WWDC is around the corner. Time to dream up what would be awesome, and then have a reality check tomorrow. Hardware An expandable Mac Pro with a competitive price vs. a Windows-based machine (Below €3-4k depending on options) . I want a machine where I can slot in 32Gb of RAM and a super great GPU (like a GTX1080 or something newer). […]

I check the cinema offering every week and to be honest, these days the offering is a bit disappointing. Oscar season has ended and not a lot is being released anymore. Cannes just happened but usually those films only land in the cinema much later. So, to get my movie fix, I mostly resorted to streaming this month. You can […]

When I was on holiday a few months ago, I took a cooking class at Taste of Okinawa. I finally got around to writing a bit about it. The cooking class took place in Naha, Okinawa. Naha is the capital of Okinawa, which is a series of islands in the south of Japan. These islands used to be their own […]

These are the films I’ve seen in cinema in April 2018. Avengers: Infinity War ★★1/2 After the boringness of Black Panther I wondered for a second what I was doing at another Marvel screening, but I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Pro-tip: if you never saw Age of Ultron and you’re not […]

It’s time for another film roundup. These are the films I’ve seen in cinema in February and March 2018. Phantom Thread ★★★ 1/2 PT Anderson’s best movie in a while. I am definitely going to watch this one again. I’ve seen every Oscar nominee for “Best Picture” besides Darkest hour and this one one should have won […]

I am mostly writing this for my own reference. Because of the Sketch mask trick, when trying to export icons they had a mask in them that I did not want. Basically I had to remove all masks across 75 icons. Since SVGs are just text files, you can do some regex processing to find all […]

On a recent trip to Japan, I combined my newfound obsession with cooking with a not-so-common touristic destination. Kappabashi or “Kitchen town” is a street lined with cooking-related stores. It is said that if you can’t find it in Kappabashi, you can’t find it anywhere. You can basically start a restaurant with what you can […]

The past year or so I’ve been on a bit of a quest to improve my cooking. There’s a wealth of info on the internet on how to make almost anything. In my Best of 2017 – YouTube I mentioned 2 cooking channels – not a coincidence! Lately I’ve been into making curries. First I made this Japanese beef […]

As my last film of January I saw The Shape of Water. This is a fantastic movie that is just pure cinema. Some call it a fairytale, some talk about it being a metaphor for the “increasing modern-day non-acceptance of people outside the norm”. Honestly, what I see is Guillermo Del Toro doing what he […]

I was in a screening of The Post. The average age in the room must’ve been higher than 50… probably the people who were alive when all of this happened. This film has gotten some good reviews but it didn’t really do it for me. I didn’t connect with the film at all. There was good imagery and a great […]
