A database maintenance error email recently reminded me that this website exists. I shut down all my twitter accounts a while ago, the last instance of a platform I’d been actively using for a long time and that had led to some really good and fun things in my life (people! Jobs! Fun!). Over the… Continue reading Twenty-twenty-five

The morning five days before Christmas was uneventful
The dishwasher broke. Last night, I’d meant to run it, either forgot to turn it on or did it wrong, so it didn’t run and when I realized on my way to bed, it was too late and I programmed it to start in the morning. When I got up this morning to make my… Continue reading The morning five days before Christmas was uneventful

I don’t even remember when I stopped writing. When I say writing, I don’t mean the process of learning how to draw a letter, maybe an a or a t, and taking a finger, a pen, or a keyboard, to create chains of letters and turning them into small bracelets that become necklaces which become… Continue reading Inventory
Twenty-twenty
Well. It’s really hard to even say anything meaningful about this. I went back and forth on what to write about it and ended up deleting it all. It’s been a year of missing: people, above all, and connection, places, and opportunities. It’s also been among the years of my biggest growth so far, personally… Continue reading Twenty-twenty
On practice (and perfect)
Six months ago, I had my first piano lesson. That’s the easiest way to put it. The much truer, and, as always with that, more complicated version of the one sentence above is: I’ve been wanting to play the piano for a very long time: at first, mostly because I found the instrument beautiful, in… Continue reading On practice (and perfect)
Twenty-Eighteen
This was quite something. Thinking about it and going over last year’s events, I’m not quite sure how all of it ever fit into one year. As I’m writing this, I’m sitting on a red couch with a piano nearby while the wind is blowing outside, I just had some tea and mini pizzas, and,… Continue reading Twenty-Eighteen
Eleven rainbows: Melbourne in Winter 2017
This is a diary of my time in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, containing musings, thoughts, notes written down in June and July 2017. Edited in August 2017 and February 2018. The number of rainbows is true and something else; everything else is as true as you need it to be. Day 1 A bird on a… Continue reading Eleven rainbows: Melbourne in Winter 2017

As I’m writing these lines, I’m sitting at Munich Airport. I’m waiting for my flight home after spending the last two days on a pretty spontaneuos trip to Munich for JS Kongress. Despite knowing of the event, I hadn’t even thought about, let alone planned to go, since I wasn’t feeling very well (and even… Continue reading On community
March 2017
Now that the server problems are fixed and I secretly snuck the February blog post out in the open (potential oxymoron? Let’s not think about that, maybe), we’re officially back on track with a look back at March. March was the month of added time zone headaches, and an overall interesting month – one of these times when photos are,… Continue reading March 2017
Love for books, mangos and Heavy Metal: December 2016
I’d really like to start this post by saying that I tried very hard to finish this in time with the year in review post for the year of 2016. But, honestly, I didn’t even try. For some reason, finishing the post about the whole year felt much more urgent. But December was a not-half-bad month in the… Continue reading Love for books, mangos and Heavy Metal: December 2016
