Un-Shuffling – the missing feature!

Today I was driving home from the Alps. My iPod was playing random songs from its 60 GigaByte repertoire. Shuffling is a great feature when you are not really sure what you want to listen to… Of course I had to skip quite a few songs. When you carry 60 GigaBytes of mp3s around, obviously [...]

My Blog is finally back up again!

Hi All, To those of you who are still here: A big welcome back! After 2.5 years, I finally got my blog back! A WordPress security hole seemed to have deleted all my posts and I was just too depressed about that to even bother and decided to do nothing about it. The other day [...]

Sandra Wild will become “Musicstar” but will then work in an office ever after

In Switzerland, “Musicstar“, the national version of “American Idol“, “Deutschland sucht den Superstar” or whatever the singing contest casting show is called in your country, is currently on TV.

Peace is not a thing

It is not a thing you could ever produce at any manufacturing site anywhere… Peace is a consequence of freedom and selfunderstanding of societys, aka individuals. Peace is not a thing. You can [...]

This is what the French secret service claims to be sure about. I haven’t found it on the Google News yet, so let’s see what information is [...]

9/11 – Five years later

New York… I was there… It looked like after an atom bomb. All colors were gone… Just grey, black, white… It is hard, if not impossible for someone, who hasn’t been there, her- or himself, to understand how it was.
