A Sunday without Autos — at least for part of the day.
June 3rd, 2008 · Comments Off
On Sunday, I took part in some sort of ‘demonstration.’ I am not sure what the purpose or cause was, but it basically consisted of most all the roads (including autobahns) leading into Berlin were closed to autos and opened up to bikes.

May 9th, 2008 · 2 Comments
Pangea Day, the international day of film, begins tomorrow (20:00 in Germany, 10:00 in Alaska). Inspired by Jehane Noujaim, winner of the 2006 TED prize, the idea of Pangea Day is to begin the world togetheer through film. 24 short films in 4 hours. I have read, watched, and heard much about this event now. […]

While Heather was in the shower, the insurance man (their office is directly below my apartment) rings the bell and tells me that water is pouring out of his ceiling!!! The floor of the bathroom was dry, so the house master called the plumber, […]

For my birthday, my co-workers took me bowling yesterday afternoon. I rode my bike there with Paul, Emil, and Finn. The sun was out and I was able to wear the sunglasses I had bought back in October for the first time! The sun was short lived as it actually began to snow while we […]
