I finally found a suitable replacement for my old juggling balls. The only issue was that the smallest quantity available was a pack of 15 balls oO.

@V_ Seems very interesting, I’m curious what you think of it. Also beautifully designed!

@ArnoldHoogerwerf I finaly finished reading the book and writing my thoughts up about it. I liked the book very much. And it was a surpsingly easy to read! Did not expect that. You can find more here: vmac.ch/posts/202...

🍿 Dune Movie 2021

On Thursday, I went to the cinema for the first time since 2019 (this is longer than I expected). I’ve watched Dune. I’m still not clear if I liked the movie or not. Technically the movie is well done and has amazing visuals. But something in the movie is bugging me. I can’t quite voice what it is. One aspect I struggle with is the speed of the storytelling. The movie is long, but at times it felt too slow.

Read 4 remaining paragraphs...

Just found out that Dropbox now offers a password manager. I feel tempted to switch, but first, I need to investigate it some more. But it would reduce one tool out of my setup. And I need to update my old pa manager at some point anyway.

@V_ Has it something to do with Chinese astrology? Soldering SMC’s sounds a bit tricky, but if you have a great iron it might be less so?

@odd it did not come with instruction from the homepage I assumed it is some sort of zodiac sign selector. But I many bought it to have some components to solder. On the backside, it also has some random chips which are not connected at all :-)

I just started reading A Million Things To Ask A Neuroscientist: The brain made easy by Mike Tranter PhD.📚

 

@V_ Does it have anything useful in it about seizures? Thanks!

@Ron I'm still at the beginning of the book. A cursory glance over the table of content and index did not reveal much. I will let you know when I see something more.

Hi, @Ron I've finally got time to finish up this book. It does not mention seizures at all. It talks a bit about memory loss connected to Alzheimer's.

@V_ Okay, thanks so much for the update! 📖
