[6 days in Berlin] Posts without pictures…
2010/07/07
…suck, basicallly. But I didn’t take the time to take pictures and put them up, and I don’t really know what to take pictures of at the moment. I’m quite busy with gathering the load of impressions at the moment… From a nice party at berghain/panoramabar (even with passing by hundrets of people waiting to get in, because of being on the guestlist—my boss was djing there), going out to a hip gay bar in Kreuzberg (oh la la), to buying bikes in Moabit, shopping at the Alexanderplatz, watching Soccer and having a barbecue at a balcony in Neukölln, spending lunchtime and having lunch in Berlin Mitte, watching even more Soccer in the Kastanienallee/Schönhauser Allee at Prenzlauer Berg, buying an Emission Sticker for my car in Pankow, to having a great barbecue-party on the roof-terasse of our atelier/bureau with lots of people celebrating the successful finish of the previous projects, code-named Grid and Arabia, and meeting lots of nice people again and even more nice people for the first time, too. And thats the balance of 6 days in Berlin. Hope my english doesn’t suck too much, anyway. It’s great here, I like it.

Oh it’s just so nice here! But soon I’ll leave this beautiful place in favour of a big big town… I took this picture recently when walking my parent’s dog out. Note the cattle!
Soccer World Cup 2010 Spreadsheet
2010/06/14
VIEW SPREADSHEET / RESULTS HERE
Oh yes, the worldcup is so much fun! But instead of having just one favourite team, its even more fun to have a favourite team (or even a preferred result) for each and every game! So Alexandra and I decided to bet on each game. We set up a google spreadsheet (google docs are awesome anyway) and a simple rule: 1 Point for guessing right the winner or a draw, 3 Points for getting the result right. We just have to fill in our bets and a cool formula does the rest. Click the image for full-size view and formula.
Die Schönste Handschrift (Calligraphy)
2010/05/25
Cleaning up some old stuff I came across something funny: Way back, when I was still in primary school, I created an 8-page How-To (I called it a »book«) on calligraphy, entitled »Die Schönste Handschrift« (»Most Beautiful Handwriting«).
Funnily enough, the front page was done on the computer, using these awkward squiggly fonts. The handwriting was done with a self-made bamboo-pen (and ink, of course). It deals with different types of fonts and font-stlyes, ornaments and decorations, a number of hints for a nicer writing and features two »Extras« on how to get a crisp line although the pen is blunt, and on bamboo-pen-drawing techniques. Take a look:
