Lost ships, the eye of Sauron, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2022#14)
Full week at a conference, so basically no news/links on my side. However, going back to meet people face to face was amazing. Super cool talks, nice food, and my body clearly saying to me that I am not used to being far from home for a full week anymore. Nature’s images of the month.…

Secret Cosmere books, dreams of Californication, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2022#09)
Lots of news this week. For the last few days I have been very focused on the conflict on Ukraine, and I was quite worried that the recap could seem a bit mono-thematic. However, I had the luck to come across interesting things to lighten up the mood a little. Let’s get to it: My…

Virtual realities, a GOTY contender, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2022#08)
