Notes

For the first patch I made with the Atlantix, I was surprised by the very gritty sounds it could produce. Accompanied by a good, heavy kick drum, it always makes quite an impact.

I think I’ve got my system planned out for learning the Intellijel Atlantix module that just joined my setup yesterday. I’ve only used modules I actually own. Am I missing anything obvious? Modules in this system Row 1 (1U) Steppy 1U (28 HP) - Intellijel Zeroscope 1U (16 HP) - Intellijel Passive LPG 1U (6 HP) - Intellijel Quadratt 1U (28 HP) - Intellijel Buff Mult 1U (14 HP) - Intellijel Headphones 1U (10 HP) - Intellijel Row 2 Pamela’s PRO Workout (8 HP) - ALM Busy Circuits AXON-1 (4 HP) - ALM …

Farewell Nouba. We love you 💔💫

I’ve been trying out some latino vocal samples, blending them with rhythms and melodies that really hit the mark for the hard trance genre.

I wasn’t very interested in OpenAI’s Sora application until I came across this video. I found Casey Neistat’s analysis interesting. I’m also afraid that AI, by removing all friction, will allow everyone to generate a ton of uninteresting content. This friction is often useful because it forces us to think. We think more about whether our content is a good idea and if it’s worth investing the time to overcome these friction points to produce it.

Arte is offering us a back-to-back mix featuring Etienne de Crécy, Cassius, and DJ Falcon that will definitely get your feet tapping. It’s classic French Touch from its heyday.

It looks like Workflowy has introduced a new calendar/daily page feature. An icon has popped up in the menu, letting you jump to a daily note and then browse by date.

The Mandalorian is back (on the big screen) and that’s awesome. But I have to admit, the trailer’s quality feels more like a fan edit than something from a professional studio. Did you see those title cards?!

Zurich-based studio @Okomotive’s game “Herdling”, published by @panic, was featured on Swiss French television.

The folks at Workflowy are rolling out features at a good clip. That’s nice to see.

I’ve been eyeing the Rotring 600 3-in-1 for what feels like forever. This isn’t just another multi-pen; it’s a mechanical pencil, red ballpoint, and black ballpoint all housed in Rotring’s signature hexagonal barrel. The price tag always made me hesitate, but when I spotted it on sale recently, I finally took the plunge. My plan was ambitious but simple: replace both my trusty Caran d’Ache 849 and FIXPENCIL (my daily bullet journal companions) with this single tool. The appeal of having three …

Last night, I updated my iPhone to iOS 26. I agree with everyone that Liquid Glass hurts readability. I was also surprised by the quantity of visual noise this new OS version brings.

Quelle organisation catastrophique à l’entrée de la patinoire pour le match du LHC contre ERC Ingolstadt ! Nous avons attendu 30 minutes aux portes VIP avant qu’on nous informe, une fois arrivés, qu’il fallait refaire la file à l’autre porte, car celle-ci ne serait pas ouverte. C’était encore pire pour les places normales, car il y avait beaucoup plus de monde. Ces matchs de CHL sont censés être une fête en famille. Mes enfants ont pu observer des gens furieux à cause du manque de …

Let’s have some fun with this

So there you have it, after using a Polaroid 660 for a month, I caved and got the Flip. What sold me on it was the flash. The indoor photos I took with the 660 are just too dark. And everyone seems to say that the Flip’s powerful flash (partially) solves this problem.

very tempted by the Polaroid Flip

Swiss Post has a mail scanning service. Anyone tried it?

Note to self, don’t forget the camera in the fridge.

We just played the game Odin and really enjoyed it. It’s a super simple and fun card game that’s all about getting rid of your hand, and each round is only about 15 minutes.

Dave Clark’s album “Devils Advocate” was a masterpiece. It’s packed with energy, and when it’s spinning on the turntable, the room transforms into an instant rave.

Third day in a row at the pool, and in three different pools, before heading back to work tomorrow. Not exactly thrilled about it.

After testing it for a few days, I think Castro is really great. The only downside is that there’s no web interface available. For me, that’s the big advantage Overcast has.

Making my photos look like Polaroids on my website was fun. Then I bought a Polaroid. Now my Polaroids look like Polaroids taken with a Polaroid. I need to fix this.

Today, we’re taking a family trip to Technorama.

I was about to buy a TRMNL, then I came across Adam’s post. It made my decision a whole lot easier. I’ll be saving my money for people who are actually worth it.
