Usually, Boards tend to acoustically notify you about a forecoming collapse.
The following video shows that a shelf, that has worked fine for 31 years, can
instantly collapse without further notice. In that case, more than 6000 wine
bottles crashed and flooded the market with lots of wine.

I bet you have wondered why it became so silent on my blog where every day
had at least one entry. Well… I had a very sad moment on Tuesday, October
18th when my dad died very surprisingly almost at noon to Tuesday. Therefore
I was in mourning for the last week and decided not to blog for that time.

Have you ever wondered about the strange antennas you can see when you travel from
munich to Zurich via Lindau and are about to reach Buchloe? Well, I also have asked
myself what that strange antenna-buildup is for. A research on Wikipedia finally answered
my question and brought up some interesting information.

This really shocking video comes  from Foshan, China. In midst of a shopping
strip, a two years old girl is walking on the street. The driver of a small van
however did not see the girl or ignored her for whatever reason. He probably
heard a damped thump and stopped…

I hate grey days. They make me somewhat depressive! So here’s some
video stuff for you to sweeten the week’s start although weather appears to
be grey and cold. That’s autumn! The steps to wintertime aren’t far away any-
more. I am interested to see how much snow this year may come down (if any).

Yesterday, Rosiv has shown me impressive videos of lightshow projected on
landmarks. These lightshows mostly try to integrate into the structure well and
thus add a 3D effect on it. On August 19th and 20th 2011 at Georgentor in
Dresden there was the Intel Visibly Smart Experience Lightshow 3D .

So, this is the sunday post of me realizing that Rosiv is back in Munich again. Strange but yet
normal: You really miss good friends when they return to their home. Knowing that it will
take some months until you see them again. Well, the weekend was a real nice change to the
average days and discovering some Geocaches also made some fun although we didn’t…

Although The one day was real short for a tour thru Bern, I decided to show Rosiv
some places I really like about Bern. So our tour mostly went thru the old town of
Bern. Starting at Zytglogge walking down to the Münster then going on to the

October 14th, Munich 5a.m. – What’s so special about this time and date?
Well, Rosiv is waiting for getting his hands on the new iPhone 4S and decided to
get in the waiting line at this time that grew until Rosengraben which means
approx 100 metres of people! (300 upon a blog entry). YIKES!

Barkeeping can be a real hard job especially when you’re serving drinks in a
crowded bar and many people are ordering multiple drinks at once. In the
Martini Bar at Constellation hotel, a barkeeper got an idea how to solve the time
issue and “invented” a good way how to serve multiple drinks in one serve!

When browsing on Wikipedia and reading an article on Palto Alto, CA, I also
stumbled over Logitech who have a headquarter in Palo Alto. So I thought,
hey, why not read about Logitech once in a while. During my reading I noticed,
that in Japan, Loitech seems to be “Logicool” and thought of a plagiarism.

Okay, it’s well-known that Apple has released the iOS5 update today. I hooked
my iPhone to my laptop as well and wanted to apply the update. Nothing special
you think because Apple=Plug it in, switch on and you’re done! Sounds nice but
ain’t always the truth. So here’s my update-odyssey of my iPhone 4 to iOS5…

Turkeys are shy birds… indeed. However one bird, called the “Terrible Tim”
seems to have found a place to live in a domestic environment yet seems to
live the turkey habits such as “pecking-order” and the usual wildlife habits,
turkeys tend to have when in a wildlife areal.

Nothing special, you may say? I agree with you in most times. You see them almost on
every fair, even at parties they appear more and more. So why this blog entry then if
they’re not so special? Since these gingerbread-hearts get manufactured by machine
more and more, all that has to be done, is the sugar-frame and inscript to be applied to it.

…which old witch, the wicked witch. And so on… Well, the song, originally seen
in Naked Gun 2½, is played by a piano player in a bar where Drebin and his
(ex)-spouse(?) are on a drink. The piano player then starts singing the above
mentionned title in a real funny way.

Impossible, you say? Well, seems not. In Switzerland at higher exposed locations, the
temperatures have dropped below zero. Snow fell down under 1000 metres and in some
locations, the fresh snow amount was 70 cm and up. A cold wave from the north brought
polar air to the south over Europe and temperatures have dropped by 15 to 25 °C.

So there I am. 33 years old. Let’s see what the new year will bring to me. At least I will
have a great party this friday. Not only because a good friend of mine is visiting me.
But also DJing is on the plan together with my bro. So there’s a lot of prework to do yet!
Hopefully everything will work out the way I want and my friends will have a good time!

While reading on my favourite news portal again I found something stunning but
also funny. Radar posts. Hated by all car and motorcycle drivers as they mean
only one thing: Loss of money again. In the following image, the police of
Neuchâtel would probably have gaped when they analyzed the pictures shot!

Today I checked out another app on my iPhone. The App, called TimeLapse, is
able to do timelapse-picture-based movies. As I had no actual idea what to
image out and have it rendered to a timelapse movie, I today thought, hey, why
not line-up a sunset movie from home. So I put my iPhone on a safe stand.

It seems Microsoft is in need of a VoIP and Web-telephony specialist. The
purchase attempt of Microsoft to acquire Skype gives much to speculate as
Microsoft itself has a network-based telephony service called Lync (which I
was able to see in action also as it is being tested in our company.)

As of today, Fox has announced that the agreements with the voice-actors

I couldn’t be more happy about this!

The news could not be sadder this time! The Apple-Founder and later inven-
tion genius Steve Jobs has passed away on Wednesday. Just one day after the
2011 October keynote where the new iPhone 4S has been published. Now the
reason is clear why Steve Jobs was not on the keynote event or did show up.

Today I thought to try something new with Cufón. Okay, you already know about
it when you have read my initial post about this: Read earlier post – Using it with
your own handwriting can double the fun! So how to digitize your handwriting?

Today I read a rather shocking news about the most famous comic family.
It seems as if 20th Century Fox is about to turn off the lights in the Simpsons
home forever. Reason for this is that 20 Century Fox stated that production
costs have increased while the series is on deficit. Also the voice actors…

Ouch! This really hurts! Seems as if Samsung now reacts on Apple’s denial to
Samsung’s offer to agree in the lawsuit iPad2 vs Galaxy Tab 10.1
Samsung now tries to stop the sale of the new iPhone 4S unfurled yesterday.
Should Samsung be successful, it could hurt Apple a lot! Target: Christmas sale

Okay, Mozilla Firefox is currently known to be the second Google Chrome
concerning release speed of major releases… While I have just posted that
Firefox 7 is released and 8 is currently in beta status, Mozilla seems to work
on the next version also. The new things? Tablet support! Sounds great!

There are strange tales around with dancing squids after they’ve been served
and frog legs that still tend to move even without body. Unbelievable? I also
thought, that’s total bullsh*t until I saw the following video!
WARNING: People with sensible stomach should not view this!

You know the old 3.5 inch floppy drives? Rather useless today in the time of
USB sticks, SSD and optical disks. However they can still be used for making
music. Not believable, you think? Then watch the following movie, that shows
how to play the Star Wars Imerpial March melody!
