Recently, my digital camera’s display broke, and after that the lense closing mechanism. So I either had the lense closing mechanism. So I either had to buy a new one, or another brokeno buy a new one, or another broken one on Ebay. I decided to give the DIY camera bionics operation a shot.

Attending two friends’ beautiful wedding yesterday, I realised that the Red Hot Chilli Peppers’ “Under The Bridge” isn’t really the most appropriate song to be played right after the rings have been exchanged…

Skriptdoktoring in der Filmklasse der Akademie für Bildende Künste Mainz. Die Größe des Entwurfsbereichs ist leider umgekehrt proportional zum momentanen Budget des allerdings sehr vielversprechenden Projekts… Akademion.

I know it’s a little late for a summary of my trip to the Cannes Film Festival this year. But since I’m still having problems with flickr.com’s mob-logging templates, I thought I should, for once, regale you, my gentle readers, with a nice photo, instead of just another test-post. So here you see me doing [...]

Got myself a new mobile. It’s mostly a walkman, but it’s got two cameras. So there’s a chance I might be using one of them for blogging from time to time. This picture was taken with a Sony Ericsson W880i mobile phone camera.

Gegen Zensur

Hallo flickr.com, ich bin seit 2004 flickr Mitglied und nun zum dritten Mal zahlender Pro-Account Besitzer. Auch wenn mir bewußt ist, daß die deutsche Rechtsprechung für “Forenprovider” problematisch ist – soweit ich verstanden habe wird diese für die restriktiven Eingriffe verantwortlich gemacht – und ich flickr vor allem für “friends & family” Bilder nutze, kann [...]

Die mangelnde Einbindung meines Blogs in der deutschen (trotz der so vielversprechenden Domain…) und – viel wichtiger – regionalen Blogosphäre wurde mir am letzten Freitag mal wieder dramatisch vor Augen geführt.

Haven’t had an English post for almost a week. OK, sure, there were times when I did not update almost a diary for almost a month. But still, given the astonishing amount of German posts that I published this week, I felt an English one was overdue. So here it is. It’s Morning in Mainz. [...]

Schon beim ersten Blick auf dieses Plakat habe ich mich gefragt, warum der Typ vom CDU Wahlplakat eigentlich eine Riesenknarre über der Schulter trägt. Oder eine Abschußvorrichtung für Boden-Luft-Rakteten.

Die “Freien Wähler” versuchen mittels eines überaus kontrastreichen Plakats auf sich aufmerksam zu machen. Graphiker arbeiten ja gerne mit freien Flächen – aber hier sind sie, wie ich finde, einen Schritt zu weit gegangen.

See, I love living in a liberal country. And, personally, I believe that prostitution between consenting adults is a transaction increasing welfare, possibly considerably, so there’s no reason for state interference whatsoever.

There’s only 40,000 of them in Rheinland-Pfalz now, but at least the CDU is on the case: “Jobs: Let’s not to do things by halves”, they say on this campaign poster. Quite right. There should be at least 80,000 kids in need of welfare prgrammes…

Bird Flu Prevention.

Since the H5N1 cases are hitting progressively closer to home, and given the relative scarcity of bird vaccines, some people are coming up with alternative products for bird flu prevention in travelling birds. (via email from a friend).
