Birthday in Pisa
Whooohoo, I turned a quarter century some days ago. I spent my birthday with my two best friends in the wonderful town of Pisa. One of them is spending an Erasmus semester there and provided the accomodation. Well first of all, the tower is really askew. However somehow all other buildings on that place are perfectly straight. How did they manage to do that? Probably Wikipedia knows, but I am...

OffenerHaushalt: Showing how our government spends... →
This is a product of kind of a German version of Sunlight Labs: A group called Tactical Tools - I think one can argue, whether this is a good name for an Open Data activist group - developed a visualization of the spending of the German federal government. Now the visualization is not totally great, you will at some points see that it is hard to read the text in the boxes, but it’s good,...

A plan of my trip to Italy →
In October I am going to go to Italy to visit some universities or better said some scientists working at those universities. I will be there about 10 days and do a bit of criss-crossing through the north of that beautiful country. First I will fly from Munich to Milano (possibly via Zurich, Vienna or Amsterdam - haven’t bought the tickets yet). I will stay there for a night and visit La...

Title? I need a title!?!
Well, no, not for this post. In fact after a tremendous amount of work with my paper I am now finally able to submit it: The maths is done, everythings written down nicely, it also passed scrutiny by my supervisor and we even decided for a journal. Now today, when I finally was about to write the editors an e-mail submitting my paper, I came up with the glorious thought, that the working title...

Beautiful Words: Jamais Vu →
The opposite of Deja Vu. A sense of encountering something unkown despite being in a familiar place or with intimate friends; it is a form of forgetfulness often found in goldfish or octopi, but also in humans. One is often overcome by a sense of Jamais Vu when one returns home after long and… I never knew that such a word existet. On a rather unrelated topic: The blog has a totally...

Making Sushi (and a cake)
Today my flatmate Anna and I had a cooking and baking session. We decided to have Sushi for lunch. Actually we determined it already yesterday so I went off to buy stuff at a small asian supermarket. As a sidenode: I went by bike to Munich (approx. 20 km) and now I think I should definitely do more sports. You need a pack of roasted seaweed sheets, sushi rice and wasabi paste. We decided for...
