  • 2 exams down, 1 to go. Time for coffee and some free reading. #
  • Decided to follow the better angels of my nature and to finally read Andrew Gelman: “Red State, Blue State, Rich State, Poor State” #
  • @metaman @pascal @sliteye Vielen Dank für die Glückwünsche. Das beste wisst ihr aber noch gar nicht: habe eben DVD mit restaurierter (…) #
  • @metaman@metaman @pascal @sliteye (…) Fassung von Truffaut’s “La mariée était en noir” gefunden. Life is very good! #
  • @sliteye Hoffe nur die anderen MGM Truffaut DVDs werden ebenfalls überarbeitet und neu aufgelegt. Da gibt es noch einiges zu entdecken :-) #
  • @airwalk Kein Problem. Der Hauptautor hat auch einen sehr guten PoWi Blog: http://bit.ly/9skuw #
  • @airwalk Nebenbei, eben in der Prüfung konnte ich John Elsters “Reason and Rationality” unterbringen. Die Lektüre lohnt sich also :-) #
  • @sliteye Keine Sorge, nach der Abgabe der Arbeit geht alles erstaunlich/erschreckend flott :-) #
  • If this http://tinyurl.com/lqnclv is an indicator “Public Enemies” is gonna be on my Top5 Film-List of 2009 http://tinyurl.com/c7m29e #
  • Just saw http://www.pierrotlefou.de DVD of “La mariée était en noir” by Truffaut: Massive improvement to the old MGM DVD + nice audio commentary. #

  • @pascal At least you got your high-traffic-topic sample :-) #
  • @pascal Nice. You are by now probably the most verbal fan of the book. #
  • Starting 2morrow I have 3 days of free reading. Undecided. Either Elster: “Explaining Social Behavior” or Gelman: “Red State, Blue State…” #
  • Of course I could choose an altogether different path & finally read “Boss Tweed” by Ackerman. Maybe then I’ll understand politics in Mainz. #

  • Today of all days my Espresso macchinetta broke … Ah, well new beginnings :-) #
  • @simoncolumbus Viel Glück! Das wird :-) #
  • @metaman War eher ne entspannte Angelegenheit. Ein paar Leute mit gelben T-Shirts und 50cent Bieren waren zwar unterwegs, aber das war’s. #
  • One exam down, two to go. More importantly though, I has a new Espresso macchinetta! #
  • RT @DigiActive: “is this a twitter revolution?” debate is unnecessary & quite tiring. tech & social media is useful but let’s not lose focus #
  • Thanks @DigiActive truer words were seldom twittered :-) #
  • @simoncolumbus I guess everyone is happy because they found a new toy & it’s shiny and makes strange sounds. Also, if I can talk about … #
  • @simoncolumbus … Twitter I don’t have to engage in a serious debate about Iran. And who wants that if one can play with avatars? :-) #

  • Just back from #Terminator-Salvation: Mixed experience. Narration: #fail Franchise-Restart: Not so much. Design: Great. … #
  • … The film has a great #fallout feeling going (which is never a bad thing). Should also be fun for #peak-oil devotees. #
  • @airwalk Hoffe es hat Dich nicht beim Twittern erwischt und es ist nichts gebrochen :-) Auf alle Fälle gute Besserung! #
  • Listening to Guillermo del Toro always makes me want to write: http://tinyurl.com/olt7wb Now is not the time. Now is not the time. Now is… #

  • Finished @thestrain earlier today: Great rebirth of the vampire-genre. No traces of romanticism or existentialism in these vamps. Instead… #
  • … cold terror. Perfect mix of del Torisms, vampire Folklore, bio-hazard procedurals and sketches of life in post 9/11 New York #the-strain #
  • @jfoppes Thanks for the kind words. It’s great to hear that the guide is helpful :-) #
  • @b_kl Thanks for the notice. E-Mail is on its way. #

  • RT @GreatDismal: It’s news that 10% of users generate 90% of Twitter content? Isn’t it like that everywhere else on the net? #
  • Twitter just became a little bit more like a spime data distribution engine: http://twitterdata.org/ via @bruces #

  • @drbieber Klingt gut. Obwohl “buntes Rauschen” im Englischen dann doch leicht politisch konnotiert sein könnte :-) #frank-luntz-question #
  • This essay by Ricky Jay on audience expectations and reception holds true for every kind of public performance http://tinyurl.com/muqy3q #
  • @drbieber re: #zeit #uehlecke #fail Der Artikel war bisher d wirklich unterirdischste zu d thema. Mal sehen wer d jetzt wieder toppt. #
  • @drbieber re: #rauschen Oder: “Smarties-Noise” bzw. US-konform “Skittles-Noise”? #
  • @_tillwe_ @drbieber Klasse, dann brauchen wir uns bloss eine “Social Media” Farbe rauszusuchen … #
  • @_tillwe_ @drbieber … wobei das dann wohl wieder einen Beitrag zur Begriffs-Begründung braucht :-) #
  • @Oliverheil Das ist wirklich ein schönes Beispiel. Wir sehen halt doch nur, was wir vorher schon kennen :-) #
  • @drbieber Auch “Qualitätsjournalismus” scheint vor Primärbedürfnis-Metamophorik nicht gefeit. Nur gut, dass die 1klassig ausgebildet sind:-) #
