A vision for a new Supportive Web

           support

If you haven’t checked out the brave browser you definitely should. I really identify with their mission: to give back to publishers and content creators on the web by making it easy for users to pay for content. The only thing I don’t like is that I have to install their browser in order to support content creators. Since I have qutebrowser so tightly integrated into my workflow, this just isn’t practical for me.

Scripts I find useful

           scripts

I often find myself sitting infront my computer being frusterated by the fact that I can’t find a script to automate some mundane task that I am working on. Then, the following usually happens: I find something online, become even more frusterated that I can’t bend it to my will and finally end up extending it or rewriting it all together. Most of things I write (or find on github) I end up only using only once or twice.

The Erfurter Entenrennen

           fun

The “Erfurter Entenrennen” is the longest running “duck race” in Germany. For the last 22 years, the locals have been highlighting the arrival of spring by painting and decorating plastic ducks. These ducks then take part in a no-holds-barred race along the river Gera to the finish line at the Krämerbrücke. This year was the first opportunity for me to take part and, after playing around with the idea of a mechanized prototype, decided to just build a warp-drive.
