There are some articles I read (or listened to) from the last two weeks I would like to share. The topics vary although the three of them have one topic: fashion. Trends in fashion and thereby culture. Something I am interested in. The articles deal with patterns you can currently recognize in our culture, no [...]
This week I feature friends here on BETTER taste THAN sorry. Yesterday I promoted Placescore, today it’s Typoguide. Ben Lehnert, one of the 6Wunderkinder, started this project already some weeks ago. He created a little but very useful guide to typography. I like it a lot. Simple questions are answered: What is the difference between [...]
Like Dikembe Mutombo always used to say “Not in my house” – that’s the motto of the brilliant mobile game Placescore. My dear friends Marcel, Martin, Florian and Philipp, who already created the beloved reading app Quote.fm, created this addictive game. Great job guys! The idea is to play a similar game to the also addictive [...]
Almost 230 days a year I travel from Düsseldorf to Bonn in the morning and back from Bonn to Düsseldorf in the evening. Most of the time I have my headphones on and listen to music. In the morning I like to start the day a bit smoother. With music that doesn’t stress me too [...]
Most of the time you listen to music and you just listen to it. It plays in the background, jumps from song to song and then you realize you listened to the whole album (or mix) when it’s over. And sometimes there is music, you hear it and think “Damn, that’s good!” I listen to [...]
So, after a long period of blogging abstinence I am giving it another try. I have been active online the whole time: twitter, tumblr (and tumblr II) and even started this whole Third Wave Wichteln thing. But somehow I really missed my blog. Writing about food, design, music, life and all that other stuff that arouses [...]
I wouldn’t say I am a car person. I like cars just like any other things, like electronic devices, architecture. But not as much as food or music. I would say I am interested and I like beeing invited to events about cars (especially design related) but I am not that passionate about it. Until [...]
A few weeks ago the hard drive of my MacBook Pro said good bye. I think by now it is the 3rd hard drive that died. This time I ordered a SSD. All the people I know who has one, recommended it. And since I learned that besides the immense speed the durability of the [...]
In Istanbul I fell in love with Mezze – /ˈmɛzeɪ/ – the Middle Eastern version of tapas. Small delicacies – warm, cold, meat, fish, vegetarian… Last November my girlfriend and I flew to Istanbul – an amazing city. If you haven’t been there yet, you should go. (Here is a list of places I recommend.) [...]
I had an idea. It started all on Instagram and from there on something happened I couldn’t really imagine. I commented on a photo of @lastguest_hh that we should start a Secret Santa project with coffee. Third Wave Coffee, whole beans from a local producer/roaster. You give a package and therefore you receive a package. [...]
