Why do we call them phones if we use them only five percent of the time for talking?

Today, I would like to point to two blogs that could be interesting for nerds and academics alike. Simon and Jörg, two of my fellow students of Information Systems, joined the university’s Chair of Practical Computer Science as research assistants. While writing their diploma theses, both of them started blogging.

Simon Harrer’s blog covers productivity and software development.
Jörg Lenhard has some LaTeX tips and academia insights for you.

This weekend, I went all the way to Hamburg in order to see the only gig by The Frames in Germany. Let me tell you, every single kilometre was absolutely worth it: Glen and the boys played about two hours of awesome, hand-made, emotional rock music. Fitzcarraldo, Revelate, God Bless Mom, Lay Me Down, Seven Day Mile, What Happens When The Heart Just Stops… you name it, they played it (unexpected: Kraftwerk’s Autobahn). And I finally got my hands on their rather obscure, finally re-released debut album Another Love Song. Gee, I wish I could go to Dublin and see one of the four gigs they play in their hometown (1x Olympia Theatre, 1x Vicar Street, 2x Whelan’s); they are all sold-out, though.

Am Wochenende schon was vor? Falls nein, wie wäre es denn hiermit:

Die „Traktor-Freunde John Deere“ laden ein zum Weihnachtsmarkt mit Live-Musik der Blaskapelle Gereuth (ab 18 Uhr) und dem Geracher Mike

Glaubt ihr nicht? Habe ich von einem Flyer zum Weihnachtsmarkt Gerach (20.11.2010) abgeschrieben:

Die einzig offen bleibende Frage: Wer ist der Geracher Mike? Wer opfert seinen Samstagabend für die Wissenschaft? Freiwillige vor!
