However, I do have an account just for the sake of completeness (because I do have account on most web 2.0 services to do research and geek … Read More
Me at the Movies
I think I mentioned it briefly [..no I just checked, and I didn’t…], but last year in October I had the opportunity to be an extra in an german television movie called “Die Todesautomatik”. I was with them for a day playing an east-german soldier first and then playing a warden in a jail. As I was an extra (or … Read More

In a constant effort to add more geek- and nerdiness to my life I’ve recently subscribed to some large web 2.0-related blogs including techcrunch.com, scobleizer and Pulse 2.0.

Sunday poem – fourth edition
And another poem, but this time it is a completely new, freshly written and unpublished piece of which I’m not sure whether it’s as funny as it should be. Or even entertaining. Or good.

Sunday poem – third edition
Ok, time again for another poem. It’s english but it’s rather different from what I usually write. You should read it top down. Every column is a line and there is not only one way this poem makes sense -if it does at all-, so it’s probably more a puzzle than a poem. Or a poezzle. One more time Another … Read More
