I’m Andreas, and this is the place where I write about all the things that catch my interest. It could be books, it could be music, it could be tech (especially retro tech), it could be random musings about society and philosophy or psychology… whatever comes to my mind.

Last week I posted a link to a news aggregator website, which collects links to all different kinds of news articles and blog posts. It was brought to my attention that one of the links on this site pointed to a post titled "Stop Making...
A few weeks ago, Noisy Deadlines posted a list of 5 albums that shaped her taste in music. I was going to write a post like this too, but it completely slipped my mind. Today she published another post about 5 books that shaped her,...
I linked this article by JA Westenberg in my last linkdump, and in it she mentions that she has a "How I AI" section on the about page of her blog. A different post I read this week talks about the authenticity of digital art in an age...
We had a solar eclipse here in Europe last week. I didn't see it this time, but I've seen I think two partial eclipses before and they were always fascinating to witness. We had a total solar eclipse that was visible in South Germany...
I recently started thinking about VCRs, as you do. I'll spare you the train of thought that led me to this, but it started with a conversation about worsening eyesight and then it escalated from there. Anyway, VCRs. I still remember the...
This week, something happened in the world of rock music that nobody thought was ever going to happen again - Ritchie Blackmore rejoined Deep Purple live on stage for the first time in decades. Blackmore is one of my favourite guitar...
This week Ruben wrote about Feeling blue after the end of Heartstopper, his favourite series. I've never heard of this series before and I'm also not the target audience for it, but he said something in his review that got to me: "It’s...
A few days ago I wrote a post titled "Tech sucks: You have to vote with your wallet, or nothing will change". I don't write posts with the intention of getting lots of clicks, but this one seems to have struck a nerve (or the headline...
Recently, someone on Mastodon shared this video titled "Apple Changed..." by a guy named Theo who I'd never heard of, but according to his website he's a guy who "builds things". Apps, presumably. I had nothing better to do (sleepless...
It's currently Blaugust, and so I'm counting all my blog posts this month as Blaugust posts, including the Linkdumps. I told a friend about it and she laughed, because "blau" in German means "blue", like the colour, but it can also mean...
I recently repaired the Micro USB socket of an old Raspberry Pi; the one through which the Pi receives it's power. It was a bit of a fiddly soldering job because the connections for the USB port are tiny. Because of this, I briefly...
Recently a person I'm following on Mastodon posted a picture of two cats. It was cute and kind of funny. I saw it, chuckled and forgot about it. But then someone replied that they ran the picture through an AI checker and according to...
A list of all Blaugust participants was posted yesterday on Nerd Girl Thoughts. I thought it would be nice to have a list of all RSS feeds of these blogs, so I cobbled together a quick and dirty solution. Here's the OPML file. I probably...
Sam from TheTangentSpace published a post a few days ago about his participation in the Blaugust Festival Of Blogging. I remember this from seeing the #blaugust hashtag in previous years, but I never participated, so I thought this year...
Only the good die young All the Evil seem to live forever That's taken from the Iron Maiden song Only the Good Die Young from the Seventh Son of a Seventh Son album. I've been thinking of this lyric a lot recently as I keep seeing good...
