Auf der Suche nach eigentlich etwas ganz anderem stieß ich auf diesen schönen Artikel in der Zeit, den ich nach dem Lesen sofort für mitteilungswürdig hielt.
One of my most favourite scenes of Family Guy. Peter is looking forward to play in a team, he's telling that he never had the pleasure to be part of a team since singing with the "Four Peters"...
At the beginning of december (05. - 10.12.2006), Tuebingen will be the place of a festival about chocolate. It is the first time for the chocolART festival to take place here, while in Perugia, a partner town of Tuebingen, it has a long tradition as annual event.
It will come up with several attractions:
The chocolate mile: chocolatiers will have their stands set up in the Old Town of Tuebingen.
The restaurants will offer a diversified sortiment of food and drinks around cocoa.
There should be a chocolate gala in the LTT, but there's still nothing to find about on their homepage.
The museum of Tuebingen will put an exhibition themed "Not only for the queen..." (this goes back to queen Charlotte of Wuerttemberg, she enjoyed visiting the old Café Walz with its specialities). It will show the sweet parts of Tuebingen's history in regard of the traditions of cafés, confectioneries, and bakeries.
I'm sure, that chocoholics will have enough possibilities to satisfy their addiction.
Some months ago I blogged about the engaging payment of a fee (GEZ) for having a computer with access to the internet. I've got the feeling that at least some polititians in Germany will change their mind on that fee, especially since taking the initiative by the members of the christian democratic party.
On monday I read an article of golem.de, which reports Harry Carstensen, the prime minister of Schleswig-Holstein, to argue against these obscure GEZ fees, too. But the only argument he contributes to the ongoing discussion is the fact, that the public broadcasting services still don't offer their whole program via stream.
Hence, of course, the fees would be ok, if ARD, ZDF and the other ones provided all their stuff on the net . I still miss the point I mentioned in my last blog entry on this topic: what, if I don't want to see all their fucking stuff? If they're afraid I could watch their content, they shall stop providing it on the net!
A few days ago I finally updated the aphorisms from which you can read one each time when loading this site (look at the Fortune-Box on the right side). I still continue gathering funny and/or meaningful quotes, aphorisms, sayings and small extracts of long texts. So if you know some, please feel free to send them to me. This is also a good reason to use the new contact formular accessible via the link on the top of this page .
... von Jürgen Trittin bekam der bayrische Ministerpräsident Edmund Stoiber (diejenigen, die sich ein bisschen wundern, seien hierauf verwiesen):
Wenn Sie von München nach Berlin... in 65 Jahren, dann starten Sie im Grunde genommen, starten Sie Ihre Bundeskarriere, 65 Jahre, schauen Sie sich mal die großen Präsidenten an in London oder sonstwo, Charles de Gaulle in Frankreich oder in, äh, Rom, dann werden Sie feststellen, dass 65 Jahre Sie jederzeit locker in München brauchen um das Kanzleramt zu finden. Wenn Sie vom Wirtschaftsministerium, äh, der Staatkanzlei einsteigen, - das bedeutet natürlich dass im Grunde genommen das Kanzleramt näher an Bayern heranwächst, weil das ja klar ist, weil alle Linien in Bayern zusammenlaufen.
Lieber Herr Stoiber: Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum 65.Geburtstag.
Danke für die Bereicherung des deutschen Sprachschatzes um diesen herrlichen alliterativen Neologismus, David.
Gemeint ist mit diesem Begriff das da, hier bei einem IBM Lenovo ThinkPad:
...there must have been a point in time (I didn't notice it), when Amazon started to expand their eBusiness range on several kinds of drinking and food, as you can see on their english homepage, choosing the category Gourmet Food.
Have a look on the sections Customers who bought this item also bought as well as Product Features on each product page... a little curious to see marketing concepts working for books and other anorganic stuff applied on food.
I would really like to know, if somebody ordered some food via Amazon already, and how it looked like, especially the fresh goods. Five minutes ago, I tried to order two pounds of cheese. But, as I presumed, I couldn't get one. The site tells me:
*** We're sorry. The item can't be shipped to your selected destination. You may either change the shipping adress or delete the item from your order by changing its quantity to 0 and clicking the update button. ***
