Probably the most important sentence that I will remember from my five day trip to London. Whenever you go by tube you will hear this over and over again three, times at each station. It is mainly a warning so that you don’t fall off the train when entering or leaving but I suppose it is much more than just … Read More

As I spent a few days in London I managed to grab some pictures of the very huge fireworks at the “London Eye”. Standing on Westminster Bridge all0wed a beautiful view along the river and millions of people shared this event. Unfortuneately that lead to a comparably memorable way home when everybody began to push oneself through the crowd and … Read More

Well, at least, the path lead to three different choices. I mean, the three different computer games based on the “Matrix Trilogy”. I personally played “Enter the Matrix” when it came out and my impression was that it was, well.. not finished. The graphics were incomplete, some levels looked like the designers created them during lunch time. It was an … Read More

You probably already noticed it the last time you walked across the centre of the city you live in. This smell of sweets all around. Those funny fir trees standing all over the place. Strange people -most of them might look quite heavy- in red suits standing at nearly every corner. And whereever you find a loudspeaker you’ll probably hear … Read More

Sometimes the things geeks/nerds do cannot be explained logically. I’m a big fan of Star Wars and I know some other geeks that are big Star Wars fans on their own. As you know the Star Wars Episode III – DVD came out some time ago and therefore we (three friends and me) planned to do the unbelievable: Watching all … Read More

Do you know that “peanut butter” may not be called “Erdnußbutter” (that’s simply peanut butter in german) in Germany? It’s not made of milk and butter in a european-union-regulated-ISO-standardized-german-word-kind-of-sense means that the products have to do something with milk in a controlled manner of production. Or something like that. So, the word “Butter” can’t be used for this product in … Read More

Sometimes I wonder how all those people writing blogs find subjects to write about. Because when I just sat down to add a new note to my blog I suddenly realized that I’ve got nothing to brag about. Really, nothing. Nothing particularly interesting happened to me and so I’m just here to write that down, just in case anybody wonders…Oh, … Read More

There is a new blog that I’d like to draw attention to, although it will probably get more attention without that than my blog ever will if I’d lauch adverts on tv…The creator of DIlbert, a comic very popular at least among nerds, Scott Adams started recently started his blog. I’ve read it and it’s quite as funny as his … Read More

Do you sometimes wonder how your life affected the world so far? I mean there are of course about 6 billion people on this planet but I tend to believe that somehow each and every one of them changes the world. Maybe only a little bit. I sometimes wonder what would have happened if I had not done a specific … Read More

I love music. I know quite a lot of songs and I believe that I know by whom they’re interpreted. Occasionally I’m wrong with that. Just today I realised that the song “Somebody” which I knew from a Best-of-album is actually from Depeche Mode. I always liked the lyrics and therefore looked it up. The version I know was played … Read More

I’m just watching a concert on tv. I don’t know if you know Daniel Powter, he just had a great hit in Germany with his song “Bad day”. I have to admit that I somehow envy those artists who can play piano AND sing at the same time. I do play the piano myself (though not in public) but I … Read More

I think I mentioned that I played with the thought for some time but since yesterday I finally have my very own personal iPod!My old MP3 Player only had 256 mb memory, iPod has 20GB. So now I can carry around not only ALL of my favourite music but also a handful of audiobooks, photos and so on.It took me … Read More
