I play with words by writing stories, making games, teaching kids, doing science and so on.

I have to admit, I never produced any banana peels

I bought it years ago and put it in my drawer. There it lay. Sleeping. Waiting...But now it's back. Connected and full of longing for life. My tank mouse.

Actually, if anybody should send a hospital boat somewhere it would be Europe to the US.

1. The Legend of Zelda - still the best, by far. Everything is perfect on this little module.
2. Twilight Princess - if you make it through the first 10 hours ("Tutorual") its an awesome experience
3. A Link to the Past - so many great things here but I am unhappy with a lot of design choices

Immerhin ist der Krimi gut in den Krimi integriert.

How to practice grammar with games - or how to gamify grammar, that is the question. Sorting words in #Minecraft Education? Or something with #wordwall ? I feel there should be better options available.

It's really interesting how often you forget things you already knew. I mean, in the blink of an eye. “Remember, you're a beginner: you don't have to know everything. You're in the process of learning.” One minute later: “I'm such a failure, I don't know anything. I'll never be good at this.”

Only allowed for 16 year olds, that is so arbitrary it could work.

I've backed his campaign. Can you help?

WHY? WHY ARE PEOPLE DEVELOPING FOR iOS ONLY? IS LIFE SO MEANINGLESS TO THEM?

No - but sometimes I clap the beginning of "Shave and a Haircut" and they do the "two bits" ending and are so immersed that they stop talking. It is rather cute, indeed.

Writing goals for 2026: After finally completing "the book" it is time to write my first real book. I am halfway through. And there are like 10ish stories of various lengths and genres I started... so, what could possibly go wrong?

Anecdotes are never empirical. Except for once, when an anecdote WAS actual empirical.

It was a wild, strange, wonderful, long-awaited weekend. It's hard to comprehend how heavy the burden was that was lifted from my shoulders, as my muscles are still used to it.

Ich würde mal sagen: das lassen wir alle casual in unseren regulären Wortgebrauch übergehen. Eule mit Weile.

Viele tolle Tips, vielen Dank - eine großartige Liste! Einen weiteren Lesetipp möchte ich hinzufügen: Die zweiteilige historische Urban Fantasy Romanreihe "Anarchie Deco" und "Anarchie Deco 1930" (auch von den Vögten, also TC Vogt)

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power.

They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.
