Do i really have to be the first one to see things?

... I don’t need to see it first.  If it’s good enough and relevant to me it will find its way to me.  That’s just the way the modern Web works.   Does it really matter if you saw Bush wipe his hand on Clinton before your buddy?  I find the “LOOK WHAT I FOUND FIRST” mentality quite irritating. ...

I'm having similar thoughts lately. Do i really have to be the first one to see things and share them? They will find their way to me anyway, right? Could extinguish a lot stress and make life easier approaching it that way...

we feel fine: one of my old selfies in this book

I'm quite proud. one of my old self-portraits is in this book.
they found it at flickr, it's cc-licensed and they asked me politely to use the pic, the text is not mine, but i said it's okay, for the sense of the book.

if you wanna buy it - you can use these links to amazon.de and amazon.com
I think i might get some cents then through the amazon partners affiliate program.

more pictures from other people in this book at flickr:

it's also at ipernity.

double-fail?

I usually don't like to choose the word "fail" cause it's used too often by everyone when they simply don't like something that happens, no matter if it's a minor mistakes by someone or a technical error. Not everything is a fail. Telling someone he failed is an offense in my opinion.Anyway... i thought this picture was fun. :)

tumblr vs. posterous?! my thoughts in a nutshell

mhm, i hope i will find time to add more comments here or there. some of it is plain bullshit in my opinion, some things you cannot compare - tumblr is huge because there's a lot of porn and teenie content, because it's easy to reblog, because it's older, because people use it to communicate like others do on twitter or facebook, not within comments (like here) but with a new entry (weird) because... because.

not well designed? did you see that it's up to you to change the template? just like tumblr. "simple plain white" design doesn't mean bad design. posterous is about content (!) and simplicity ... i really like it, this is why i didn't change my template so far. I like the one Garry made.

the only thing that posterous doesn't have is automatic import (via RSS etc) - but it works the other way round, you send from posterous to the other sites. Like i say you cannot compare the two in every aspect.

Probably find time to go into this a little more later.

A tribute to MJ (free song)

very nice (free) song

p.diddy spread it on twitter yesterday.

some personal words:

his death has been a hype topic on twitter and elsewhere since it was made public and some people started making fun of it or got upset by the mass of tweets concerning the topic. i do not understand this. yes every hype topic is disturbing for some in their timeline (tv shows, polititcs ,... ) but you cannot pretend that this is not important to talk about this for some people that at least want to say goodbye or something - show a little respect in a way. We are all human, we have a social core, some more, some less. if you don't want to read it keep your twitter clients closed or unfollow then follow back. I do think this has something to do with respect- also for those who tweet about it. Kind of "being part of it", some people probably feel better when they know and realize that they are not alone with their emotions and thoughts - generally or in this case. yes, most of all the people didn't know MJ in person but they can still have feelings for him or his music and about his death now. I don't think it's just hype. Twitter is communication, communication means good and bad, ups and downs, not always funny, not always rational - we are human, right?

Michael Jacksons music and the rumors and stories about his life have been part of my childhood and teenage years and until now. I am not a super-fan or something but i liked his music and what effect it had on the music and dance world. I was curious about the planned final tour that was about to begin in a few days... He was a crazy guy in ways i like and in some i don't understand and don't really know much about. But so be it, i do wanna show respect and say i was shocked by the news. Understand it or not... 

Once more : Rest in peace

 

the garden this weekend

fruit is growing (raspberries, red and black currants, blackberries)
one side is now fully overgrown, i wish it was the other side ;))
the lawn is a mess, but i got used to it (bad ground and nothing grows anymore where luke peed)
the pool is okay and the kids have a lot of fun in it, even though it is out of shape and looks like it's going to explode soon.
oh and yes BBQ of course, but no pics, just joy ;P
