Meanwhile, the printer makes a little rumba – [...]

Wallpaper: Fullmoon

Here’s a wallpaper for your wide screen. Took this shoot on a foggy night, while trying to take photos for a HDR image composition (which turned out quite crappy, but it was my first try ;) ). I was quite happy about the result so I decided to post the image as a desktop background. [...]

Alrght, there we go: Catch Me If You Can! by vantage (MP4, 80MB, .H264, final release, ranked 3rd at BUENZLI 17). “Right-click/Save As..” and use VLC Player for playback or watch it in the browser if you got Quicktime installed.

Heute kam was ganz tolles mit der Post: LINEA, vom deutsch-spanischen Designer Gabriel Kornreich. Ultimativ simpel, aber mein Nacken dankt es mir bereits nach ein paar Stunden. Der Herr Kornreich macht die Laptopständer übrigends in seiner Küche von Hand.
