We finished watching Netflix’s adaptation of García Márquez’ One Hundred Years of Solitude (Cien Años de Soledad) last night.

While watching I often asked myself “how will they achieve this or that? It simply won’t translate!” only to be blown away a couple of minutes later.

I grew up hearing my uncle repeat over and over that every Colombian needs to read the book once a year so I had to read it a couple of times. I would say even the literary purists need to watch this. Faithful adaptation and amazing production. It is undoubtedly the most colorful history lesson to the country and a visual masterpiece in magical realism.

It’s finally happening! People I used to follow on Twitter are moving to Bluesky where I can just subscribe via RSS feed. Not ideal but still a small open web win in my book.

Went to see King Buzzo and Trevor Dunn play a set at Klub Niebo.

Got a couple of invites for Record Club. If anyone is interested in joining this small music discovery community let me know.

I think it will become the definitive “Letterboxd for albums” if they add user’s RSS feeds before RYM/Sonemic offers an API (it’s only been 9+ years of waiting!)

Today was warm, sunny and beautiful. Perfect excuse to go on a bike tour around the city.
