The Awesome Year of Twenty Thirteen

The year is over and it’s time for my annual tradition of “what I did this year” in form of a blog post. While I have already shared my TV show consumption of 2013, it’s now time for life, the universe and everything. January usually begins with a week of being far less productive than planned – I should have studied for exams, instead I probably watched some TV shows. But eventually the semester (my third) commenced after its Christmas break, and I started studying for those exams. Which I think was just one exam, and all of it was […]

The Year 2012

Old habits die hard, and though my blog is slowly demising with a record low of 7 blog posts this year, it still deserves its annual year-in-review post. The decrease in blog posts is largely due to my activities on dailyfratze.de – whenever something slightly interesting or mildly life-changing happens, I tend to blog it over there these days. There’s an RSS feed for that, too… January My first BA semester was about to end with two exams. OMG, so much studying! I studied everyday and so much until I was completely bored with the material. Worked perfectly fine. February […]

The Year 2011

As usual, here is my review of this year. It’s been probably the most life-changing year since 2005, because I gave up my job and started university. January After a quiet New Year’s Eve at home with Fantasia movies, we shortly after started thinking about adding a room to our apartment – the attic above our kitchen would made a good addition once renovated. But now, one year later, we still don’t have a sale contract so we mainly use it as storage place for now. We finally got a new oven, after the old one died miserably. I created […]

Five years of daily photos

Today I’m celebrating my fifth anniversary in the participation of dailyfratze.de. I have already blogged about my first anniversary, second anniversary and 1000. picture (with video) (and I’m kinda running out of original things to write about it). I’m very proud that I’ve reached this milestone of 5 years without missing a single photo, and I sure hope I’ll be blogging about the 10 year anniversary too. Goodness, how time flies… I can only repeat myself in saying that I love this close-knit community and the idea behind it. It’s been a pleasure to see it evolve over the past […]

How the carelessness of homo sapiens might restrict them from building spaceships

We, the human race, are constricted to this tiny planet, located in a huge galaxy within an even more inconceivably big universe. The science fictional notion of trying to discover planets still seems like a thing of the far far away future, but will it actually ever happen? The rapid progress of the last hundred years might come to a full stop sooner than we think, because we have exploited our planet to it’s limits. In November 2010 it was officially announced that we’ve reached “peak oil”, meaning that the time where the maximum amount of global petroleum extraction is […]
