Many European governments are in the process of moving most of their INTERNAL communication to US controlled servers, in full view of the US intelligence apparatus. The political situation in the USA is however not going to get any less scary. Any (forced) migrations over summer might no longer […]

Went to report a bug on the Parallels forums and I just gotta say: I am impressed. Take notes, website hosts, this is how you respect your users in a dark political time.

The last concert I went to with Julia was #Alphaville in Cape Town in 2010. I remember standing with her, but she was lost in the concert, not paying attention to me. Forever Young was their encore, of course. Later the same month, she was suddenly disabled. Just over a year later, she was […]

Where I'm working - a family restaurant - suddenly played Leave Your Hat On by #JoeCocker. So I'm staying here! I can't see any kids around right now, they're all in school. But yeah, that's a birds-and-bees sort of song. Anyhow, Joe's voice is extraordinary. He always has this overwhelming […]

Today marks the 20th anniversary of me arriving in Germany with my parents. If they hadn't abandoned their jobs, friends and family and taken me out of Russia, I might very well have perished by now.
