Dresden.

I've been to Dresden several times in he past, but had no real recollection of how the city and its old district looks. Last time I just had a short bus stop on my way to Prague. So we went and made it a tourist-one-photo-every-3-minutes-day. I had a special interest in the rebuild Frauenkirche church so we attended a beautiful 50minute organ meditation with a short recap of the church's history and architectural highlights at the end.

Before and after the meditation we circled the Old City, visiting the Brühl Terrace at the riverside of the river Elbe, the Cathedral and Royal Palace, the famous wall of the Museum of Transport with the "Procession of Princes", Semper Opera House and the Zwinger.

You can look at an assortment of photos taken by me on my flickr-site.

Create yourself as a Simpsons character.

On the movie's official page you can create your own Simpsons-universe characters, like I did before with the South Park-generator (see on the right) or with the Miis on Nintendo's Wii.

Picture of the Week.

I know - I've been absent from this blog for a month, and I am apologizing with this little picture I took today. Out of the blue an entire swarm of little ducks, lead by their mother, walked through our garden, chirping along the way.

New PC & injury.

Two days ago, as I was working on the chassis for my new computer components (breaking out a front cover to make room for a drive) I jolted my left indexfinger onto one of the drive tracks and the four times stiched result can be seen here (image is not for the faint hearted). While my skin is recovering the new machine is set up and running - try working within a chassis with 1.5 hands, it's frustrating.

Note: Always use a screwdriver to remove front panel, not bare hands.
