This blog is a record of stuff that I’ve done that I’m proud of, as well as the mistakes I’ve made along the way, so that I don’t make them again (in theory). It is a refuge from social media because I don’t want to play the algorithm game. Maybe I’ll have a grinching corner where I write about how much I hate particular things.

At the time of writing this, I have a music project called “Fanfickk“, I started making video games under the name “gaskrankinstation“, I have 1,000 DIY projects going on in my apartment, and I’m about to enter an art show (potentially under the name “Zimtkind”). It’s a mess.

But what is a Zimtkind? Well, it’s the shortest domain name I could find that means something to me, but doesn’t conjure up any fixed ideas, e.g. a metal band (which I may or may not also end up in). “Zimt” is “cinnamon” in German. I’m German. I love cinnamon. “Kind” means “child” in German. It also has a nice meaning in English, and there’s a SHINee song by the same name—a rare ballad that I like.
