GEZ vs ARD/ZDF
Mal wieder ein sinnloser Kommentar von mir. Auf diesen Artikel bein spon hin.
Auf wenns komisch ist: Ich mag die Öffentlich-Rechtlichen. Ich hasse die GEZ. Aber ich gebe mich sogar mit diesen Idioten ab, nur um den Luxus der Öffentlich-Rechtlichen zu finanzieren. Und auch wenn wir alle immer weniger und weniger Fernsehen und Radio konsumieren, nutzen [...]
iPad – my own, useless opinion
So I bought the iPad last Saturday, and had ample time to fool around with it. Yes, I know, much better writers than myself with much more credibility have written loads of reviews. But whatm do I care. Maybe somebody will like value my opinion nonetheless.
Let’s start with the conclusion : MEH
USA – number two
Und ich bin mal wieder in den USA.
Seit dem 25.03 bin ich wieder in Pittsburgh an der CMU um mein Projekt fertig zu machen. Wenn alles glattläuft können wir in einem Monat sagen, ob jemand den Tag über gestresst war oder nicht. Leider ist Das Projekt so stressig das ich fast gar nicht zu [...]
Ramblings about Society in the 21st century
So, yeah, this happens when i try to get to sleep once earlier than 4 am. I start to think. Weird stuff.
During some recent conversation with some grad students over a pint of beer, we came on the topic of privacy. As a disclaimer, i have to add that i’m normally a great supporter of [...]
How I’m living here
Sitting in a plane moving somewhere over Carolina towards Atlanta and then on to Jacksonville, Florida to meet Alex and our rental, I got some time to spare.
So I’ve been in Pittsburgh for nearly a month now. It’s been different than I expected. I basicly have a “normal” job. I’m just not getting paid. But [...]
New York – City of weirdos
Last weekend, I decided to skip labwork and go for some new expierience. Alex and I had arranged to meet in New York to celebrate her Birthday. However, I went a couple hours early to meet up with Hagen and to check out tkts. It was pretty cool meeting a friend from back home in [...]
Pittsburgh on the Eve of the G20 – a response
Okay, so I just read this article over at the Washington Post (thanks Sudeep!) and have something to say about its subject. First of all, the article is really good and explains Pittsburgh pretty well. And I might just not be in the position to add or critize anything of it due to my limited [...]
Sport, Buses and Sports
Today it’ll like to talk about sport as a recreation, buses and sport as a craze. Hope you’ll bear with me till “the end”.
In difference to German schools, most American colleges and universities are what you call campuses. Everything relativley close together in a space just occupied by the school. But it also means, that [...]
Life in Pittsburgh
So here I am. Half a citizen of this “elite” school. The school is really small (think half the size of FHM or a third of TUM). However, of those 7000 students, 3000 are grads. So everything here breathes RESEARCH.
The school is reaaly new, even for American Standards (think in the 1920, during the great [...]
Pittsburgh – the first days
First of all, i’m sorry it took me so long to post. But two main reasons have stoped me from doing that. First of all, I have no camera to call my own right now. So no picutres. Sorry. Secondly, the first pretty long post I had was lost somewhere between my ipod and this [...]
