gerade wenn es so richtig nach Herbst aussieht (siehe lincnic.com) und ich fast schon meine Sommersachen auf den Dachboden bringen will, kommt der Sommer noch mal raus. Dieses Mal aber in seiner mitteleuropäischen Form: angenehme 30 Grad, trockene Luft und kühle Nächte. Nicht dass mich die tropische Luftfeuchtigkeit in den vergangene Monaten gestört hätte, aber das hier ist doch ein bisschen heimatlicher. Heimatsnostalgie (Heimweh wäre ein zu starkes Wort) schein auch sonst das Thema meines derzeitigen Lebens zu sein. (more…)

Hey everyone, this is my first blog post written and posted from my iPhone. In case you’re wondering about the subject line, I just upgraded and pwned my iPhone to the new 2.1 software. This allows me to install applications from the itunes app store, one of which is this neat wordpress app. So there you have it. I can even post a pic from my phone and attach it to the post. My only gripe about this application is that there’s no way to add captions to the pics. Oh well can’t have it all I guess. I really don’t have an excuse for not updating our site.

Update: Sept 29, 08

After having a few weeks to use 2.1 I have to say that I enjoyed my 1.1.4  experience much better. 2.1 feels sluggish and the app store only sucks money from my wallet for semi-useful toys. Overall, the best feature in my opinion is the apple remote. Period. Here’s a list of things I’d like to see fixed:

• Mail Search – I get like 10 mails a day and if I need to check something I got last week.. forget about it.
• Random safari crashes
• Sometimes the keyboard is laggy in safari
• Not a fix but lets get the final release for VLC for iPhone public
• Application / Menu load time is noticeably sluggish, lets speed that up
• Cut n Paste would be nice
• Why do i need mobileme to do sync over the air?
  

From Spring to Summer to Fall – and I don´t wanna think about the cold season that comes after that. For now, I am excited that my second favourite season is starting. The sun stays still warm, the air gets refreshing. Monotonous green turns into warmer shades of yellow and red and brighten up lazy grey days.

This year more than ever before I can feel the seasonal changes in my body, in every pore. (more…)

One of the uncountable reasons I love Lincoln so much is because he can make me smile with these simple, but unexpected comments. It doesn´t take him many or fancy words to be creative with language and express thoughts in such an adorable way: (more…)

“Jawoll, ihr blöden Einwanderer, die ihr hier in das heilige Land rein wollt, haut bloß alle wieder ab. Wir brauchen eure Qualifikationen hier nicht, am Ende bekommt ihr noch einen Job und wollt womöglich auch noch brav Steuern zahlen! So was können wir hier gar nicht brauchen.” (more…)

Was browsing through my blogs and found an interesting article I thought you all might be interested in: Massachusetts based bioplastics company Metabolix has devised what it hopes is an efficient way to manufacture its product: growing grass, harvesting plastic. So basically that means that they have figured out a way to grow bioplastics in grass. Hopefully this will bring down the price of current bio-plastics and find its way into every supermarket where it will replace traditional plastic bags. My only hope that bio-plastic decomposes.

For some strange reason, I find this wooden-clad Volkswagon Beetle simply AMAZING and want one! Apparently it took the couple a year to put over 20,000 oak slabs on the car and the best part is the car works perfectly and is street legal. Check the link for eye-candy.
