Perfect sky shadow on a plane


Yesterday, before I boarded the plane, I noticed the sky was just beautiful, with an amazing summer sunset. I started to climb the stairs, and just before I entered the aircraft I was able to snap this quick shot through a narrow gap in the door. Sometimes the light, time, season, and weather are perfect for a picture like this.

Vue.js, very popular in the last year


Some weeks ago, when I finished work, I was about to leave the building and saw on the wall a sheet of paper with information about a Vue.js meetup here in Berlin. I had never heard about Vue.js, and the more I read, the more interested I became in this front-end JavaScript framework.

Google Trends shows that Vue.js has been the most popular framework in the last 12 months. Vue.js is self-described as "a progressive framework for building user interfaces. Unlike other monolithic frameworks, Vue is designed from the ground up to be incrementally adoptable". I gave it a go, and it's quite interesting.

Largest producers of ice cream in Europe


Currently there is a heat wave named Lucifer that's bringing scorching hot temperatures to southern and central Europe. Maybe that's the reason why Eurostat published statistics some days ago about the largest producers of ice cream on the continent. It's not surprising that the "gelato" country is at the top of the list, but I was surprised to learn that Germany was second in the rankings.

A pleasant evening in Krakow


Last night my colleagues joined me for a walk to the city center of Krakow, where I wanted to look for a present at the old city market. There were flocks of tourists in the old town, but the weather was quite pleasant, so it was nice to walk around.
