Watch Fact of the Day: The Omega Speedmaster Was Originally Designed for Auto Racing
The Omega Speedmaster started its journey back in 1957, aimed at motorsport enthusiasts, not astronauts. It was part of Omega's "Professional Line" with design features like a tachymeter scale for measuring speed, making it a go-to for racers. But plot twist: the Speedmaster ended up being picked for NASA's Apollo missions, earning its nickname "Moonwatch." This unexpected shift from the racetrack to space made its story super intriguing. The watch, built for speed on the ground, became legendary for traveling to the Moon. It's a prime example of how an object's purpose can evolve dramatically over time. -

In this year's GPHG Jewellery category, seven #watches competed for six nomination slots. Picking six at random is mathematically guaranteed to include five of the six eventual nominees. That is why Time the Destroyer, writing at Free Sprung, reports his model's 65% hit rate (55 of 84 nominees) as a 78% lift over the roughly 37% random picking would deliver. He also sealed his forecasts in password-protected PDFs before the nominations. https://freesprung.substack.com/p/reading-the-gphg-how-predictable

#weeklyreview 04/2026
week04: 2026-01-18 until 2026-01-24
Summary
I picked up a CASIO A168WA-1 watch & love the simplicity and battery life, though I’ll still need to grab my smartwatch when I actually want to track workouts. My automated Mastodon setup is working like a charm; N8N wakes up my Jenkins PC when there’s a new release, and everything updates itself in under 12 hours without me lifting a finger. The attic renovation is looking great now that the roof tiler’s finished with the windows and prep work. Also made some solid Gulasch this week and I’m still working through that Lucia Berlin book. More Ice skating on the weekend.
Old school
Finally got myself an old CASIO watch again. Noticed that the good old vintage watches became popular again. My first watch was the famous CASIO F-91W back in the 1990s. Several years battery life, water proof, sturdy, functional. Had several other CASIO watches after that. Up to the slightly bulky ProTrek with altitude and temperature sensors before GARMIN started to make Forerunner watches.
Now my son started to wear the CASIO A158 and triggered me finally getting one again as well. I had the F-91W in my shopping cart for some years now. But eventually settled for the slightly classier A168WA-1. The A158 is very similar, but to me the light just wasn’t working well enough to be able to read the time in low light condition. The Illuminator backlight of the A168WA works much better for me.
Let’s see how long this will last on me. I like the simplicity and no-worry battery life. It’s also quite affordable and durable enough for me to not worrying about wearing it in all activities.
Only drawback is that I’d have to put on a smart watch for exercises again explicitly to track the heart rate and effort.
Automation
Last week a new Mastodon security release was published. My server is running with a slighly modified version to allow for posts with 5000 characters. So for evey release I have to build a new docker image for my instances. The process of checking out the Mastodon repo, patching the sources, building and uploading the docker images is automated with a Jenkins server. That Jenkins server is an old desktop PC that’s really only used for this purpose and doesn’t have to run all the time. But when there is a new Mastodon release, I want to be able to build the new images as quickly as possible. Especially for security updates.
I’m using N8N for this part. A workflow uses the Mastodon Release RSS feed as a trigger. If there is a new release, the N8N workflow will send a Wake-on-LAN signal to my Jenkins PC and wake it up. Jenkins will do it’s job and produce the new docker images and publish them to my docker hub. On my servers Watchtower (and now a clone of the original, see last weeks post) is checking the running containers whether there are updates to their images available. If so, it’ll pull these images and restart the container.
That automation worked well again for the last Mastodon security update and brought my instance up to the latest release in less than 12hrs without me having to touch anything 🙂
Cooking
Felt the craving for Gulasch (beef stew) this week and set up a large pot for our weekly family dinner. As a side I used carrots and german dumplings. The kids each had 2 refills … so wasn’t that bad apparently.
I like those carrots. It’s really just sliced carrots and a tablespoon of butter in a pot. Cook for about 15-20 minutes until the carrots are soft to your liking. Super simple, super delicious.
Also the stew is pretty simple to make if you just obey some simple rules and have enough time of course. The secret ingredient to good food is usually patients 😉
Mini BnB
On Thursday we had a mini Beer’n’Burger meetup with a slightly reduced crew. Nevertheless delicious burgers at Rembrandt Burgers in Friedrichshain. Still shocked that our friend didn’t knew the Maulfwurfn by René Marik (who’s also outspoken against AfD and other Nazis 🙌).
#project25 updates
The roof tiler is done with his work in the attic. All new windows are in and the roof constructions is prepared for the insulation. It’s a really nice and bright space up there at the moment. Tempted to just turn it into a loft 😉
Ice Skating
This week was rather cold and the ice on the lake got thicker again. As it was thawing a few days the week before, the surface now was rather smooth as the melted water just froze again. Best conditions to go ice skaing again. At some spots the ice was so clear I could see the vegetation below the surface. Some hexagonal air enclosures caught my attention.
Learning
mmh, can’t really recall anything particular learning in that week. Should probably take a more explicit effort next week.
Reading
Still making steady progress with “Manual for Cleaning Woman” by Lucia Berlin.

Yee, with crazy drops like this, I don’t even bother. Just an excuse from the manufacturer to create hype on a watch truly worth a buck. #Timex #OneMoreWatch #Watches #WatchesOfMastodon

Hi all! I studied computer science with a focus on RTOS and FP/PL, but I graduated law school earlier this year. I practice at a boutique firm that primarily handles IP cases. I foilboard and I play way too many rhythm games in and out of the arcade.
I contribute to open source projects where I can, and I write up my experience in my digital garden which I’ve been maintaining for 2 years now. It’s also a good place to find usage tips for projects/tools that you might want to use.
My passion for tech also includes privacy, and I’m an advocate for minimizing your digital footprint. GenAI is a scam and its purveyors are causing real harm while they sell it as hard as they can.

Interesting article. When I read things I like this I realize still how much I—like so many other fans—am still devastated by what happened on December 8, 1980.

The Strange Journey of John Lennon’s Stolen Patek Philippe Watch -
So, #Norqain is, for the first time, in Geneva at #Watches & Wonders. And they try what has been tried several times before, an online configurable watch model. So far, no one really succeeded at this, and I think they will fail, too. Sadly.

My personal highlight so far is the reissued #Piaget Polo Date. Very nice:
