Measuring the World

Books

In the same manner as I use to comment movies I’ve seen I am gonna start it for books now, even though this will happen by far less often.
Anyway… During my holidays in Greece I read a book written by Daniel Kehlmann called “Measuring the World”.
It’s I nice book about Mr. Gauss (the one with the distribution, etc.) and Mr. Humboldt (the brother of the founder of my university) that Troels recommended to read.
It’s originally a German book, that’s why the picture/link is German. For all others heres the English link even though it’s on the German Amazon.

Physics gives me a hadron!

Physics

Sorry for my infatile humour and writing insider jokes on my blog, but today I heard about this nice groupname at facebook… haven’t checked out the group or even facebook itself though!

It’s stupid… I know, but still in a way quite genius, isn’t it!

Transformers

Movies

Yesterday I watched the new Transformers movie… It’s kind of good, actually exactly as I expected it, which is good enough… one of my favourite critics said something like following about the movie: “after loud comes simply loader”. Which is probably right… but I guess that’s one of the reasons you go to action movies?!
In addition it was a great revival of the time I got up at six on the weekend to see e.g. the Transformers cartoons ;-)
btw this picture/link is for the original “Transformers – The Movie”, not the one that’s in cinemas right now…

Greece


as the Greek use to say for “Hello”!
I just came back from eleven beautiful days in Greece. To be even more precise on Crete.
To sumarise in short words: It was too damn hot!
To give it a little more: It was beautiful… we saw a shit load of things, beautiful beaches, canyons, villages and more…
I’ll post some pictures here and fill up my gallery later ;-)
