Just found out that the images I took of my LEGO model of the ATLAS detector are now also featured as official full detector images in the according ATLAS multimedia section. :)

Slam time [update]
Today is slam time in Berlin … my first one … quite excited!
19h00 at Urania Berlin (link).
Back from the slam … second of six :) … it was an interesting and entertaining night, though I didn’t see much as I had to wait outside for all others to finish before me … anyways, there might be another slam coming up some time next year …
Apparently there will be recordings of the event on youtube at some point … I’ll keep you updated!
2000 Euro worth in LEGO® pieces
I just ordered 2000 Euro worth in LEGO® pieces!
Quite a nice feeling, I have to admit! Those who follow this blog will know that it’s my most recently spare time project … an 1:50 ATLAS LEGO® model!
Unfortunately LEGO® was not willing to support me in this project so I had to manage it with the help of the HEP group at NBI alone.
Director General at Urania Berlin
For all of you interested in an Update on the Large Hadron Collider, the current Director General of CERN Prof. Dr. Rolf-Dieter Heuer will give a talk at Urania Berlin on Monday, April 26th at 19h00.
Pi Day – 3/14
There’s a day for everything, even for Pi! An guess what, its today!
Simply because these crazy Americans write their date in a funny way (dd/mm).
Isn’t it great! Anway, the best Pi Day ever was actually March 14th 1592 (3.1415926535…).
But for some reason people didn’t appreciate it that much back than!?
It was March 14th 1988 they first started thinking about the relevance of this number and therefore founded the Pi Day.
