These days I am running as hell from Getting Shit Done™ for the sake of Getting Things Done. Not on live products, not without careful planning and understanding the full scope of the tasks. Helps keeping those hairs on your head. ‘cause there are no quick changes, in the end. Never.

Paranal Observatory in Chile, home of the Very Large Telescope.

Not long ago I learnt about the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile and the use of lasers by observatories. Learn more on the laser use.

The VLT was build in a desert and gets the least amount of noise and interference, making it ideal for deep space examination.

Smokey in the Kitchen by Bambino Dell’Oro, from Record and Ride

Record and Ride is a great project by Nicholas O’Brien, a sound engineer and musician with passion for cycling. The project is a series of sessions recorded on his trips around Europe.

We had the pleasure to listen to these particular fusion pieces at the Catweazle Club. It was one of the rarer nights that we dropped everything and went out to treat ourselves.

And a treat it was.

Under-privileged people cannot walk away from abuse because it upsets them. Must remember to always remain diligent on whether my actions can hurt someone, and not try to find excuses if they do. Lesson learned, teacher.

Ucon | Noah Laptop Case (by Ucon GmbH)

There is something so incredibly appealing to me about seeing craftsmen make beautiful objects by hand. Here too, I find the juxtaposition of the wood supporting the metal, the analog encasing the digital, wonderful.

Many traditional craftsmen respond to modern times when handing down [their] craft. But the essence of tradition suffers in doing so.

I think it is meaningless to carry on tradition this way.
