same procedure as every year …
yes, here we go again … still some time to go, but the Maschinenfest 2009 is now on.
Oct. 09 to Oct. 11, this year the location changed from Krefeld to Essen.
they still have “it”
back from the depeche mode open air in munich. once again, a feast for eyes and ears. and M83 as opener was very enjoyable – add a nice summer evening, some friends.
stir, relax, enjoy.

apple updates the mac mini …
… after so long a time spent waiting – make that lusting – for an update to the mac mini, apple finally did it. it may not seem like the earthquake everybody was hoping for and surely one could spend aeons debating about the pricing, but /me thinks it’s time now. time for a mini in the living room, media center deluxe.
the packaging shot is taking from macminicolo.net. if you want to see more (and take a look at the mini’s inner values), visit their mac mini 2009 page
adsense randomness
just happened to look at the google ads showing here … i added some adsense a few weeks ago, mainly because i’ve been stuck with adsense integration at work and wanted to play a bit. interesting ads they show based on the randomness of my posts.
for you legions of adblock-running visitors here’s the titles of the current ads:
- HD endoscopy
- see sexy singles
- fallout 2
- fallout 3 – game
- stock video at pond5.com
it kind of reminds me of the amazon recommendations i get, based on a unique mixture of things i’m actually interested in, random articles friends send me (most along the lines of “holy shit, you’ll never guess what i found on amazon”), stuff i look up for giving away to friend/family/<insert-random-interest-group-here> and some strange interpolations amazon comes up with.
baking for geeks
make yourself some pixel cookies … (no image as that would spoil the fun)
started working on a theme …
with wordpress 2.7 i figured i could use a change of the look and feel of this blog. i stumbled across the crybook theme by kai loon, but i wanted to keep the dark look and play around a bit. so i just started customizing it … ending up with a work in progress called the darkbook.
let’s see where this will take me.
this is probably where you expected to find wise and cracking words about the deeper meaning of this website. truth be told, there is none. except maybe that everybody seems to have a blog these days. go with the flow, stay with the herd, our safety is in numbers.
