March

Another few days of cycling in Spain, then back home, a week of work, and we left for back-country skiing in Slovakia. After hectic January and February I was looking forward being back in Berlin and on my regular schedule. And brunches, I was really missing brunches.

We thought of life by analogy with a journey, a pilgrimage, which had a serious purpose at the end, and the thing was to get to that end, success or whatever it is, maybe heaven after you’re dead. But we missed the point the whole way along. It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing or to dance while the music was being played. The Wisdom of Insecurity by Alan Watts

Reading

• Quitting the Rat Race - just give it a read, it’s short.

  In times like these every signal is telling me to stay on the path I’m on, enjoying the comfort and safety of a high paying job. I’m not going to listen. I’m quitting and I’m leaving this place. I’ll see you in the mountains.

• Steve Wozniak used to tip from printed sheets of $2 bills

  As I opened my wallet, I considered whether I should risk using this fake ID on the Secret Service. It probably amounted to a real crime. I had my driver’s license as well. But you only live once and only a few of us even get a chance like this once in our lives. So I handed him the fake ID. He noted and returned it. The Secret Service took an ID that said “Laser Safety Officer” with a photo of myself wearing an eyepatch.

• Everything You Can’t Have

I wrote a blog post titled How do CloudFlare Workers work? about CloudFlare Workers.

Watching

• The Last of Us. New episodes still hold the quality high and I am grateful I found something interesting to watch after a long time.

Listening

Got introduced to the Hilltop Hoods by Jakub and I found a few songs that I really enjoyed. Others not so much, but this one I had on repeat for great part of the month.
