I started watching “Matrix Resurrection” yesterday, and must admit I am enjoying it so far. Fun fact (for me): early in the film, Trinity’s husband “Chad” appears. The role is played by Chad Stahelski, who was doing stunts for Keanu Reeves in the original trilogy, and is now the director of the John Wick movies.
Many years ago I was on an organized motorcycle trip in the alps, and Chad Stahelski was one of the other participants. He had just finished working on “V for Vendetta”, where (if I remember correctly) he was a stunt coordinator.
A continuation of the switch theme, and a reflection of @bsag’s photo from yesterday. #mbmay
Today I will switch countries. Going to Germany for the week.

Billboard facing the Russian embassy in Lisbon. Powerful image.
Everything is connected.
The war in Ukraine is causing supply shortages, and the main plant of the company I work for has had to shut down production.
This is nothing compared to what is happening in the Ukraine, but it shows how quickly consequences spread.
If you were into computer music making in the 90s, you probably know trackers. There now is a super cool device called the m8. It is expensive and on backorder, but with a Teensy 4.1 microcontroller, you can build one for around 30 euro, and use a computer for display and input. Hello next project.
Endless sky
This week I re-read Pattern Recognition (again). It is one of my favourite books by William Gibson.
About to go to the airport for the return to Lisbon. This time I have a stopover in Paris, so I might get a macaron from Ladurée to shorten the wait (hat tip to @Portufraise).
Yesterday’s view (I am in Norway this week).
Dipping my toe into MB waters again. With the world going crazy, I need a sane place.
My most recent project: built myself a keyboard from scratch. Had the PCB made in China, got components, switches and keycaps locally, and voila, my very own custom split keyboard.
I had my vaccine shot earlier in the month, and have now booked the flights to see family and friends in Norway again in early July. I can hardly wait.

A long longed for trip to the coast today.
I could finally go to the beach again today!
When nice colleagues bring you good stuff.
The print is home!
Project “Ripping my CD collection” is nearing the end. I had done it once before, but back then I didn’t have the disk space to do it losslessly.
Dinner today was lovely ramen from Ajitama. @maique knows what I am talking about. Son the younger had his mind blown, it was the first time he tried the good stuff.
Happy Fathers day @maique! I totally forgot to say that earlier.
Just finished the last in a series of interviews for a new position. Same company, different function. I’m super excited.
The print of my beach photograph will be ready next week. This is the latest mockup from the studio.
