While driving through this morning’s -13° cold, I listened to WDR 5‘s Zeitzeichen. Today they featured a story about Charles Dickens that made this morning’s drive that much more enjoyable. When I arrived back at the desk I saw this lovely design on google: Only then did I realise that today is the [...]

This morning I stumbled upon an interesting article on “Wired“: “Great Geek Debates: Disney Princesses vs. Hayao Miyazaki“. Author Erik Wecks ponders the disadvantages of his daughters’ growing up while looking up to Disney princesses as role models. He concludes that the majority of those girls embody a negative self-image for young girls [...]

In early November Krüger had his first self-published book coming out, which compiled stories from his blog, his project Sonic Iceland and even some articles that had previously been published in real newspapers.

For one, I am now maid of honour to the rainbow-cake-birthdaygirl! And I was asked to bake the couple’s wedding cake to which I answered: “Challenge [...]

What was that? You said you wanted to buy me something? My oh my, you shouldn’t… But if you insist: I found some veeeery nice things online. Pretty and useless stuff. Mostly useless.

This one isn’t actually out of an old Leipzig cookbook, but snatched right off a friend’s wife’s blog. When I saw her post my mouth immediately started to water, so I had to try this recipe. After I had thrown the first ingredients into the bowl I noticed that the flour was missing [...]
