Reflecting on everyday life in a few words. From my perspective.

Watching my daughter experience the magical (pun intended) world of Harry Potter for the first time is an incredible joy. Such a fantastic story, but at the same time so relatable and accessible.

And I totally forgot how packed the first part was. The Dursleys, Hagrid, Diagon Alley, Gringotts, Ollivander, Hedwig (!), Hogwarts Express, the castle, classes, Snape (miss you, Alan), Quidditch, troll, three-headed dog, the Mirror of Erised, the forbidden forest, centaurs, the unicorn. Oh, and Dumbledore and Voldemort, of course. Unbelievable.

I can’t wait to see the new adaption of the series.

I feel like we should normalize ending meetings five minutes early and starting five minutes late. And spend the extra time to talk off topic or grab a coffee. Just ease things up by default.

Building is easy. Letting people know is not.

If you watch one TV show this year, watch Pluribus.

I’m sure Liam Hemsworth is a great guy. But following Henry Cavill as The Witcher… I hope he finds a new agent who prevents such bad decisions in the future.

That being said, I really hope that this was the last adaption Lauren Hissrich ever worked on.

Pasta, pepper, cheese, water, salt. Five ingredients. All taste. Life can be so simple.

Man, do I love my coffee routine.

If I ever get to teach UX, I’ll start with American kitchen layouts. Nothing says ‘user-centered design’ like upper cabinets at forehead height and a stove right next to the fridge.

On that note: I think it is really essential that we teach our kids to embrace boredom. Just sit and don‘t think of anything. Can you?

Screen Time should also consider frequency and the overall total of opening an app or the phone itself. How often have you picked up your phone today to do… nothing, really?

Talking about work-life-balance… have you seen Severance on Apple TV+?

I made a mistake. I borrowed my father’s Zuriga espresso machine while he is traveling.

While watching one of Apple’s stunning screensavers on the Apple TV, I just realized:

there must be several film teams constantly traveling the world on the hunt of new drone shots that capture the most spectacular perspectives of our planet earth.

Well… maybe in another life.

Speaking of materialism – do you like good stuff, too?

Elon Musk is a terrible person, but his company caught a gargantuan rocket booster with “chopsticks” today.
