Ich bin sehr beeindruckt von diesem Brief hier:

Ich hoffe sehr, dass Jörg eine Antwort von mindestens einer bekommt. Und vor allen Dingen, dass diese Antwort auch zufriedenstellend für ihn sein wird.

The 2nd and 3rd Advent…

I’m so so sorry, but the last weeks have been so busy that I forgot to post the songs also onto my blog.

Before the 2nd Advent I posted “Joy To The World”, which turned out OK:

And this week (to be more exact, yesterday), I posted the original version of “Silent Night”, which is the German one: “Stille Nacht”

Enjoy and wait for the “grand” finale…

The 1st Advent…

… is not far away, so I have started a new project:
Instead of giving Christmas presents to family and friends, I will give them Advent presents. And what more can I give, if I do not keep it in a small circle, but also share these gifts with the world. So without further a-do:

Wolverine’s powers: If you are very anal you could say that his powers are a healing factor with ridiculous acceleration and retractable claws made of bones (I am well aware of the fact that his entire skeleton is laced with adamantium). But what if you are not that anal? And what if you could actually get mutant powers by the medical achievements of humanity?
Let’s watch:

Fungi, which decimate the numbers of insects in the jungle:

I wonder, when these fungi will have evolved to cut-down mammal populations?

[Update]

Guns have not been developed by humans. Shrimps are far ahead of us…

Berlin… (Part1)

Hong-An — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 09:35:35 +0000

What a city Berlin is. Don’t get me wrong. my heart still belongs to Hamburg. But Berlin has its own vibe, which feels strong, unique and definitely honest. So aside from all the private encounters with friends and fellows from past years, I also wanted to fulfill my childhood dream. Seeing the Brachiosaurus at the Museum fÃ¼r Naturkunde, which happens to be the biggest dinosaur skeleton ever put together. On the next pictures you can see its total height of nearly 14m (46ft) and a single femur of this titan.

Brachiosaurus Brancai

So it was pretty impressive to watch this giant, who dwarfs even its cousins as the Diplodocus or Dicraeosaurus

All in all, it was a good start at the museum, by only entering the first door. Next post will show the remaining photos taken at the museum.

Little things…

I have been lately listening way too much Julia Nunes and PomplaMoose. As their albums are also available at the amazon MP3 store, I got the chance to buy them, without using the iTunes Store.

One of the songs from PomplaMoose that stuck to my head like glue:

They have definitely hit a spot.

Love this song…

Lauren O’Connell, whom I first saw on Julia Nunes youtube-channel, has a cool collab with Nataly Dawn. But see for yourself’s:

You and me…

Post in german:

Oh Gott… wieso habe ich mir grade den Rest der Popstars-Folge angetan? Das “Vorspiel” vor der VerkÃ¼ndung der Jury-Entscheidung. Dieses Triggern von Emotionen bei den Kandidaten fÃ¼r die Einschaltquote.
Ich denke, dass sollte es auch sein was meine subjektive Meinung angeht. Es gibt schon einige gesanglichen Talente, die ich gerne auÃŸerhalb dieser Popstars-Maschinerie hÃ¶ren wÃ¼rde. Ich hoffe nur, dass sie nicht eines Tages an dem aufgebauten Druck zerbrechen werden…
