Be afraid, be very afraid.
[Removed background: who’s interested in seeing a laptop in the background anyways?]
I ordered a custom made cake for Ulf’s birthday. It’s Ulf in his juggling outfit - all black - plus some juggling objects: a club, a ball, and a ring.
I think he liked it. :)
Sometimes, it’s just delightful to have a look at the newspaper over lunch.
Seen in The Times on 24 April 2008:
“Is this too rude to put in The Times? It is the new logo of the Office of Government Commerce, an offshoot of the Treasury. It cost £14,000, but we suspect that nobody thought about how it might look when turned 90 degrees to the right.”
As you may notice, Oxford would conveniently be reachable from Rostock within less than an hour…
Yes, it’s true. We got the Best Paper Award at FMCAD 2007. My presentation went well, too, I think. Yey!
You know what real randomness is?
Going to a recruitment event, and coming home with a Nintendo Wii.
I guess those 1 1/2 hours were worth it after all...
Yes, it’s true, I’ve set up yet another two website. Do I feel ashamed? Actually, no. Is that bad? Maybe…
This time it’s all about origami.
The first one is on the videos I’ve made so far, plus pictures and stuff like that. Check it out at http://www.happyfolding.com - subtle name, isn’t it? Well, at least it doesn’t say origami in it!
Yes, I was in Salzburg! This is me in front of "Schloß Mirabell". By the way, the conference, and my talk went well. And believe it or not: I went to almost all the talks (I skipped the last two on the last day) instead of just playing tourist!
As posted earlier, I got a MacBook at work and have been trying it out for some time now. Overall I find it very nice and convenient, although the user interface does require some getting used to. However, some of the details can be very frustrating.
This weekend I was at the 40th Anniversary BOS Convention in Cambridge. Let me tell you - it was great!
You can see photos of some models that were displayed, a video including short interviews with reknown origamiists, and Rikki Donachie folding a Kawasaki rose one-handed.
I’ve got more video material, but I’m not sure whether I’ll make more videos.
