Vet
Neither Aika nor I woke up this morning and thought “Hey let’s rip out a toe nail, that sounds like fun!”. Yet here we are and we spent this afternoon at the vet.
Snow
First proper snow this season. The boys loved it. Aika was slightly annoyed.
So I built an RSS Reader
So I built an RSS reader. I wanted something simple for myself. Read my feeds, mark things as read, move on.
Reading
I don’t read enough books. I manage reading a few pages maybe one evening every two weeks. I can turn on something on Youtube or a podcast in the car without thinking. A book I have to actively pick up.
Sourdough
My wife started baking bread. Here’s her spelt (Deutsch: Dinkel) sourdough recipe. It took quite a few iterations to get it right.
Chicken
When I went out with Aika, I caught two of our four chickens in the garden. We have two Silkie chickens and two feather-footed dwarf chickens. The whole family loves them, and two eggs a day is a nice bonus.
Building This Website with Hugo
This website runs on Hugo, a static site generator written in Go. I launched it in early January 2026, so if you’re reading this when it’s fresh, this is all just a few days old. This post documents how I built it.
Winter Walk
A winter walk with Tilian and Aika. The fresh snow melted during the day but froze overnight, leaving icy patches everywhere. Plenty of slipping and sliding along the way, with the kids landing on their backsides more than once. Aika seemed completely unfazed.
2025 Wrapped
My year 2025 in numbers and highlights, wrapped-style. First attempt at summarizing an eventful year. More platforms offering wrapped/replay summaries obviously helped.
Death Stranding 2
Over the Xmas period I managed to finish Death Stranding 2. The game is a perfect mix between logistics, base building and shooter action for me.I like it more than the Metal Gear Solid games.
