Time is running away … now it’s already been three months since the little one entered our life. And what should I say, it’s been a fantastic time so far … all of us are still learning something new every day. Recently Erik did his first front-to-back roll-over and he more and more grabbing and holding things. And with about 5700 g it’s also almost too late to call him the little one ;)
Yesterday, Noma has been, for the third time in a row, chosen as the best restaurant in the world.
I guess that just means that I yet again have to enjoy a first class 24 dish menu … once I happen to find the money :|
For a few minutes we are having stable beams and collisions at 8 TeV centre of mass energy at ATLAS now! The image shows a recent event display. Let’s see what the year will bring in addition …
Google has just updated its Art Project with quite a few new museums and galleries to a total of 151.
For example, you can take a virtual walking tour through the Pergamon museum in Berlin now.
Designing and building the first ATLAS model made of interconnectable plastic bricks (that’s what you name it if you cannot name it) was just the first of many things to be done.
After fighting and writing unsuccessfully to a whole bunch of people, I seem to have finally found the right person to be able to get hands on more bricks for more models. We’ll probably end up with models at quite a few institutes and exhibitions all around the world. But this is still work and mainly organisation in progress …
Besides that I started recording the construction manual video. After a first, slightly unsuccessful, attempt in my living room at home (I specifically set up lighting and a plate on top of my foosball table) and went out to collaboration with our media/outreach section. Today we have finally managed to set up a scene at the institute and started taking a few first shots. Due to the above mentioned collaboration and the resulting increase in professionalism (great camera, an actual camera operator, lighting and editing) I was convinced to shoot an intro clip. Which turned out to be the only thing we managed within today’s two hour session …
to my defence it features three different camera settings and three different languages (English, Danish, German)!
So there has been a lot of progress …
Still, there is also a lot of progress to be made ;)
