Hi and welcome!
I’m Andreas, and this is the place where I write about all the things that catch my interest.
It could be books, it could be music, it could be tech (especially retro tech), it could be random musings about society and philosophy or psychology… whatever comes to my mind.
You can always get in touch via my Mastodon profile or just send me an E-Mail, I’d love to hear from you!
If you want to subscribe, check out my RSS feed here!
And if you’re wondering - why 82MHz? It’s simple, 82 is the year of my birth, and MHz is a nod to the fact that I studied electrical engineering and telecommunications engineering many, many moons ago ;)

Listening to every Album: Gamma Ray
It's been a while since I've done one of these! But I think it's time again. After listening through all albums from two 70s bands from the UK and the US last year, I felt like some change was in order, so I picked a German band from the late 80s/early 90s.

It took a surprisingly long time, almost three years, but now it happened - the email address I have published here found it's way into the hands of spammers and now I get half a dozen spam mails every day. I guess it was bound to happen eventually and it was always just a matter of time, but it still makes me sad. I was always excited to see a new mail in this mailbox because it meant that an actual person got in touch, but now this feeling has been replaced by a feeling of annoyance because almost all messages now are spam. Oh well. Btw, do you know when the first spam message was sent? I didn't until I looked it up just now. The answer might surprise you, it was earlier than I would have thought. 1978. But given that email as we know it today was invented in 1971, it's actually more surprising that it took so long.

It's been forever since I changed something on this site, but I finally sat down and implemented something I already had in the past and wanted to bring back for a long time: A links page.

A few days ago I replaced the battery in an old iPod classic I bought a while ago, because the original battery only lasted for about an hour or so before it gave up. So I decided it was time to give the iPod some TLC and treat it to a new battery.

We're exactly one month away from linkdump no. 100. If this were a social media channel I would now have to start drumming up hype for that...
"Hey everyone, welcome back! Today's linkdump is a special one as we gear up for Number 100! Can you believe it? A huge milestone is just a few short weeks away! I don't want to give away too much yet, but trust me, you won't want to miss what's coming next, so definitely make sure you're subscribed! I have some exciting changes and surprises lined up that will take this format to the next level. So, stay tuned because we're just getting started!"
Yeah... let's just say I'm glad I don't have to write or talk in this voice on here. Also, there are no changes coming because I'm lazy I think the format's fine the way it is. But it is crazy to see that number 100 on the horizon...
