Packed Birthday Party

Berlin, Family & Friends

Unfortunately the weather didn’t like the idea of a BBQ too much … so we had to move from the park to our beloved dwelling and do the BBQ on the balcony (thanks to Marc for that).
Still I (and I guess the others too) had a very nice belated birthday party :) that filled up our flat good …
Thanks to everyone for coming (or trying to), bringing stuff, leaving stuff (gifts … hehe) and helping with stuff …

We also did the awards ceremony with medals and documents for the IIHF World Championship ’09 betting game where Lisa made a fabulous first place, followed by my father and me … unfortunately I missed to make pictures …

Le Corbusier

Berlin

This weekend I went to see the ‘Le Corbusier’ exhibition which currently resides in the Martin-Gropius-Bau in Berlin. Very nice exhibition on his art and architecture. From drawings over sketches, models to movies … a bit of everything!
Certainly worth seeing in case you like architecture …
It’s there until October 5th 2009 and costs 8 Euros (6 for students).

Shift marathon

CERN

After my first lecture and hands on sessions on Monday and Tuesday, respectively, I am about to start my validation shift for Pixel DAQ in a few minutes (15-23h). I had another training shift yesterday evening (15-23h) and will have my first three Pixel DAQ shifts for this year in the following three nights (23-7h) … and then I am dead I guess ;) … and on my way back to Berlin!

Terminator Salvation

Movies

T800 is back! And so is Arnie … even if only for a few seconds (and maybe not even the real one) in the new Terminator movie …
The movie is probably not as groundbreaking as the previous movies but it is certainly entertaining and LOUD! And it’s a movie that definitively benefits from a huge silver screen …

On the other side …

CERN

… of the LHC ring, is where I have been today.
To become a CMS Guide! Yeah you read right CMS, not ATLAS!
We don’t want to put on blinkers and be open minded …
and I have to admit there is slightly more to see under ground.
