The 366 Project for 2012. One post for every day of the year.

36/366 Pick a card, little dudes…

Did my first little bit of busking today. I was waiting for a tram, “wearing my leather“, shades, headphones in and I’m flourishing a deck of Tally-Hos for practice. Out of the corner of my left eye I can see a group of kids on a school trip on the platform, eying the flashiness that [...]

35/366 On pride

Pride is a very strange thing to me. I get the feeling that the word is often misunderstood, or it is used to describe a false or unjustified sense of pride. Even the “right” kind of pride is elusive to me, the man in the mirror being my harshest critic…

34/366 February retrospective

2 entries. And this one is about 6 days late. Do I have to say more? This is hard.  The 366 Project has become the “How close to 366 will he get” Project.

33/366 DTP Production Commentary

Devin+Townsend+press_pic_2

As you might know, I have a raging boner for the musical stylings of Mr. Devin Townsend, especially his latest output through the Devin Townsend Project. The 4 albums, all brilliant, have been re-released in a ridiculously high production value box set, called “Contain Us”. I just got that delivered, and this is the shining [...]

32/366 Being helpful

So Martin and me went to see Red Fang. More on that later. But that was the very first time that I went to the Columbiaclub instead of the Columbiahalle, and the fact that there are two venues with such similar names right next to each other cause much confusion and subsequent amusement that night… [...]

31/366 January retrospective

Entry 31. The one that marks the first month of the little adventure that I have set out to accomplish here. Let’s see how it went. What I do like is that the topics are varied. Nerd stuff, reviews, more journal like texts. It feels like a playground. I also like the fact that the [...]

30/366 Laziness

Ever blog needs it’s “I should blog more” entry, right? Sigh. This is where the learning, the training and the hard part of this little mission is showing through. I have slacked on updating the 366-Project for about 2 weeks and now I have to play catch-up. That means at least 2 posts per day, [...]

28/366 “Pushing Ice” Review

Pushing Ice by Alastair Reynolds (German version here) is one of the most fascinating, interesting and entertaining Hard-SF novels that I have ever read. Captain Bella Lind and the rest of the crew of the starship “Rockhopper” are pushing ice. That is their job and their mindset. Mining icy asteroids and attaching rocket engines to send them [...]

27/366 “The Hunger Games” Review

My roommate gave me “The Hunger Games” as a Christmas gift (German version here). Finished it, and it’s alright. What we have here is a young adult novel that is following the wake of the Twilight novels, in the sense that it takes a fairly normal trope, a teenage girl torn between 2 boys, and [...]
