What I’m doing now

Sports

I'm back into regular training and I'm doing running and cycling on 6 days of the week. Yay me! I also frequently use the little gym in my basement as my training spot as training outside is too cold and dark right now (brrr). Zwift season is still on, the Tour de Zwift is already in the books! Looking forward to maybe do a running event or two this year.

Indieweb

I take part in the monthly Homebrew Website Club Nuremberg meetings and I really enjoy the company and the inspiration I find there. Join us and check the next dates on the IndieWeb events page or at my events overview.

There and in between I try to improve this website a bit and — most importantly — create and publish some more content.

Making

I try to dabble with all the AI tools that are en vogue right now. Perplexity is a huge overall help, and I'm currently blown away by what Cursor together with the Sonnet LLM does.

For my birthday I got myself a Bambu Lab P1S 3D printer. This fits in handy with my board gaming passion, as I can now print inserts, tokens and other stuff to get my games more organized and fun. My inner monk loves this and the printer already has several hundreds hours of usage. I started to get fitter in CAD modelling so I can create models on my own. Web-based tools like OnShape and tutorials on YouTube are a big help here.

Board gaming

My family and I are currently playing Port Royal and the "classics" like Skyjo and Uno. At the recent board game day at the Eckstein in Nürnberg I got myself several new (for me, but used) games which are now on my 'Pile of Opportunity'. I already tried out Flippermania, Baumkronen (which is also liked by the family) and Eternitium. Besides that, I really enjoy playing board games on my tablet, either via dedicated apps or by using Board Game Arena.

I also try to go on with my Earthborne Rangers campaign and look forward to the new content to be released this year.

Music

My taste in music is quite diversified. You'll find me listen to hip hop on one day, Black Metal on the next, and in between there may be some Indie, Punk, Hardcore, Techno or Drum and Bass. To get a sense, 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
