Since today Amazon Germany also offers mp3 downloads … just had a discussion with a friend about Amazon … by now you can buy almost everything at theirs … of course there is other online shops, but since I’m a fan … why not mention it …
And if you buy stuff using this link I’ll love it even more ;)
Back at CERN
I just arrived at CERN … after the usual two day trip, this time staying at a friend’s place in Darmstadt (greetz to Daniel), I just checked in to the St. Genis Hostel of CERN … which is sh** but will be my home for the next couple of days I as it seems …
Happy Birthday WWW
Just about now, at 14:00, CERN and probably some more institutions and people are celebrating the 20th birthday of what is known as the WorldWideWeb these days.
In March 1989 Tim Berners-Lee handed in his first proposal for what was the basis of the WWW to his bosses at CERN.
The whole story can be found here and the original proposal is linked here.
Happy Birthday!
And thanks Mr. Berners-Lee.
Clockwork Orange and Be Kind Rewind

Another two ‘interesting’ movies … the first one, ‘Clockwork Orange’ directed Stanley Kubrick, was certainly special. Even though I read the book, I was still kinda surprised. I guess you either like it or you don’t. And even though I liked the book, in case of the movie I would fall in the latter category.
The other one, ‘Be Kind Rewind’ … well, it has its jokes, but … after all another low class comedy.
Addendum in movies



Due to my recent illness I completely forgot to write posts about some of the movies I have seen recently …
We started out with “Bladerunner” … a classic by Ridley Scott with Harrison Ford based on the book “Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?” (see previous post) by Philip K. Dick … old (and one always has to get used to it again) but nice movie …
Next one was the “The Bucket List” with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman as two old guys at the end of their lives trying to do as many of the things they always wanted to do but never did … unfortunately kinda lame movie …
And the last one was “L’ Auberge Espagnole” … a movie about some strange economics student and his Erasmus year in Barcelona … unfortunately not really to recommend, just as the previous one …
Well, sometimes you’re lucky and sometimes you’re not … let’s hope we’re more lucky with the next one …
