After starting into the weekend with some very nice and tough badminton matches, some Orangina drinking and almost last tram missing, I continued on Saturday with the Plains Palais fleamarket, some troubles to go through to get a drill that has a hammer/action, Korean Gimbap selfmade with my flatmates and a Champagne Party at Troels’ place … almost won the music quiz with my team and went home kind a late.
Still today I woke up fairly early and was convinced to go for a hike in the Jura mountains … unfortunately the bowling that was supposed to give this weekend the proper close, wasn’t at all as good as the mountains … the lanes were quite shitty and they had this cosmic bowling thingy going on … man!

Weltmaschine
Today the Weltmaschine exhibition starts in Berlin!
Its supposed to be a very nice exhibition on the LHC and the connected experiments such as ATLAS. There’s physicists from all over Germany coming to the Bundestag Subway Station in Berlin to explain the physics and more to the visitors.
First impressions from CERN
Well the first two weeks (with a little break though) are already over …
I am slowly settling in Geneva and at CERN … quite a few new things that came up during these weeks … and quite some work, man! But its cool … ;)
Here’s two pictures of the Globe in yesterday’s fine Geneva morning fog and of my office (I sit on the left side) at CERN. Btw the weather got really nice later the day … it often starts shitty like this …
Geneva Pet
Just one week after my arrival in Geneva I already got myself a nice little pet.
I found I cute little annoying tick at the back of my left knee … dammit!
Here’s the little bastard that now graces our whiteboard in 32 2-A18 …
Weltmaschine.de
Just on time for the LHC start-up the Federal Ministry of Education and Research in collaboration with the German institutes working on the LHC and it’s experiments launched a new website called Weltmaschine.de (only German though).
It is another piece of an outreach campaign that started with the very successful LHC-Train that was cruising the S-Train ring in Berlin for the Long Night of Science in June.
The Grand Finale is an exhibition in the so far unused subway station Bundestag in the period from October 15th to November 16th.
