I want to recap a bit and write about my experience. For future me and maybe for you as well, if you’re interested and perhaps even want to run a marathon yourself. The result First things...

I’m currently on and off designing and building v2 of this website. Along the way, I’ve been looking for some fonts that I could use for my new branding. As a future reference for me and hopefully as inspiration for you, I wanted to share some of the gems I found: Host Grotesk A beautiful sans-serif font that works...

I quite like this definition of success by Will Ahmed, the founder of Whoop: Success is being excited to go to work and being excited to come home. Sounds like the recipe for a good and fulfilling life. Discovered via Aaron Francis’ Newsletter. View on site | Reply via email

Number Go Up by Zeke Faux is a unique blend of investigative journalism, social commentary and a true crime recount of some of the biggest frauds in recent years. And it was an interesting read because I experienced most of the stories told in the book in real time. Zeke’s book documents the 2020–2022 hype-cycle and...

Just a short little update because I have been quite silent on this blog the past few weeks. Currently, I am in between the two exam seasons after my second semester at uni. I still work part-time during the summer and obviously have to start preparing a bit for my upcoming math exam in September, but I still enjoy...

Just two running-related ads I came around today that immediately made me wanna put on my running shoes and head out. Both have this highly polished but still raw and imperfect aesthetic that I really like. Kinda like if Beef was an ad. The first one is from Strava: The second one from Nike1: The latter was...

Long time, no see – hi again! If you’re a regular visitor of this blog, you might have noticed that my post frequency on here dropped quite a bit since starting uni. And even more so since the start of the new year. But a lot has happened and changed meanwhile, so that’s what I want to talk about in this post. Let’s...

I’d choose to use a Mac over a Windows machine every time in a heartbeat. It’s just the best OS out there (in my humble opinion). Still, it’s not perfect and there are a few gripes I have with the system. Luckily, there is an app out there that fixes many of these annoyances. I first heard about it in a video from...

Recently, there was this insightful interview in our local newspaper that I found really interesting and seemed almost philosophical to me. So I decided to curate and share some passages. For context, the interview is with a man named Mr. Wagner, who turned 105 years old a couple of weeks back. It’s titled “high...

Today, I was reminded once again of how great the early hours of a day can feel. As I’m currently preparing for my last two (but unfortunately hardest) exams of the semester, I got up early to be at the university library as soon as it opened. Apart from the “getting out of bed” part of said plan, this always turns...

After building my own personal home on the internet (you’re visiting it right now, hi 👋), I think I finally found my social home as well. Ok, that sounds a bit dramatic. But I am now a part of omg.lol, the proud owner of the “best internet address that I’ve ever had” and a new member of a pretty cool and wholesome...

I’m currently in the middle of exam season and wanted to share a quick tip that helps me enormously when I get nervous or tense right before a quiz. It also helps with studying in general or whenever you have something important coming up. It sounds far too simple, but listening to the soundtracks of iconic movies...
