My Magic Keyboard started failing a few weeks ago. After 10 years on Apple’s low-profile keys, I had a choice: buy the same thing again or try something different. I went with the Keychron K8. Mechanical. Red switches.

The first week was rough. My fingers kept expecting that flat, shallow travel. Everything felt too tall, too loud, too different.

But a few weeks in? I type faster. It feels better. And I actually enjoy typing now, which sounds weird to say.

Sometimes the best upgrade is the one that forces you to unlearn old habits.

This is such a cool idea, a full metal enclosure for the Game Boy Advance SP from Unhinged Metal GBA SP Housing gives that old handheld a premium feel. It’s not cheap (the kit itself runs well over a basic shell), but if you’re into Nintendo nostalgia and modding classics, it’s probably worth it.

I remember how I amazed I was when I saw this videoclip by Röyksopp for the first time. While I was focusing on video and anmiation during university I used it for inspiration for my projects. Amazing to see that someone took the effort to restore and optimize it in 4K.

Casual Saturday night evening listening to Mark Barrott

ASML builds a machine that are mind boggling complex: Plasma hotter than the sun. Mirrors polished at the atomic level. Zero tolerance for error. It’s slow, expensive, and absurdly complex. No hype. No shortcuts. Just engineering at the edge of physics.

How awesome, Matt Denton 3D printed a giant version of a classic Lego Technic dune buggy. Big enough to actually drive.

Sometimes the best ideas are the ones hiding in plain sight.

It took my a whole evening but I just complete my vote for 25 year of Anjuna.

Mostly Anjunadeep with a little bit of beats, most tracks from the early years which I personally consider the best

Finally, the live set from James Grant & Jody Wisternoff at Anjunadeep Open Air is here.

Recorded at the stunning Old Royal Naval College, the mix captures everything that makes Anjunadeep special, deep, melodic, and endlessly evolving.

Tom Middleton not releasing on Anjunadeep for 9 years? Way too long. This one makes up for it:

Found a little birds nest in one of the trees in the front garden. Baby birds are almost ready to fly out

The annual trip to London for Anjunadeep Open Air, what an amazing venue this time at Old Royal Naval College

🎵 Dam Swindle’s “Open” is such a vibe. Love how they stepped away from their usual house sound but still delivered something amazing.

This new track by Blake.08 is an absolute banger, been on repeat the whole afternoon:

Last night at Restaurant Wolfslaar: gastronomic tasting menu with wine pairings that elevated each dish beyond what either could achieve alone.

The trailer for the Python documentary looks quite exciting: www.youtube.com/watch

Quick trip to Hilversum to have a look at my wife’s latest work for RTL. I couldn’t be more proud of her

Gonna give the agentic feature of Zed a swing over the coming few days, will report back, curious how it will weigh up against Cursor:

Baked some pecan caramel cookies, they turned out way better than I expected

I was already in doubt wether I should lock myself in and go for a Plex lifetime pass. Still happy I decided not to and moving to Jellyfin:
