Hey folks,
just found this awesome clip from some australian fellows over censorship… 😉 Really worth watching!
Take care, Strothi
Hey folks,
just wanted to give you a short overview over my last couple of days. Over the weekend I’ve been in Oldenburg and enjoyed the concert of Matze on Friday, where I did the technic. Fortunately, I had my MacBook with me (alright, I always have it with me…) and could record the whole concert. The concert itself has been simply fantastic and I hope we’ll be able to put up some of the recordings soon. Saturday I was the „Surprise-Guest“ on the birthday party of Imke, which was great as well. On my way back to Berlin I stopped in Bremen and met with Andre, so I really had a great weekend 🙂 When I arrived in Berlin again, Jimmy, a friend of mine from Belfast, came round for a short meeting before I headed over to the Fête de la Musique. Too bad, that it started raining heavily shortly after I arrived at the concert, so I opted for going back home.
Weather brings me to this week: It’s simply awesome! I’m now sitting in a conference room in Brussels at the Greenweek. Now you might say that I don’t really can take much advantage of the eweather and you’re right, but at least the evenings and short breaks give me the possibility to enjoy it 🙂 The conference itself is so far really interesting. The majority of the sessions I attended had great speakers, though content-wise they often do not tell me anything new. Yesterday we watched the awesome movie: The Age of Stupid. It’s really really worth watching and I urge you to go and check it out once it opens in a cinema close by.
Alright, so far so good. Hope you’re enjoying the week and wish you a nice weekend.
Take care, Philip
Hey,
as you might have heard, the law we tried to fight actually passed through the parliament on Thursday 🙁 For quite sometime I was really really depressed, now it’s up to our president (write him over here) who has to sign the document before it can become a law and if he does, I’m sure it’ll fail in front of the Supreme Court. Still, that might take some time and by then the technical structure will be installed and used… All in all, a really bad day for the german republic.
By the way, at the #Sperrwache09, Claudia Roth, Chairwomen of the green party, was there with a crowd of others, gave an interview to RTL and left after less than 30 minutes again. Bearing this in mind, it comes as a big suprise that actually not all members of the green party voted against the law, 15 abstained! Quite embarrassing!
Via Jörg Olaf over at Netzpolitik.org I found out that Professor Dr. Münkler wrote an answer to the many that had critizised him strongly for his stupid remarks (including me). Fefe wrote the best comment on his new article:
Professor Münkler versucht seine Reputation zu retten, nachdem er sie vorgestern mit Nachdruck geshreddert hatte.
The new article doesn’t really makes it better, still lacks any insight into the topic, is quite badly writen from an rethorical point of view and just plain wrong. Be sure to read the comments on the article below!
As already stated, thanks to the green party we know exactly who voted for and who voted against the law. SO CHECK YOUR MEMBER OF PARLIAMENTS RECORD before voting in September!
Ok, enough depressing news for now, tommorrow I’ll bring you a little bit up to date with my regular life, which is less depressing 😉
Have a great weekend,
Take care, Strothi
