Deep Impact and the Commodification of Tragedy
I go off on unrelated tangents to the movie about where the fascination for watching the world end comes from and what the business side of selling tragedy is and has become.
Watching the Solar Eclipse
|
Yesterday, I observed the solar eclipse of August 12, 2026 from Switzerland. Although it was only a partial eclipse, hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of curious onlookers gathered to witness this beautiful, rare natural phenomenon.

Swiss Rolling Stock in Ardèche, France
|
I discovered Swiss rolling stock at the Chemin de Fer du Vivarais or more commonly known as the Train de l'Ardèche during my summer holidays. This is a crude documentation effort of some of the stuff I discovered there.

What a great movie Safe House (1998) is. A hidden gem if you will. The portrayal of alzheimers in particular I found very convincing --for the lack of a better expression. The movie reminded me of Rain Man in a way, which is another favorite of mine. Very fun, very rewatchable, I should get a DVD of it.
The soundtrack especially was surprisingly memorable. Take a listen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yq_nhQTLtU&list=OLAK5uy_lrglCzfMleywqiBC-gUdA_pHN8kTPMnRo "Closet / Throws Away Pills / Grabs Food Tray" gives a good overview if you don't feel like listening to the full soundtrack.
A380 Flight-Sim Progress: Part 3 "We Got It for Free, but at What Cost..."
In this installment, we finally built a proper base floor and started working on the outer frame and body of the cockpit. This report won't be as technically thorough as my last two, but I got all the more exciting pictures to share!
Everyone F**king Dies The Movie
This is the second part of my disaster movie two parter, which will be about the film Knowing. This time, my ramblings don't go off on unrelated tangents (as much) anymore and are mostly related to the movie, its pitfalls, and what could have been.
