I’m glad to see that WWDC will be a remote-first event this year. The demand has far outstripped supply for years now (remember when tickets sold out in seconds in 2013?). In any case the new format seems more equitable to me.

School’s Out
Ever since the announcement today that all schools in Switzerland will be closed, I have a mixture of Alice Cooper’s “School’s Out” and Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick in the Walk (Part 2)” running through my head.
Swiss schools closed
Kudos to the Swiss government for taking decisive action to limit the spread of coronavirus. All schools are closed until 4 April, and gatherings are limited to 100 (restaurants to 50) until 30 April. Wish they’d done it earlier, but…
Fear Inoculum
I recently discovered Tool’s 2019 release “Fear Inoculum”. It seems an appropriate soundtrack for the times. 🎧
Banned from the USA
Banned from the USA! 🇺🇸🇨🇭 (playing in my head to the tune of Springsteen’s Born in the USA)
Curse you healthy hoarders!
At my local Coop (Swiss supermarket chain) this morning, the only type of flour that was out of stock was whole wheat, and the only type of rice out of stock was whole grain. Curse you healthy hoarders! 🤣
Super Tuesday
To my U.S. friends eligible to vote in a democratic primary today: please vote! Thank you.
Snow in Zürich
Thing that makes The Bourne Identity (2002) seem dated: snowy streets in Zürich.
St Jost hike
Spring hike from Raten to St Jost: 5.9km, 170m ascent, 2h15m, 7°C. Quite muddy as the snows melt.
