Air bridge named desire
I hate travel. No that is wrong. I hate business travel by plane. Especially on fridays.
I think it might be some kind of early childhood trauma. It feels like being grounded. You have to be sit in a place you don’t really mind, but you would rather be somewhere else. In the beginning you tell [...]
Get off my lawn.
As usual I was sitting in the bus going to work. Reading my RSS-feeds and still silently wondering how it could happen that Germany voted for a conservative liberal government. But hey, democracy is build a round the idea, that everybody has the right to make dimwitted decisions. So what?
So what, you ask? I will [...]
The Internet manifest (in English)
A bunch of web-affine journalists and bloggers from Germany are trying to explain to the journalism industry, what its problem is and how it can survive. I took the liberty of a to translate it in English. Because I think that this is not just a German problem. I also have a google docs [...]
Intence
At the moment I am not in the best mood.The reason for that is, you might ask yourself. Traveling; I have spend to much time in and around airports. The whole traveling by plane and the labor involved is pissing me of.
I just can’t avoid the feeling that airport security was made to support a [...]
Buy proper Microphones When you want to podcast
Well I always through that the whole techno babble in podcasts are bullshit. But I understand it now.
I was thinking about starting my own Podcast project for while. And the first recording trial with my macbook have been promising. But as you can imagine after five minutes my inner geek arose. You can here the [...]
Love was written in notes
(Youtube Direktgondry, via Nerdcore, via Polkarobot)
Music is and has always been the best way of expressing love and Michel Gondry proofs this with „Carol Brown“ once again.

3D Printing – Hands-on experience
Today I got to play with a 310 from zCorp. Nice tool I have to say. This is a powder binder system based monochrome 3D printer. That means that powder is filled in a hole layer by layer and a inkjet nozzle basically paints the appropriate cross section on it and therefore the powder is [...]
UGO buys 1UP – And my entertainment schedule is ruined
Well, after not having a TV for the last tree and a bit years I was able to cover my daily craving for news, information and entertainment entirely by the web. Audio and video podcast together with the shire amount nonsense that found its way on my screen through twitter. My girlfriend and I became [...]
Functionality I want in the iphone/ipod

ESTC 2008.1

The first talk is on “Versatile low cost wafer-level [...]

The adventure begins
Holy Crap,
After ten month I was able to convince our landlord/letting agency to fix our bath. It was just possible by using financial force (refused to pay the full rent). Well, tomorrow the plumber will start to take the tiles from the wall. The schedule says that the works will be finished on Friday. [...]
Virgin Media is not an option anymore
Yeah,
This is exactly what we need, another ISP co-operating with the content mafia. This is the problem that they are looking in our traffic. Why are we still taking this, we would not let the royal mail look in our letters, would we? Stand up and sue this people in Luxembourg City.
