Food for Thought
Welcome!
I am a technical writer – and this site contains the things I like most: thoughts and ideas, some background information on some of my hobbies, poems I like and sayings I endorse. Hope you find it of interest, entertaining or even helpful…
Whatever you do – have a nice day!
In literary research and in literature, it is one of the first rules: never assume that author and narrator are one and the same. The same is true for other kinds of texts, whichever they are. A number of my readers may know this well anyway and take it for granted. Still, I’d like to …

This section is about selected movies. The ones I like or consider special. A movie actually was starting point for my little site: ‘In the Bleak Midwinter’ also called ‘A Midwinter’s Tale’ by Kenneth Branagh. It had been unavailable from any kind of broadcast or digital sources. So I digitised my VHS copies and put a description online… find that here, too. By and by I will add a few of my most liked movies as a small reference.
I am a technical writer – and I like to do things that are related to technical matters just as much as I like dancing, writing, cooking, knitting, crocheting, thinking, watching movies, reading, listening to music, doing nothing…
I hope this little site provides some information or food for thought, entertaining insights – or just plain fun.
If you like it, leave me a comment, if you don’t – constructive criticism is also welcome!
