Help me find this video: I remember seeing a short film (part of a documentary?) a few years back of a hip-hop artist buying a record in a record store and then taking samples from it. The sampling is shown with actors playing musicians that appear or disappear as the producer is selecting their tracks. I think at one point only the drummer gets to stay. The producer is shown with his father or grandfather who talks to him about cutting up the old record. Can you tell me which video that was?

Apparently fireworks safety is less of an issue in Germany than it is in The Netherlands. These people were standing on a crowded balcony, their kids lighting fireworks without safety goggles or cotton fuses and watching it go up from maybe half a meter away. It was just scary to watch!

The reason using Github makes me so unhappy is because it feels like doing admin, which I really hate. I know millions of people thinks it's awesome but for me it's exactly the wrong mix of uninteresting and complicated. My brain just won't remember how to do things like pull requests.
(I feel like there should a dumbed down version of it, a website that looks like it was made for children. Don't tell me that I should make that and put that on Github because I don't know how 😠)

Making the snow settle higher than a couple of pixels without it looking like growing mould turned out to be kind of hard, but I think I have it πŸ™‚ ❄️ β˜ƒοΈ

For Coderdojo (volunteers teaching kids how to code) I made this P5.js christmas card.
The card even has object-oriented snow!

Van en over onze zuiderburen maar hier in NL ook van toepassing, wat als de wal inderdaad het schip heeft gekeerd: "Misschien komen we dan tot inzicht, denkt u, misschien zullen we dan eindelijk op beleidsmakers stemmen die de ernst van de situatie eer aandoen. Maar waar gaan we dan, als het hele land platligt, de energie, de daadkracht en het kapitaal vandaan halen om de nodige verandering teweeg te brengen?"
