Hamburger Taubenzüchter Verein
Heute war der zweite Teil der Mitgliederversammlung des HSV, auf der es u.a. um die Anträge zur Fernwahl und Verkleinerung des Aufsichtsrats gehen sollte und ging. Meine Meinung dazu schreibe ich vielleicht später auf, aber vorher möchte ich etwas anderes, viel grundlegenderes festhalten:
Zu Höchstzeiten waren heute um die 580 stimmberechtigte Mitglieder anwesend. Der Verein hat insgesamt 71.000...

Great post about working conditions in China
The last two paragraphs hit the nail on the head in my opinion:
Yeah, conditions for factory workers in China are pretty much bad across the board. Yeah, Foxconn is probably better than some of its competitors, and Apple is better than some other companies about taking responsibility for its supply chain. But tell me you have nearly $100 billion in cash and liquid assets on hand and you know...

Digital packrat
I was making some updates to my iTunes library when my eyes somehow landed on the status bar at the bottom, where it shows you how much content you have in your library. The amount of content I have amassed over the years is kind of stunning (and also a good symbol of my OCD tendencies).
So, what do these numbers look like?
Music: 4,304 songs, total playing time of 12 days, 9 hours, 10 minutes...

How the internet works
In response to a bill currently discussed by the US Congress, this article was written, its main point being the willful (and gleeful) ignorance of the people voting on this bill. It’s a good read if you want to know how far removed politicians have become from reality (not just in the US).
The article includes a video explaining how the internet came to be and how DNS works. It’s a...

Pan Am
I like Pan Am. The TV series, I mean. The stewardesses are nice to look at (except the French one, who doesn’t do anything for me either way) and it’s completely meaningless. You could turn off the sound while watching and wouldn’t really miss anything. Or you could fall asleep at the beginning of an episode, wake up halfway through and still understand everything that’s...
