Men Like Gods

Don’t we all?

“The Sexiest Thing …

… in the entire world is being really smart. And being thoughtful. And being generous. Everything else is crap! (…) Everything around us that we call life was made up by people who were no smarter than you… so build a life, don’t live one. Build one. Find your opportunities and always be sexy.”
— Ashton Kutcher, Teen Choice Awards 2013

That’s what.

How does IT feel?

We have learned lots of acronyms (serp), we have learned scrum.

Moreover, we have learned that Cucumber likes to be fed Gherkin.

We have uttered sentences like “Will Google allow that?” and “I think the button doesn’t mind”. 

Google’s constitution, a button’s feelings, a cucumber’s appetite – there’s nothing you can’t think of that you have to think of these days …

Hashbang History JS

That’s what we were talking about yesterday.
Well, what others talked about animatedly – we listened.

I need a vocab book. Or an exit into a solution space.

Or some-bleeding-edge-analogue-thing else …

Super Trooper

Normally we are not so much into beer, more into chamapgne (and we recently had an awfully good reason to drink some). But this product is worth sharing: “Trooper“, the beer of iron maiden. Bruce Dickinson, Vocalist of the Band took responsibility for the ale. Enjoy on a hot summers day. We do.

WE WANT THAT, GOOGLE. WE’D EVEN PAY FOR THAT.

Glasses? Meh.

Code AM

Oh, the beauty of it all!
For the past few days we’ve been meeting with tech people from several agencies to find the best one for our project.
Although all the talk about Python, PHP and stuff like that gives us a dizzy feeling most of the time we did extract useful information from those meetings.
One visitor who we liked straight away (cool company name, cool pen) told us how he recently met Angela Merkel at some tech oriented thing. He asked her if she – being a physics student in 1980’s GDR – had ever written code herself.
And indeed, she had! Who would have thought!
Someone in our government actually knows what the future will be made of.
Maybe we’ll call her in for a presentation some time.

IT TAKES THIRTEEN TO TWEET!

13 people are credited for “creative” for “The Oreo Blackout Tweet”.

And they probably all got paid. 

I ♥ the internet.

re:publica 2013

We go like…WHAT?!

“Jeder knüpft am eignen Netz,

versucht rauszuholen, was zu holen ist.

Wer denkt da an Frieden? Wer denkt an Shalom?

Wer denkt da an Frieden? Wer denkt an Shalom?”

The Tide Is High

Eben auf dem Digitalkongress. Es ging, unter anderem, darum, dass “das Internet überläuft und dann alles langsamer” werde. (A couple of hours ago at re-publica. There was some panel talk about the internet being overflooded with content and therefore everything is slowing down.)

Außer uns. (We aren’t.)

… WE’RE MOVING ON.
