dottikon, das

ein apostroph, der keiner ist. besonders verbreitet sind dottikons in wortgebilden wie "dieter's kneipe", "susi's nähstübchen" und "mittwoch's geschlossen".

danke an douglas adams / sven böttcher "der tiefere sinn des labenz"

kölner stadtachter 2008

diesmal hätten wir vielleicht ne chance gehabt [nicht letzter zu werden, vielleicht auch nicht vorletzter.....]

hooligan disco

[via: nomoresleep [formely known as republish]

sticker with meaning

DSC00020not just the typical "i'm too lazy/shy to write my tag on the wall so i use stickers" design. a cctv-camera covered by flowers. nice! would like to see more of these.

[location: wuppertal]

podcasts to remember:

the shop mentioned below offers weekly podcasts for new tunes [i for sure listen to the drum and bass genrecast]. there's also a genrecast for 'burners'

why.... stupid?

I tried to buy "andrea doria - bucci bag" at my favorite online music store, beatport that is, and didn't get the tune because of some stupid u.s. american market regulations. I would have spent 2,49 € on that track.
now I can get it on iTunes for 99 cents [or 4 bottle caps frome coke...].
shame on someone for this, mayor deal, mayor record lable etc

more stickers, wuppertal

grower part II

here's a remix of shaggy feat trix and flix [yepp, the eu tournament song] done with the catchy sample of samim's heater:




heatwave comments on the colaboration:
"In fact, when you follow the global trail of samples, remixes and versions that Feel The Rush leaves in its wake, it may be a canny move by UEFA to give the song (and the tournament) as broad an appeal as possible. So we end up with a Caribbean version by a mainstream American star of a Berlin-based producer's smash club hit which sampled a South American folk song and was remixed by a San Francisco house/techno DJ."

stupid [movie-]companies

one night after i watched [rec] i find out that although it's already been released on blue ray [first spanish movie ever] it won't be released in the us...... because sony already has filmed an american remake, which totally looked the same. the building [rental house in barcelona switched to l.a.?], the reporter even wears the same clothes.....

so, blame it on the internet: go and watch the real deal!
or compare for yourself:

and the original trailer for the uk:


oh, you gonna see it again:

podcasts galore


i really enjoy my "old" ipod nano. comes in handy on the trip to/from work everyday and whilst i`m rowing on my erg. for the second one i switched from music albums to podcasts!
german radio station eins live offers some great talkshows, reports etc [all without music due to copyright issues]. here are some choices for you, with my personel remarks:

plan b - talk
with ben becker
[whom i held for quite an arsehole, after havong heard his story i was quite bemused.... nice fellow!]

klubbing - charlotte roche reading from her book 'feuchtgebiete'
for all those readers of quality magazines like prisma and vanity fair [like me, sic!]:
neither will she be doing porn, nor is it "anal frisuren" it's 'anal fissuren' instead [and yes, there is a huge difference between these simmilar sounding words]

there is loads of good stuff, like 'dittsche' comedy show, which i can't stand watchig because it's too close to reality for me but listening is just fun.

and finally, now there's summer in germany, a good australian podcast [besides the bang gang djs], the merrick & rosso & kate richie show from nova 969......

first time

today i really had a "hard" encounter: my first life and in-persona impression of a "breast-enhancement". believe me, it was not that nice to watch!
it looked like someone [it could have been the lady herself] tried to stuff two flattened tennis balls unter an empty cussion.....
impressive but not desirable!

häh?


wirklich ein löbliches anliegen, nazis zu stoppen. aber die initiatoren sollten ihre flyer/aufkleber proof lesen lassen. ansonsten ergeht es wohl mehreren passanten wie mir, die denken "wieso auf den arsch? aufm arsch.... ach: auf-marsch!"

worth buying


after listening the heatwave bloggariddims mix "an england story" over and over again, i finally bought the double cd... an england story, history telling!

bitte was? aus a folgt b?

Zutritt zu Justizgebäuden – Einlasskontrollen bei Rechtsreferendaren
OVG Münster, Beschluss vom 12.02.2007 – 1 A 749/06

VwGO §§ 43, 113 Abs. 1 S. 4, 124 Abs. 2; JAG NW § 30 Abs. 1

1.Der Dienststellenleiter eines Justizgebäudes ist aufgrund seines öffentlich-rechtlichen Hausrechtes befugt, Rechtsreferendare bei den Einlasskontrollen insoweit anders zu behandeln als Richter, Staatsanwälte, Rechtsanwälte oder die übrigen Justizmitarbeiter, wenn er ihnen die Mitführung von Fotohandys untersagt.
2.Es begegnet keinen Bedenken, männliche Rechtsreferendare durch weibliche Justizwachtmeister kontrollieren zu lassen, soweit dabei keine Durchsuchung mit körperlichen Kontakt stattfindet.
3.Bei der auf einvernehmlicher Übergabe beruhenden Ingewahrsamnahme von Gegenständen durch eine Justizbehörde im Rahmen von Einlasskontrollen handelt es sich um eine Variante von Maßnahmen, die in allen sicherheitsrelevanten Bereichen seit langem verbreitet sind und nach den Terroranschlägen des 11. September 2001 aus Grünen äußerster Vorsorge ganz allgemein intensiviert wurden. In der Bevölkerung stoßen derartige Kontrollen schon im Eigeninteresse der Kontrollierten nicht nur auf Duldung, sondern auf breiteste Akzeptanz.
4.Die Eingriffintensität bei bloßen Metalldetektorkontrollen ohne körperliche Durchsuchung liegt im untersten Bereich.
