Hiking to Fan Lau in Hong Kong, on Lantau Island

Somewhere, nearby Causeway Bay, during the evening.

And this, in my opinion, is exactly the difference compared to last year. And that's why it feels so much better in the new season. They fight. They jump, they still make mistakes. But they fight! That was entirely missing last season. #LFC #YNWA

Yes, true. @bsky.app is finally on iPad. Love it!

What a weekend! First, some drinks and dinner with friends, then a beach visit in Hong Kong (it's still pretty hot!), ending with eating some Filipino food, and at the end, even a legendary karaoke night. Happy Monday, everyone! 🙂

I could ask for the location again, but I guess this time it's too easy, right?

My weekly recovery session: Usually on Saturday, when not standing on the football pitch, I try to recharge my brain in the gym. Or during a hike. The muscles are getting tired, my brain recovers.

I watched a couple of iPhone Duo reviews in the past days, but this one here is probably the best one in English language. As always, Joanna Stern is absolutely creative. Great work! youtu.be/bxDTWuL9GxY?...

Imagine you put your phone somewhere in your apartment and you cannot find it, so you ask your HomePod, "Hey Siri, where is my phone?" My HomePod answers, "You need to authenticate on the iPhone to continue." 😵‍💫🫣

Watched the new season of "The Diplomat" on Netflix. Amazing series, great season! I just can highly recommend it.

Interesting. When did I have 3 weeks of summer holidays? Exactly, mid-July until the first week of August. My fitness level basically increased while I was on leave and stopped doing workouts. 🫣

One day we had an idea for a tricky hike. And we ended up in a rainstorm, took the wrong road, and ended up in a really tricky situation. Today I would tell you: don’t underestimate the weather; it can get super tricky. youtu.be/2iSqlXTxEcw?...

I read that story about Bangkok already in VNExpress. Maybe it's good. Unfortunately, I once took a motorbike (when I was drunk) because all taxis asked me 1'000 THB from Suk Soi 11 to Terminal 21. The only solution is probably ride-hailing like Grab or Bolt. e.vnexpress.net/news/news/tr...

One of my oldest videos, just edited on my iPad. But somehow it still gets views. What an amazing day it was! youtu.be/M5XNZpQ1g-4?...

Pro Tip: If you are riding the Metro, don’t always watch your phone while listening to music. I entered the wrong direction, and suddenly I was alone on the train. We had already passed the end stop. 😅 Thankfully, we drove directly to the first stop again.

Sometimes, clouds make hiking interesting. A picture made on Ma On Shan, Hong Kong

Atmosphere update: atproto apps are growing 20% month over month, and last week we passed 1,000 daily active apps.

😍

A lot of individual mistakes, and Barcola forgot where the goal is. But a real fight and passion. Something we missed last year. Important 3 points! #BRELIV #YNWA

Get well soon Emiliano Martinez #EVECHE

One of my favorite hiking pictures. Do you guess the location?

And this is well deserved! 👍 #YNWA

A hard football week ends with another Saturday morning league game in the HKJFL. After playing with his school team and losing the midweek semifinal on penalties, it's now time to play in the UKFA.

I wonder why some apps ask me every day to set up a passkey. I think for Cathay Pacific, I've already created 4 passkeys; one for every country page? And now Claude also starts asking daily. I obviously created one already. Like this, passkeys are not really a reliable way to log in.

Today it would be time again to run back home. But I had to give up for this week. My doctor said I should not sweat a lot thanks to some skin issues. And just wait a week. Close to start ignoring these advices, to be honest.

More pictures from the Junk Boat Trip on Saturday. This time focused on nature. Hong Kong in October 2026.

Dinner after the game yesterday! The best fish in town, at least for me.

So. It’s about time now! Good luck #LFC. Without Isak, Gakpo, and Szoboszlai. Good luck to our youngsters. Now we need you. #YNWA

Tough day on the pitch! Facing Yuen Long was a real workout between the posts. The final score didn't go our way, but as a goalkeeper dad, if there’s one silver lining to a hard loss... at least he was kept busy and got to make plenty of saves! On to the next one 🧤⚽️

What a Saturday! Maybe (?) the last Junk Boat of the year. Absolutely great weather, amazing people: a perfect day!

Warm up for the Youth Premiere League game vs. Yuen Long.

Same day, just minutes in between. When you explore and hike Hong Kong, you can feel the diversity.

I was just thinking back about my time in Nong Khai, Thailand. It was, for me, a magical place. That walk on the river, the sculptures. The people. Amazing.

Coming back from holidays and finding the email box like this is ok. So what is the problem? I was not on holiday! That was just two days of deep work only. 😵

Plenty of foreigners who complain about immigrants inability to speak proper English move to Thailand and spend years making excuses about why they never learned to speak Thai.

Need a Coke? Robot will serve you! Picture made at the Wanchai Promenade at the waterfront in Hong Kong. As I was running back home, I had no time for a drink. But maybe I should test that in the next days. 😆✌️
