What I’m doing now

Sports

I'm still getting back into regular training and try to run at least 3 times a week if my time allows. I also plan to look into calisthenics to improve core stability and strength. For this I just set up a little gym in the basement as training outside becomes more difficult as it's getting dark and cold. Zwift season is coming!

Indieweb

I try to take part in the monthly Homebrew Website Club Nuremberg meetings as long I'm not on business trips or on vacation.

There and in between I try to improve this website a bit and — most importantly — create and publish some more content. Join me and check the next dates on the IndieWeb events page or at my events overview.

Another project in this space is setting up my own ActivityPub instance to take part at the Mastodon network from my own instance. Check out social.stierand.org to see more.

Board gaming

I currently don't find that much time to play board games as I'd like, but the thing I get to the table most right now is Sky Team, the totally deserved Spiel des Jahres 2024.

From time to time I also play a session of Marvel Champions - The Card Game either solo or with a friend. I own all the content released up to Nightcrawler and got more than 200 plays under my belt. I'm also in the middle of a 2 player Earthborne Rangers campaign after finishing the scenario solo.

Videogaming

I got myself an Anbernic RG35XX Plus recently and I'm back on the retro gaming bandwagon. Running Knulli on there, I'm currently exploring all those classics once again. Hey there, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, long time no see.

Music

Spotify, YouTube and Soundcloud power my music needs. After a vacation in the UK and an awesome concert by Paul Kalkbrenner in Berlin, I'm back on the Techno, Drum & Bass and Jungle train, with some other stuff from my 'Liked Songs' playlist thrown in. These are the tracks I listened to most often in the last 30 days, courtesy of last.fm:

And the last song I actually listened to was
