After years of online hiatus I have decided to make Micro.Blog my main site. Of course, it is not as simple as it sounds. For example, none of my already existsing posts show on the homepage (https://alexkucera.micro.blog). Also I have issues with pointing my domain (alexanderkucera.com) to my Micro.blog page. But I am slowly chipping away at my issues. I am sure I will prevail. Eventually…


Yesterday I came across one of the most German things I have seen in a long time. Apparently there is such a thing as an “Arbeitsschutzgetränk”, which means “worker protection drink”. In essence it is an isotonic drink for workers in high heat work places. But I find it hilarious that we Germans felt the need to come up with a convoluted word for it.


Go ahead. Don’t vote. You don’t want to anyway.

Drive Act 2 is on Kickstarter! Go get it if you even remotely like science fiction and/or comedy.


Ok. Let’s see. I’ll be trying out posting to Micro.blog directly again for a while. Usually I post to my Kirby blog, but my workflow for that is just a bit convoluted. It might be nice to have a more immediate workflow for a change.


Went to a vascular surgeon today for a checkup. Apparently I have “the veins of a twenty year old”.

Oh boy! I didn’t expect this. Looks like I’ll be working with Blender in a professional setting for the first time since 2005.


Hamburg here I come again. Two weeks of sunshine (right Hamburg?), shopping, meeting friends…and oh yeah work.

In the office this afternoon. I can’t wait to get the last few (known) bugs of vrscene GUI squashed. Then it’s on to figuring out trial mode and licensing.


Ah…pink eye (iritis)…how I’ve missed you. Not.
