IFA Tech 2024
IFA Berlin is celebrating 100 years in 2024. The trend is AI and sustainability, but I found some some products that will make impacts in their own way.
Stay tuned for more coverage from IFA Berlin.

The Beach From Another Planet
Beaches have their own special properties, unique characteristics. Visiting
St. Peter Ording on the North Sea Coast Germany, a visitor would be hard
pressed to miss what makes this wide coastal landscape distinctive, the feeling
of landing on another planet. In a few moments the weather changes from bright
sun to grey overcast.The sounds of water coming in, the wind pitch in the ear,
Frank Hubert could have been inspired to write a wet version of his sci-fi
classic Dune after visiting Ording. There is an almost unnatural feeling on this part of the world.
In late August, I saw few sun bathers, rather beach trollers taking
advantage of the low tide, reflecting on nature allows us mere mortals to use for a moment.

The Moon Under the Water
A beach where visitors are required to walk without shoes. This is the tradition in the North Sea resort town of Büsum. As the tide leaves a moon surface textured seafloor pattern emerges. Once known as a small fishing village, Büsum is an ideal location for exploring Coastal Germany or for just a relaxing break. The seaside destination of 6,000 offers a Down to Earth charm worth absorbing.
Büsum is 415 miles from Berlin in Schleswig-Holstein.

Tech Trends 2024
IFA is coming this September. The large consumer electronics and technology event celebrates its Centennial in 2024 in Berlin.
This year there will be many elephants in the room
Artificial Intelligence continues to be a big question mark. The fear and misunderstanding of the new technology continue to baffle industry and individuals.
Recently, tech giant Google lost a big anti-trust case in the United States. Will the Mountain View company have to sell Chrome browser or Android operation system?
Tech and consumer brands are getting squeezed by costs resulting in many industry layoffs.
As consumers face higher prices, many have resisted upgrades, delaying expensive purchases.
Geopolitics continue to play a larger role in technology development and innovation. With China producing more sophisticated chips, other countries could break away from Western centric devices, platforms and operating systems.
IFA 2024 starts September 4th.

Vivid From LA
Streetwear fashion label BruceGlen has an expressive take on streetwear. The Los Angeles based brand goes for vivid looks. I met twin brothers Bruce and Glen Proctor at the Milan Fashion Week Hub while the duo were showing some of the expressive pieces. Are these pieces a person would wear everyday? Who cares! As they said, “It’s about fun.”

The Iconic French Star
Alain Delon, the French Cinematic Star passes away at 88. Delon was known for his intense smouldering good looks and big screen presence. Le Samouraï happens to be a film noir favourite.
Born in Sceaux, France in 1935, Delon became an international star in the 1960’s working with directors including Rene Clement, Luchino Visconti and Louis Malle.
Alain Delon was more than handsome, but also had charisma and talent.

Beach Inspired Tranquillity
Of course not, in August a beach in Usedom does not resemble this picture of tranquillity. The popular Northern German resort becomes a summer getaway for many visitors seeking sun and water. However, I tend to like the Baltic Coast during the less traveled times.
Usedom is a two-hour and thirty minute drive from Berlin.
The Paris Olympics, a sporting competition with athletes wearing tight lycra highlighting manly body parts. Understandable, fit guys in prime shape are the ultimate eye candy and physical fantasy. However, for those who could not make it to the 2024 Games, but plan on being in the French Capital one day. Forget about those medal ceremonies, for this event, participation is enough, “Let this Game Begin”. I can recommend a tawdry experience that is sort of a spectator sport that is a cheap thrill bordering on pervy.
Parisian parks are the gathering place for a densely packed city. There are activities of all kind, families walking with a stroller, romantic young couples sitting on the grass, teenagers hanging out with friends. Jogging is also a popular ritual. Men run around the parks: single, in pairs and in groups. One common thread, undoubtedly many of these guys want to be an object of sexual variations. These baguettes come in all shapes and sizes.
Grab a Croissant then Enjoy
A runner in a public space on a sunny day is as normal as birds in trees. But what makes Paris different is what the male runners wear. Grab a coffee and croissant, get a viewing spot next to a running trail, sit and view. French men seem to buy fitness wear in the children’s department. The tights look tighter in a certain place. Nothing is left to imagination. A well outlined penis held in place by the most fitted legging stitching. One has to wonder if sweat could come between a body part and material.
The second outfit is the loose look, shorts made of polyester and elastane. For some reasons these mid-rise shorts seem full, almost, overflowing swinging from side to side. A carnal advertisement in live motion. One common thread, many of these guys want to be an object of sexual variations. Certainly, these men look in the mirror before going out the door. It makes one wonder if their partners know the runner wants an affair with half the city, a mass public flirtation. Or maybe there are local hotels charging by the hour.
One does not need the world’s biggest sporty event for enjoying an impressive bulge in Paris, just find a green space on a given sunny day.
The 20th annual HollyShorts film festival is underway. Check here for coverage with reviews and interviews with filmmakers from the Hollywood gathering.
