/About

moin1, i'm pzumk (/piː tuː keɪ/)

i'm just a random guy (he/him) in my mid-30s living in hamburg, germany with my wife and our newborn. my day job has nothing to do with the web at all but i've been on the internet for as long as i can remember and have always been posting, chatting, and moderating communities, and setting up profiles in different corners of the internet. i have a passion for missed opportunities, apple, and photography. and it's that last one that inspired the relaunch of this website in 2025.

when i set this up, i wanted it to only be a photo blog, but it quickly became more than that after i decided to import old posts from various sources like old social media profiles or my day one archive2, and also adding lots of slash pages (maybe pzumk.com will grow to a little3 digital garden?).

a few months after launch, i realised i wanted to have photos on a separate website, that's when i got the domain ptrcks.photos, set up another bearblog and migrated images to the new site, where i'll continue to upload photos.

i'll be posting little tweets toots posts status updates notes(!) to the page you're reading this on, pzumk.com, and at the same time syndicating to other social networks, mainly mastodon.

since this site is an ever-changing 'project', a list of changes to the site can be found at /changelog.

my verified socials are on /verify with many ways to contact me, if needed.

also as a bonus if you’ve been reading so far, here's a rare portrait of me, here's a summary of what sort of person ai thinks i am! you can also see what kind of a guy i am, on what hills i'm willing to die and what i'm not willing to do.

xoxo pzumk


  1. 'moin' is the typical and most popular greeting in hamburg

  2. the journal app 'day one' has not only been a journal but also a place where i automatically saved lots of different stuff like tweets, foursquare check-ins, or blog posts from different places.

  3. if this is even possible with pika's limited functionality as opposed to self hosting a website. moving to bearblog made this easier
