🎥🎵 The Real Buddy Holly Story (1978) ★★★★
Loved this documentary about Buddy Holly, which really shows how remarkable of an artist he was and how he influenced all major acts of the 60s.

🛠️ Tinkered a bit more with my(?) vibe coded ‘Lojong Wisdom Seeker’ meditation app. It’s now bilingual (NL + EN), and has a better layout and colour palette.

🎵 After learning the basics of the Bansuri a few years ago, I’ve started learning a new instrument again: an electric bass guitar (a beautiful Squier Affinity PJ Bass). And what’s even more exciting is that this time I’ll be learning alongside my youngest daughter!

On our way back home from our short holiday, we visited the Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven. We came to the conclusion it really wasn’t our thing. We liked the Class of 25 exhibition with work by alumni of most Dutch art academies and the talent show of the Creative Industries Fund at MU the best.

🛠️ I’ll admit it’s pretty nerdy, but I’ve been having a lot of fun with designing animated icons for this ESP-32-based matrix display that show all kinds of updates and notifications about my automated home on set intervals. And I think it even gets me into better energy management habits as well.

🌱 For a few years now, we have lots of firebugs living in our front yard, probably because we have more native plants (like the common mallow) and warmer summers than before.
