Today I started meditating again. It felt good. I really need to get a more regular schedule going again.

Bluffworks Chinos

My new Bluffworks Chinos just arrived and they are a great fit. Very comfortable to wear. The fabric is nicer on the skin then their regular travel pants and they feel a bit warmer as well, which is nice in the winter with temperatures of -10°C. Overall I am a very happy customer if it weren’t for the horrendous import tax and the slow customs processing, none of which is Bluffworks’ fault of course.

"Shipment on hold" I find it astounding that you can order something from the US and it takes less then a day to arrive in Germany only to be stuck in customs for over a week now. Seriously?!


Today’s goal: take a bubble bath. (I know. I try to not set my goals too high. Also, achieving this goal is harder then it sounds.)


Pancakes for breakfast make for a great Saturday starter.


First micro.blog test post via Alfred and Git push. So exciting!

Indie Microblogging: owning your short-form writing

Manton Reece has released his Kickstarter project into the wild. It’s his take on what a decentralized micro blogging—or short form posting—might look like. It looks like he might make his 80k stretch goal. Please take a few minutes and listen to his pitch. Maybe it’s of interest to you. Manton and all us backers would appreciate the help.

Book Recommendation – The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck

Mark Manson has an entertaining writing style and enough insight to make this book a fun and interesting read. In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be positive all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people. For decades we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. “Fck positivity,” Mark Manson says.
