Three years after his death, I finally found the words to write about my father. Not as an engineer, though he was a brilliant and respected one, but as a quiet, dignified man whose love of nature, steadiness, and way of looking at the world shaped my own life far more deeply than I understood at the time. This is a remembrance, and in its own way, a thank-you.

The Annual Green Bay Super Bowl Prophecy
Every spring, the NFL performs its little theatre of hope, and I perform my part with great dignity and no measurable restraint. The Green Bay Packers draft someone promising, sign someone intriguing, or merely produce a training-camp clip of mild beauty, and I enter the WhatsApp group with the only reasonable conclusion: Super Bowl. It is not delusion. The trophy is named after Vince Lombardi. We are simply asking for the family silver to be returned.
When we said: “We’ll get Max!”
As children, we did not need comic-book superheroes. We had our own. In our corner of the Zürcher Oberland, the ultimate name was Max Wolfensberger, a figure of almost mythical strength, borrowed from the adult world and transformed into childhood legend. Only many years later did I discover the real man behind the name, and with that discovery came not disillusionment, but a deeper tenderness for both him and the beautiful innocence of those early years.
Tesla FSD Supervised and the Dinosaur thinking around it
Tesla’s Full Self-Driving Supervised is still dismissed as “just driver assistance” by many critics. But that misses the point entirely. While others debate labels, Tesla is solving the far harder problem: real-world driving across complex environments, powered by a software-first approach that improves at relentless speed. This is not about Level 3 badges or sensor checklists. It is about who is building the smarter, scalable, and ultimately more relevant model for the future of mobility.
Fair Play: Tesla Delivered!
After all the noise, shifting expectations and familiar Tesla theatre, there is now something real on the table: approval. RDW has granted provisional validity for Tesla’s FSD in the Netherlands, and that deserves recognition. My original skepticism was reasonable at the time, but facts matter more than ego. So yes, fair play to Tesla. This time, the hype was followed by paperwork, and that makes all the difference.
Tesla’s FSD Deadline Farce
Tesla’s April 10 FSD saga was never just about one missed date. It was about a company once again feeding the public a timeline it did not truly control, while the responsible Dutch authority communicated in far more cautious terms. That is the real problem: not delay itself, but the sloppy, hype-driven habit of turning expectations into apparent facts and leaving everyone else to deal with the confusion.
The Tesla FSD Paradox
Tesla may be close to a genuine breakthrough in supervised autonomous driving in Europe, and that deserves real recognition. Its vision-based system looks astonishingly capable in complex traffic. But that progress also makes Tesla’s everyday stupidity even funnier. When a car can seemingly understand cyclists, pedestrians and chaos, yet still fails at a blatantly obvious route, admiration quickly turns into disbelief.
Shut Up, Max? Why F1 Media has become Part of the Problem
Max Verstappen is not the problem. The real problem is a Formula 1 that keeps drifting away from actual racing, while parts of the media unfairly attack the one driver honest enough to say it. Instead of listening to the purest racer on the grid, they dismiss him as bitter, spoiled or complaining, as if the obvious decline in spectacle were not already visible to anyone paying attention. Bigger, heavier, overmanaged cars have turned elite drivers into caretakers of systems rather than racers.
Booking.com — Flights are a Trap, and Vueling is the perfect Airline for It
Booking.com turned a simple flight booking into a bureaucratic ambush, while Vueling treated standard cabin baggage like an optional luxury. Hidden details, broken post-booking clarity, useless support, and a dead-end check-in process turned an ordinary trip to Barcelona into a perfect case study in how not to treat customers.
Formula 1 is dead. Long live Formula Eco!
What Formula 1 fans had to witness at the 2026 season opener in Australia was not a spectacle. It was not the beginning of an exciting new era. It was not the kind of racing experience that reminds you why…
