I have thoughts about the iPhone Duo, which was announced yesterday and will somehow become my financial problem in October.

I love that technology can still excite me.

Here's a leaked video of Apple's AirPods with embedded cameras.

A very special day with the most special person.

Anna turned 32, and baking a mediocre cake, or, in this case, brownies, is a service I provide with pleasure.

Exploring Homer’s world without all the stress Odysseus had to endure is surprisingly relaxing.

When Anna and I first met, she told me that her friends Simone and Pastu love cats and would very much like to see as many pictures and videos of mine as possible.

Those cinnamon buns were the worst!

The huge orange wall clock now hangs in my office and I love it.

Let me know when I start sounding like a broken record, but I love that my adult life looks like this.

A fantastic interview with perhaps the only person I have a parasocial relationship with.

What a movie!

We played Big Walk and had a very stressful but fun evening.

This was one of my favorite evenings from the last couple of weeks.

A big part of building a life you enjoy is challenging yourself from time to time.

Speaking of life being great: This is how my Saturdays look like.

Growing up, being an adult always seemed like such a hassle.

One of my core beliefs is that life is better when you acknowledge and celebrate important things.

The hardest days are the ones when my run is the only usable material for my comic journal.

It took me a couple of tries, but I got there in the end.

Every time a long train ride is part of the itinerary, I pack my Switch 2.

It was such a relaxing day, and I was happy about it.

Imagine inviting me to your wedding and all my comic journal shows of it is this self-involved bullshit.

Travel day!

This talk from Jack Conte about creativity, art, and how artists have dealt with change over time is one of the best things I’ve seen in a long time.

In Germany we have the saying “Was muss, das muss,” which roughly translates to “What has to be done must be done” and I think that’s beautiful.

Gigabyte has a question.

The cats yearn for non-fiction

Right?

We should react with “Ew,” then completely ignore whatever tried to rage-bait us more often.

I bought a second-hand table and set it up in my office as a dedicated art desk!

We met at the park to paint trees.

6x6 all-out sprints (30 sec) with 60 sec recovery.

Millimeter didn’t actually react like that.

I ordered a printer!

It’s sometimes hard to cope with the fact that all my friends improve so much at running in such a short time, even though I train three times a week.

I’m always a bit nervous about drawing and painting in public because I don’t always feel very confident in what I’m doing, and having someone look over my shoulder isn’t very conducive to my process.

I love tax season.

This is the first drawing in a new sketchbook, and I love how it turned out.

Sometimes, it really do be like that.

I tried to become someone who makes music.

I built a shelf for my art supplies!

I want to feel like I’m winning at the dentist.

At one point in the escape room, Mareen had to spank us with a leather paddle... it was definitely an experience...

It was such a lovely day.

Now I need to pack up 93 books and send them to the company buying them.

I’ll actually save money by switching to fiber.

Linus isn’t the youngest anymore.

I seldom think it’s a good idea to skip my workout for the day.

I sometimes forget to make enough time for myself, which leaves my social battery completely drained and brings on headaches.
