I really love my Kobo eReader. Cheaper than Amazon, I can put epubs on it and buy ebook at every store that is not called “Amazon”. Most ebooks are just watermarked and don’t have any DRM attached to them ♡. You can even lend epubs from your local library using awesome services like OverDrive.

My wife is currently opening a coworking space for parents called little village and because of that, I investigated the topic a lot in the last couple of months.

In the last post I promised that I will explain how I use OmniFocus. Hopefully you get some interesting new ideas after reading this.

Over the last decade I started to organize my life a lot. My goal was to never forget important dates and have an overview about what is happening and what I should do next. I am not perfect at it, and living with a 2-year-old kid definitely made me more unreliable than before, but I am trying every day to be better at it.

This month my little one has her second birthday. A lot has happened in those two years. Sadly I didn’t know enough fathers that shared my values how to raise a kid. Fathers that are active, know important concepts like mental load and want to share the workload and time with the kid evenly between all people who are involved in raising the kid.

For me JSX is the part of React that makes developing with it a real treat. Yes, the functional nature, the state and lifecycle management are really nice, too, but JSX makes it all come together in a great way. The effortless integration of HTML inside of JavaScript just makes it one of the best experiences writing a web frontend.

Last month Anika and I published a little project we had been working on for the last 9 months: wishlephant.

I was recently interviewed in German by Simon Frey for his DigitaleGründer.de Podcast.

A couple of months ago I wrote a small tool that creates a RSS feed of your IMDb ratings. This comes in handy if you want to use it with IFTTT or similar pipeline things. My use case is to import them to Day One with this.
