Coke light for her.

A salad made out of parsley, lovage, coriander and fresh white cheese for me.

DIY is better

Really.

I was a need of a new sheath for my cards & papers as the old one was a bit worn out after a few years with daily use:

Green canvas is from Kenya, btw.

So I bought this leather wallet today for EUR 25,-

…which doesn’t work for me. One of the reasons I’d come up with my own sheath/wallet is that I only put my cards & papers in there and keep the money somewhere else. So it has to be as slim as possible – which isn’t the case with the new sheath.

After trying the new leather sheath for a minute, I quickly decided to make a new one, similar to the old one. Never change a running system.

Costs: 0,- EUR

old, new & soon-to-be-returned, new + the pile of cards that have to fit in there.

One of the reasons for using this special material is that it actually looks so strange that no one will really want to steal it.

News/Death ratio

I’ve started sharing links to videos and other interesting stuff on Facebook, Twitter and/or Delicious.com and often only use my blog for my own content (partly because I actually dislike reblogging someone else’s content), BUT! Daktari Hans Rosling of gapminder.org is a smart man with an important message:

I sometimes wish proper sanitation would have the same media attention.

How many parts are inside?

Ever wondered what an opened 2.5″ hard disk drive looks like?

Now you know.

This is what happens when you trust that buying a used 60GB 2.5″ HDD will “be enough” to secure your important data.

It failed to work after a year, gave me some headache the other day (managed to recover 99,5% of my data) and has now received its final treatment.

Aus einem Kommentar:

“In einer Gesellschaft, in der Unternehmertum gesellschaftlich mindestens genauso hoch angesehen ist wie Bildung und intellektueller Erfolg, werden vorrangig die Chancen des Internets gesehen (USA, Schweden).

In einer Gesellschaft, in der klassische Bildung das Maß aller Dinge ist und einem Ansehen und Einfluss garantiert, werden vorrangig die negativen Aspekte des Webs hervorgehoben. Wie in Deutschland.”

Genau das denke ich nämlich auch.
