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

Somebody

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

It’s me again. 🙂I’ve come to read an interview with David Copperfield in a (german) magazine lately and he explained how exactly he became a magician (or illusionist). He said it had to do with him being such an isolated person when he was a child (probably something like a geek or nerd). And when he came into magic it … Read More

I’m just doing some research for a project of mine where I’m going to make a website about hacker culture. There are indeed nice texts (in english) about that subject and I’m going to summarize the knowledge into a nice comprehensive set of web pages for one of my seminars. This is an excerpt from “The jargon file”: mu: /moo/ … Read More

Right to your BONEs… / adventures rolling upon you

I just had a look at the website of the wonderful people at TellTale Games, a company that is one of the few still believing in good storytelling and the adventure genre.

music with iTunes

It’s fantastic!I have to admit that I’ve fallen in love somehow… with Apple. I always wondered about their machines and then researched a bit until I finally understood that Apple products always have that little extra thought put into them. They work AND they look good.But they are expensive. And so I don’t own any product up to now but … Read More

Well, it’s (as far as I know) a famous movie by Michael Moore (add 9/11), a science-fiction novel that also made it into a movie by Ray Bradbury (add 451) and in some strange parts of this world it’s an objective way to express the actual temperature which I cannot really understand for we in Germany use Celsius degrees. 451 … Read More
