Grafitti in U-Bahn

Almost looks like its commissioned but I like it. Just attended a talk at CCC on gsm network with running basestation. The hacker conference continues.

CCC

Hackers conference. Currently attending the Hackerspaces talk. Jacob Appelbaum is representing San Francisco's Noisebridge that I was part of initiating and shaping. Its cool being here in Berlin again. The picture is from Alexanderplatz and shows the Weltuhr - worldclock.

God Jul!

Happy Seasons!

I'm using the Swedish term and the american PC term. None of which have religious connotations. As Jul predates the xmas thing. In America our Scandinavian tradituions are called pagan. Growing up in Sweden we're told they are Christian. The truth is that most are just older traditions and culture predating Christianity. I prefer to use the term Jul.

God Jul!

Jingle Bell

I'm taking a small rest in a park. I heqar a party nearby singing xmas carols. There is a van here from www.youthofthestreet.com.au. Cockroaches about 4cm long roam around on the pavement. It is a warm nite. Actually every night is about the same temp nowadays. Don't bring a jacket! Homeless ppl are being served. The photo is taken in another park. The Hyde Park. I took it some weeks ago. On a warm summer day. There is a guard at the tree 24h.

Partytime

Arriving at our bosses birthdayparty we did in a water taxi from Darling Harbour. That felt like style. It was also fun that it was unexpected. Whenever you get to visit such mansions with beatiful view, with its own jetty etc, naturally you think you want that too. Wouldn't it be nice.

Yes. It would. But having to host parties because you have the perfect house may become tiresome. At least for me.  My place doesn't have waterviews, but its wqalking distance to work. Have food nearby and good public transport for more distant places.

Still nice party. Nice house. It would be nice to live in amansion like ...

They are smal like ants and I can squish them....

Finally!

"The Sydney firebrigade closed down the Hungry Jacks [oz name for Burger King] food chain because of the danger its food poses to the general public.

Indian classical music

A friend invited me to his concert. This was very much a new experience! The way the violin is held and played, as well as peoples participation during the concert by a very distinctive way of counting the rhytm with the right arm and clapping it to the leg accordingly. I really enjoyed the Sanscrit singing. It is such a beatutiful language, sound very much like a chant.

Now my worldly worries are over!

Hey, there is Chinese Mountains in my cup!

That's what's happening when I drink espresso.

It helps adding a photo.

Chess in Hyde Park

This made me think of Daniel Johansson who studied in Linköping he played chess all the time. Now with the power of internet we'll see how long before he reads this and send me an email or responds!

Liveability

Sydney is among the top 10. No US city in sight. Now I have to say that I did enjoy Vancouver but it does get cold there.

Lick-her Shop

It seems that places that have license are called hotels. These most often have no rooms for rent. They have at least a bar, and a bottle-shop, sometimes food, often disco on the second floor. With San Francisco measures these places are humongous.

Getting there slowly

Klippan was first.
