Here are a few things that caught my attention in week twenty-three: week.esamecar.net/23

A small, green, two-person tent on a wooden platform in a wooded area. On the platform you can see a man who is just putting something into the tent, a boy and a dog.

Okay, this was insane. Now to bed ๐Ÿ™‚

This is the way.

After all the excitement about the improvements in iPadOS for Stagemanager, I took another look at it on macOS. I need a tutorial or preferably a whole course for this to understand why what happens when. I’m just too stupid for all this stuff and too old. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Here are a few things that caught my attention in week twenty-two: week.esamecar.net/22

Centered, a single, beautiful, red poppy in a field.

I really should read more books, especially by Carl Sagan.

Everyone is so excited about Apple’s new VR glasses. Meanwhile in my kitchen it smells burnt and my Homepod in response to “Hey Siri Status Timer”: “The timer has been cancelledl” WTF? You literally had only one job! ๐Ÿคฏ

Where Have I Been by Bike

Following on from my post earlier in the day, here are some routes I’ve cycled so far.A map, mainly of Germany and neighboring countries, showing where I have cycled so far. (Mainly in Germany / Hesse, but also from Freiburg to Hamburg and in the Netherlands to the sea).

Buying an Ooni was such a good idea ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿฅฐ

Where Have I Been

I saw maique posting it and it seems, Manton started it …

The idea is very nice and so I thought I would join in. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

I haven’t yet been to many different countries. That’s mainly because my wife and I decided two decades ago to avoid cars and planes for traveling. And with just a bike and / or by train, you don’t get very far unless you have a lot of time. Unfortunately, I don’t. (And of course money always plays a certain role, too.)

Anyway, here is the list of countries I have visited so far:
