A Facebook group I used to be an administrator for was run with a simple democratic approach. A rogue admin tricked us into allowing another admin to join our group, and just after we realised what had occurred, myself and the other elected admin were unexpectedly removed without any consultation with the rest of the […]
Working from my Karpfenteich office today 🙂
This was my office today 🙂 The weather was beautiful. I also tested out my new flippers in the lake. They’re amazeballs! Highspeed swimming with minimal effort 🙂
A debate on Facebook with Mauritius Seegar made me offer my own opinion on the world in 2030. The debate was based on a presentation by Tony Seba in Oslo Norway, where he suggested that all vehicles (or at least most) would be electric and fully automated by 2030. by 2030 all vehicles (cars, buses, […]
I did the Turmwanderweg, a hike in Brandenburg from Bad Freienwalde to Falkenberg. We had great weather, and a nice bunch of people as always 🙂
I organise a lot of events (hiking, biking, skating etc) inside Facebook events. I have always used Facebook, because of course everyone on planet earth is on Facebook. I then moved to Berlin and found out that many (most?) Berliners are petrified of Facebook. This puts me in a bind, as Facebook is excellent for […]
This was my office for today. It was pretty awesome 🙂
Michelle and I visited the Stasi Museum in Lichtenberg, Berlin. The museum is based in the old Stasi head offices.
Photo of me adjusting my camera.
Sometimes when I create an event on meetup.com, the tools menu is present, and sometimes not. Any ideas on why this is the case? I really need access to that, so that I can edit the number of members who can attend. I usually want to cap it at about 70’ish, but today I want it […]
Some photos from a recent hiking trip near Brisetal in Brandenburg.
Some beautiful architecture in Vienna, Austria.
This is an old photo I had lost. It was taken in 2008 and sent to my mum, to show how my capsicum plant was so much better than hers. Photo was taken in 8A 245 Cumberland St, Dunedin.
I’ve entered the world of grown-ups and gotten my first own pad to live in. It feels a little weird having a whole place to myself.
Out with the “proper” camera and in with the GoPro 🙂 I remember seeing these when they first came out. I was super jealous, as I had attempted to make action cameras out of old camera parts before and the quality was nothing like as good as these fancy new GoPro things. Unfortunately their price […]
I travelled with 15 others on a hiking excursion to Jordan. Unfortunately, we had some issues with the police and with visas on crossing the border.
What we eat now vs wild carrots. Intensive cultivation over millenia has had way more effect on our food than genetic engineering has so far.
For the second year in a row, I have headed to Beelitz just south of Berlin by bike, for the beginning the asparagus (spargell) season.
Co-working at Hermann Schulz with the Coding Amigo’s crew.
Six months ago, I set a fitness goal of beating my time in the Oslo Sentrumsløpet 10 km race. A combination of events led to me not beating that time.
Some photos from a recent hiking trip I went on from Schmachtenhagen to Borgsdorf. The photos were taken on my new Mobius C2 action camera.
People always say “how long does that take to grow” and I really had no idea, so I decided to measure it this time 🙂 18 days and I was sick of it.
Some photos from a recent trip to visit the Berlin Dom with Yvette and Michelle.
Here are some photos from a hiking trip I did today from Berlin to Potsdam. The pictures were taken whilst I was testing my new Mobius action camera.
My new Mobius C2 action camera arrived today, so I tested it out with a photo in my living room 🙂
This doesn’t make sense. The radiation emitted directly from the radio in a mobile phone can not cause a measurable heating effect. The only heating would be caused from radiant heat and conduction from the phone. I swear my phone is almost always stone cold. I think the insulating effect from having my wallet in […]
Stretching the heck out of my Achilles tendon before exercise. After a few years of doing this, my Achilles tendon is finally healthy again 🙂
The last time I went abseiling was in 1992. That time didn’t go so well, mostly because we had a silly teacher barking orders at us.
People keep learning how to write code. But that’s just silly. Just copy some of my stuff, remove the license and copyright notice and upload it somewhere and pretend it’s yours. Simple really … Here is the source code, which you can compare to my Disable Emoji’s plugin code. They’re basically the same 😛 <?php […]
How would I go about setting up an intranet, which I could broadcast via WiFi from my laptop? I’d like to sit on planes, trains etc. and broadcast a free WiFi signal which oaded nothing more than a website on my local server. That way I could run a little chat app and chit-chat with […]
Fun day out at the Science Center Berlin, for an exhibit about human mobility.
The Reichstag in Berlin, the current home of the Bundestag (German parliament). The building was built in 1894.
I went on a beautiful hike from a small place called Erpetal in Brandenburg.
The Berlin Festival of Lights is an annual event in which various monuments are lit up with spectacular light displays.
I organised a hike for the Berlin Hikers meetup group. A ton of people came along 🙂
Things just pop into my head man, they’re poppin, ya know like the Hamsters, the usually the hamsters spinning but the hamsters dead, right now the hamster just had a viagra, that mother fuckers runnin’ right. – Marc Lobliner 2015
A big bunch of us headed for a midnight bike ride to Müggelturm, a strange communist era viewing tower on the south eastern edge of Berlin.

I found out that there was an earthquake in Chile just now, when Facebook notified me that a friend was safe. Facebook is awesome sometimes 🙂
My friend Izabella and I headed to Hovedøya island in Oslo fiord during the summer to see the ruins of the Hovedøya Abbey, a Cistercian monastery.
This vegan döner was damned tasty, despite the addition of some weird meat substitute to it.
