This is Berlin. At night. From Space.

August 31, 2012 by Jonathan

Berlin at night

Amazing photo of Berlin by night from the European Space Agency photostream on flickr. ESA astronaut André Kuipers took it from the International Space Station (ISS). Check out the original resolution to see all the detail.

But what struck me most: After 23 years, the city is still visibly divided between West and East: by the different colours of the streetlights. In the former western part more greenish and in the eastern parts more orangy.  I’d never noticed this while walking on the streets.

Recent Listening: Koa Überraschung ist eine Überraschung.

April 24, 2012 by Jonathan

Ein neues Album von Wolfgang Ambros? Ach nein, würde mich eigentlich kalt lassen. Wäre da nicht „Koa Überraschung“ dieses kleine, aber feine Cover von Radiohead’s „No Surprises“. Ja, so ist es: Wolfgang Ambros covert Radiohead und er kommt damit durch.

Wer Ambros’ Version hört, kann kaum glauben, dass Thom Yorke vor seinem geistigen Auge nicht einen vor einer Wiener Kleingärtner-Siedlung abgestellten Wagen ausmalte, der leise vor sich tuckert, während er sich langsam mit den von einem Staubsaugerschlauch umgeleiteten Abgasen auffüllt.

    Kid observes Fibonacci-patterns in oak trees, wonders whether it might be connected to efficient photosynthesis. Applies patterns to photovoltaic installation, turns out 50% more effective especially in winter. Makes you kind of wonder which other obvious dots we aren't connecting.

    Wie ging der Spruch? Wer jung ist und nicht links, hat kein Herz, wer alt ist und nicht rechts hat kein Hirn. Die Wahrheit ist, dass man nur ein gutes (Selbst)täuschungsmanöver ausführt, um Moral und Solidarität über Bord zu werfen.
