The F1 season 2012 is going to be ugly.

And by ugly I mean: What is going on here?!

Week 4

Even though Week 5 is almost over, I shall try to write down how my fourth week of the year was. I don’t remember most of it, actually.

Monday, January 23rd 2012

恭喜发财 – Water-dragon year. Yeah.

Tuesday, January 24th 2012

Two weeks are over again, so we went for the Traditional Asia Dinner¹ again. This time (and of course because of Chinese New Year) we went to Tsun-Gai which has very authentic Cantonese food. Awesome and a fun evening.

I have no recollection of this day.²

Thursday, January 26th 2012

I think I played some Minecraft.

Man, this weekly blogposts are depressing.

Every day is the same.

Wake up.

Drive to work.

Work.

Discuss where to have lunch.

Work.

Drive home.

Minecraft.

Bed.

Repeat.

Funniest lunch ever. But I promised I wouldn’t put it online. But seriously.

Saturday, January 28th 2012

Finally I managed to go to Naniwa. So tasty.

Later: More Minecraft.

Drove to Bonn, listened to Satomi play viola in a huge orchestra playing Mahler’s Symphony No 2. That was rather okay even though I doubt that Mahler will be one of my favorite composers any time soon.

I told you about it. ↩
This happens a lot. No reason to worry. ↩

The Knutsens

At some point a couple of weeks ago, in one of those weak moments late at night, I went ahead and ordered a Samson Meteor Mic – it’s really pretty and Dan Benjamin called it “really impressive”. I told Teymur about it, who is already doing some podcast stuff and we decided to give it a try. We recorded a pilot episode on tuesday and decided we’ll turn it into a regular show.

The pilot episode is over here – give it a try and let me know what you think.

And at some point we might even explain the name.

Updated Podcast list

Dominik Schwind — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 21:05:02 +0000

I’ve blogged about it before, but Teymur asked me to update the list. So, I checked my Instacast and here is the old list:

And since then, these were added on:

neunetz.com Podcast ¹
Hypercritical
Pop Culture Happy Hour
Comedy Bang Bang
Roderick on the Line
Mac Power Users ²
Here’s The Thing
Alec Baldwin. Seriously.
Doug Loves Movies
5by5 at the Movies
You Made It Weird

Holy fuck. And I was thinking the last time that I am obviously listening to too many podcasts. But these days I am quite ruthless about marking single episodes as heard, especially with the interview podcasts – if the guest or the topic doesn’t win me over in the first couple of minutes, I’m gone.

even though I really hope he does something about the audio quality. ↩
This one is awesome to listen to while working. Their voices are so calming, I stop listening to them completely and get kicked right into the Zone. ↩

Drafts

Dominik Schwind — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 13:40:19 +0000

Currently in my drafts folder:

Skinner Box
Why Yoda is harmful
Why people blog everything
Why workflows are more interesting than actual work

Who knows when these ever see the light of day.

No snow

Apparently the only area without snow today.
