You can get a glimpse of the larges experiment ever build by mankind in the new Angels & Demons trailer … watch out for the 42nd second! (42 you understand!?)
The force of the mob
After dozens of my friends told me, throughout the past years, to look at these pictures or read this comment or find that address on this and that Facebook profile I finally created my own Facebook profile.
Yeah it’s true … I got weak!
But at least I am not playing Facebook games, yet ;)
Goodbye and Hello
It’s been a tough day … saying goodbye for good to a friend that has been on my side since almost fifteen years. Only compensated by the fact that I might have gained a new friend that might follow me as long as the old one …
Therefore this post is a tribute to my old Hyundai Lantra 1.5 GLS Airbag Edition as well as welcome to my new Hyundai i30 1.6 Comfort Edition.
During the last fifteen (mainly the last eight) years I have taken my old car from central Sweden to the Mediterranean Sea from France to Czech Republic, through at least nine european countries and drove about 150000 km, without ever having any brakedown (leaving the crashes aside) … even though the old friend lost a mirror I think four times, got crached in by others at least four times and suffered some other pain we don’t want to talk about … also it got its windows smashed in twice, got bottles thrown at it and the bonnet and the roof vandalized.
Man … it’s sad!
On the other hand there’s the new friend … shiny and still smelling of the factory …
We’ll see what it will bring …
Nineteen Eighty-Four
Just finished reading George Orwells’ classic dystopian novel describing a dark future under a repressive, totalitarian regime.
Looking at today’s increasing surveillance and restrictions on the rights of the individuals, it’s quite interesting to read this story already published in 1949.
Certainly readable, even though not always entertaining just because of the topic it’s about …
Nevermore
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
`’Tis some visitor,’ I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door –
Only this, and nothing more.’
You may ask yourself why? It’s Edgar Allan Poe’s 200th birthday today!
