Snow in Berlin
One day the streets and dry and bare. Next day …
The Dear Leader’s mouse
So it turns out that the Dear Leader Kim Jong Un uses exactly the same model of roller ball mouse as I do.
The Pink Giant
The “Beast of Beelitz” killed a total of five women, and had a propensity to steal pink lingerie.
Canada mode
In Canada, we must be polite.
G’day!
Egads, this is what happens in Australian mode!
Beelitz-Heilstätten bathroom
These are photos of an old, but once very grand bathroom in Beelitz-Heilstätten, the former military hospital I went to recently.
IFTTT dot kiwi bug
EDIT: The kind folks over at IFTTT fixed it for me 🙂 The folks over at IFTTT.com have a bug. I can no longer use my domain with it since I changed to hellyer.kiwi 🙁 Hopefully they’ll get it fixed soon 🙂
Google awesomeness
Sometimes Google outdoes itself with it’s shear awesomeness. I didn’t even need to click a link to get my answer.
Hiking around Wandlitzsee
I went on a hiking trip around Wandlitzsee, near Berlin. There were some really cool things to see, like mushrooms stuck to a tree, and a tree half chomped to bits by a beaver.
Beelitz-Heilstätten fridges
Need a fridge? In the Beelitz area? Well, just head on over to the Beelitz-Heilstätten (the old military hospital I went on a cycling trip to recently).
Gorinsee by night
This was my view during my bike ride home recently. All I could hear was “Come to the light Ryan! Come to the light!”.
Frozen Karpfenteich
I took these at a small lake a few kilometers from my apartment this evening. Not enough to skate on, but it looks promising if we get a few more frosty evenings.
Beelitz-Heilstätten
I went on a bike trip from Berlin to Beelitz-Heilstätten, an abandoned military hospital where Adolf Hitler was unfortunately repaired after having his ball blown off during World War 1.
This is where I was yesterday
Crazy drones
I got to see some crazy looking drones at the Berlin airshow earlier this year.
Tempelhof heat
Some idiot decided it was a good idea to go test out his new inline skates at 34° C! This was the hottest day of the year so far.
My foot
This is the price you pay for getting some exercise at the weekend! I managed to do this whilst walking for 27 km during a hiking trip just outside of Berlin.
More planes
Some more photos I took at the Berlin airshow earlier in the year …
Hocus pocus solution
I can prove that hocus pocus scammy herbs sold by some dude making a profit in his shop works. Next time you have a cold, just walk into the herb shop, buy ANYTHING (the shit they sell is this good), then go home, follow the instructions on the label, and wait two weeks. I can […]
Luftballons mauerfall
Berlin celebrated 25 years since the Berlin wall fell, by launching 8000 lighted balloons from an 11 km section of where the wall originally lay.
Mountain climbing in Berlin
I cycled up the fierce Teufelsberg mountain in Berlin last night.
Eurofighter
This crazy looking aircraft is the Eurofighter. The most advanced fighter jet currently in use publicly within European air forces. I took these pictures at the Berlin airshow earlier in the year.
My manly slippers
My tootsies were getting cold during the evenings, so I decided to buy some slippers to keep them warm. I decided to get some manly looking ones to impress the ladies. They’re super awesome and super warm 🙂
Nom nom nom
More F16 pictures
Here are some more photos of F16’s at the Berlin airshow earlier in the year.
F16 Fighting Falcon
My bedroom back in the 1980’s was adorned with multiple models of the F16 Fighting Falcon, an American fighter jet which capture my imagination after watching the overly cheesy movie Iron Eagle.
WordCamp Norway
No I haven’t been visiting Oslo recently, but I forgot to post these pictures of the crazy looking statues found in Frogner park in Oslo.
My new apartment :)
I learned a valuable lesson recently. You should never agree to move into a new apartment without seeing it first, no matter how temporary the arrangement may be!
YouTube’s selling videos?
Since when has YouTube been selling movies? Is this news, or did I just stumble across something new? EDIT: I tried buying a movie, but it doesn’t seem to accept any of my normal methods of payment (various Visa cards). So I’m guessing this is some sort of malfunctioning test that YouTube is running.
Home made protein balls
I decided to make homemade protein bars this evening. I mixed up some rolled oats, dried cranberries, vanilla flavoured whey protein and chopped almonds. Then I got some peanuts which i turned into peanut butter and mixed that up with chocolate, honey, almond milk and some apple sauce which I nuked on high for 45 […]
Don’t shop whilst hungry
I was hungry whilst shopping on Amazon.de. A week later, 3.5 kg of peanuts arrive on my doorstep.
WTF Berlin?
One minute it’s sunny, nekminit …
Berlin Mauerweg
I cycled the entire length of the Berlin Wall. 160 km’s later, and I feel a tad wrecked, but it was definitely worth the effort 🙂
Berlin Mauerweg
I decided it was a good idea to cycle the entire length of the Berlin Wall (Berlin Mauerweg). 160 km’s later, and I feel a tad wrecked, but it was definitely worth the effort 🙂
Peacock central!
I went on an awesome hike in Berlin today to Pfaueninsel (Peacock island). It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Random JavaScript question
Solved! Special thanks to @Japh and John Blackbourne for figuring out where I went wrong 🙂 I’m trying to abstract some strings from a JavaScript file, but I can’t get it to work. I’m hoping some kind soul somewhere out there on the interwebz can tell me what stupidly obvious thing I am missing. The […]
Laterjet procedure
Almost three years on, and my shoulder feels great. My left arm will never have a full range of movement, but it is at least stable.
WordPress.com posting
I’m confused as to what the benefit is in having two places to do the same thing is. Why does clicking here: Lead to here: Whereas clicking here: Leads to here.
Abandoned amusement park
I stumbled across an amusement park called “Spreepark” which has been abandoned since 2001.
Messerschmitt Me 262
The Messerschmitt Me 262 was the world’s first fighter jet, and I got see one at the Berlin airshow.

Dresden
My friend Anna and I visted Dresden. I’d heard great things about the architecture in the city and was not disappointed.
Rain!
This is why you should always take wet weather gear! A beautiful hiking trip turned into a sodden set experience at the end.

Some photos from once we reached the highest point of our hiking trip in Sächsische Schweiz.
Flying turtle

Some photos of the beautiful scenery in Sachsen, taken during my recent hiking trip there.
Strausberger hike
I went on an awesome little hike trip in Strausberger, just outside of Berlin.
Crazy choppers
So apparently choppers can be acrobatic, who would’ve thought! I saw these Apache helicopters at the Berlin airshow.
Fat Ryan after running 6 km
I’m fat and out of shape. This is what I end up looking like when I attempt to get rid of the lard by doing an evening run.
Hiking in Sächsische Schweiz
Some more photos from our hiking in trip in Sachsen. These are from the trip up the hill.
