Live at the Chancelor Duel

Germany’s TV stations distribute the live-feed of the Chancelor Schröder and Candidate Merkel on the web. This is a must-see for anybody who’s being interested in the upcoming elections on September 18th. Until now, both politicians do not offer any useful solution to the problems from which the country is suffering. If at least one […]

Query: Loonatics

To be honest, I don’t understand why Technorati’s Top Searches for the last hour contains the word „Loonatics“ – what is this all about? Are people just mad? Does the blogosphere evolve into nonsense? And do I have nothing else to do? Now I’m tagging that strange word on my own, and if that’s not […]

Seperating the MikeSchnoor.com

Two weeks after relaunching the MikeSchnoor.com, this rather tasteful fresh look of yellow-orange within a blue border has established itself among the users and of course inside of my mind.

In a recent live fundraiser tv-feed for the victims of the Hurricane Katrina, the recent winner of the MTV Video Music Awards Kanye West said the following: George Bush doesn’t care about black people! – and co-moderator Mike Myers‘ face was priceless.

Survive a fall from 35,000 Feet

In the modern world, everybody will sooner or later be faced with the idea of flying inside an airplane. These planes crash or explode, and the number of survivors is usually around zero. Let’s say your jet blows apart at 35,000 feet. You exit the aircraft, and you begin to descend independently. Now what? If […]

International Hatred: USA vs. Germany

A few days ago, German Minister of the Environment Jürgen Tritten explained his harsh opinion on the rather delicate matter of the Hurricane Katrina in the Frankfurter Rundschau: Original Der amerikanische Präsident verschließt die Augen vor den wirtschaftlichen und menschlichen Schäden, die seinem Land und der Weltwirtschaft durch Naturkatastrophen wie „Katrina“, also durch unterlassenen Klimaschutz, […]

Technorati Downtime

Did anyone notice it, too? After my resumee on the latent Digg.com service, I do wonder what happened to my certainly beloved research tool Technorati?
