A match runs for at least 90 minutes, there is most likely 22 players on the field, the grass is mostly green - and who knows who wins? I don’t. It’s this season again: it’s the european football championship..

There’s of course again old habbits popping up: people wearing funny hats, singing stupid songs, TVs everywhere. And also I have my re-occuring habit: every 2-4 years I feel the urge of re-publishing my good old football field wallpaper. Please feel free to re-load it..:]

And here’ the download page for the trickot shirt icon collection - not 100% up to date, but most of the shirts and teams are still the same - or at least similar..

First I wanted to call this post “Merkel’s Mad Men” – but that won’t suit either: nor the the top 10 lost ministers, that had to leave their political position in the past months, nor the greatest american TV series about this New York advertising agency.

Anyways. So in the past months the german government, or Angela Merkel if you like, has lost even more than ten top position politicians. To pay a bit respect to this ongoing situation I have compiled a top ten list. First I’ll just post the names, later I’ll be adding the individual resignation reasons.

Here we go:

1: Christian Wulff, Ex-President
2: Horst Köhler, Ex-President
3: Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg, Ex-Minister of Defence
4: Franz Josef Jung, Ex-Minister of Defence
5: Günther Oettinger, Ex-Governor of Baden-Württemberg
6: Roland Koch, Ex-Governor of Hessen
7: Jürgen Rüttgers, Ex-Governor of Nordrhein-Westfalen
8: Ole von Beust, Ex-Governor of Hamburg
9: Peter Müller, Ex-Governor of Saarland
10: Axel Weber, Ex-CEO/President of the German Central Bank (Bundesbank)

…to be continued..=)

There is nonsense and there’s nonsense - but the recent trend across Australia, Europe and the USA to ban the bulb is just plain nonsense. At least from my point of view. Rubbish.

First of all it the bulb ban hurts, when you look at it from a design point of view. An almost perfect object, form and fuction going along hand in hand, few cheap resources needed, cheap and easy in production, an easy player when it comes to recycling: some glas, some metal, something isolating in between - nothing much to fuzz about.The official reason for the ban of the bulb is actually its greatest unexpected advantage: light and warmth where you need it - when you need it - both at the same time - instantly. When the family gathers for dinner, the dinner table lamp is switched on, the bulb instantly emits light and warmth. Just like is ancient times, when the clan gathered around the fire place.And hat are we beeing offered instead? Supposedly more efficient, effective, but cold neon light bulbs, packed with semi-hightec components — an over-prized piece of hazardous waste!

Basically I have nothing against neon light - for every task one should always look for the best solution - and there are many tasks neon is currently probably the best choice: hospital corridors, construction sites, street lights — all situations where you just need flat and cold light and emission of heat is not really helping - and therefore a plain waste of energy.

At this point I should probably mention that I don’t need to have bulbs everywhere either - actually where I live we have mostly neon bulbs - sinces ages. But once we have a lamp embracing the bulb, we would of course want to use a bulb. Because good/intelligent design is more important than bad/stupid laws.
