I was on a scrum master certification over the last two days, lead by Joseph Pelrine, and beside the enormous amount of knowledge on Scrum and the not lower amount of anecdotes and stories he experienced with [insert famous IT company here], he came out with one particular interesting hypothesis:
"Doing ...

Its official. I'm becoming a vegetarian. Since three or so weeks I have lowered my meat consumption to almost zero now. It was easier than I first anticipated. Being a "carnivore" for more than two decades makes you know every possible taste of meat and sausage, so I actually don't ...

Ich bin am 12. Juni 2010 auf dem LinuxTag auf dem Berliner Messegelände, vielleicht läuft man sich ja über den Weg? Falls ich nicht schon durch meine Statur auffalle, sollte man einfach nach einem Typen mit einem weißen T-Shirt mit monotone-Logo Ausschau halten... ;)

Das kam gerade über den Critical Mass-Verteiler in Leipzig:
.... und plötzlich werden von irgendwo her mit Erde gefüllte Badewannen im Uni-Innenhof auftauchen und die herbeiströmenden Menschen können nach Lust und Laune einen Grashalm, eine Blume, einen Samen hineinsplanzen ...
Wann? Do., 3. Juni, 11.00 Uhr
Wo? Innenhof des Campusneubaus
Mitbringen? Blumen, Pflanzen, ...

I'm watching the climate conference in Copenhagen with great anger, mostly because I'm just feeling confirmed that the manhood is simply stupid. Not individuals on their own, but if they're organized and have to go into the one, the only right direction, they're completly dumb. I mean, how many homeless, ...

Am vergangenen Wochenende war ich mal wieder unterwegs in meiner alten Heimat Eisenach, ja genau dem Eisenach, wo einige Tausend Beschäftigte um den Ausgang des Bieterwettstreits um Opel bangen.
Besonders erschrocken hat mich hier die breite Plakatierung von NPD und REP auf fast allen Ausfallstraßen und vor allem auch in Innenstadt-/ ...

Germany's next election day lies still quite a bit in the future (sometime in September), but the discussion about "Politikverdrossenheit" (disenchanted with politics) has already started in the media. Today I was proven right (German, automated translation) that my "Politikverdrossenheit" is actually not based on a lack of interest on ...

I visited my grandparents last sunday and it was a really awful experience. My grandfather, 86yrs old, is sickened with something between dementia and Alzheimer's disease, and his condition degrades from day to day. If I remember him from my visit in late spring 2008, where he was, as usual, ...

I was recently asked how to read encrypted emails securely in some untrusted environment via webmail. Imagine you're sitting on someone else' computer and absolutely need to check your inbox for this one encrypted email which contains a password without which you can't continue. Or you're in some internet cafe ...

I wanna shake
I wanna wind out
I wanna leave
This mind and shout
I've lived
All this life
Like an ocean
In disguise
I don't live for
Ever
You can't keep
Me here
I wanna race
With the sundown
I want a last breath

The bad feelings
It's just me
I won't wait
For answers
You can't keep
Me here
I wanna rise
And say goodnight
Wanna take
A look on the ...
