I have more than once been writing (not calling it whining for that matter) here about my weird obsession with the _Nitti Font_ used by WriterPro and iA Writer. All attempts of getting used to another font more or less failed. Since moving all my typing over to Ulysses a

Some of my favourite etudes that I ran into over the years are the Kröpsch Clarinet etudes, especially the first volume.

In the recent past I haven’t writing much about one of my weak spots: text-editors. Mostly this is because I haven’t had much time to actually do sit down and write some things for the blog, and also because I have been actually rather satisfied with my setup

So, there you go. I missed it. For the first time in now four years I missed the anniversary of this little blog of mine. It passed by un-noticed, that is until now of course, but without noticing the anniversary, I did though give it a little facelift and roughly

I decided to escape the frustration of being unable to do some winter landscapes, due to the current uninviting weather conditions, and at least play around a little with the panning technique in the forest. By excluding the sky and blurring the image I tried to at least create something

Before writing anything about this image, I would like to announce that my Blog "17mm", thanks to the great support here at Pixyblog, has now moved to this domain, and so did the RSS-Feed. If you have bookmarked or subscribed to the feed I would like to ask
