Live Free or Die Hard

John McClane is back with another amazing and even more unrealistic epic drama: “Live Free or Die Hard”. Just watched it last Friday.
It lacks some of the old movies’ coolness, which is mostly due to the exaggerated stunts (e.g. Jet-Fighter surfing, car-on-heli-shooting). But anyway, anything allowed for Bruce!
Probably not worth the cinema money, but still too good for a small tv-set ;-)

W mass in ATLAS e-News

The ATLAS e-News recently published an article written by Troels (my former supervisor) about the forseen precision measurement of the W boson mass at ATLAS. Illustrating the development of the measured value and its uncertainty and giving a short summary of the results we published in our note (to be published soon, hopefully).
I am, amoung others, also mentioned in the end :-)

Discworld – Mort

After finishing the Rincewind story and the little digression to the discovery of the longitude I am back to the Discworld … This time I started the story of one of my most favourite characters on the Discworld: ‘I COULD MURDER A CURRY’ – Death. A story about him trying to find a apprentice! Another great one, even though the end is a bit odd, I think!?
