Random entries from holiday

Got an English copy of Frank Schätzing’s The Swarm. The best book in ages, highly entertaining and recommended.


I’ve been very satisfied with my current Fuji E550 camera. Despite the small size, the image quality has been remarkable (see: The Most Popular Photos, on Flickr). Also the sound quality on videos shot at clubs or in very loud circumstances has been fantastic. No matter how close to the sound source the camera is, there is no distorted sound on the video. Check some YouTube videos shot with E550.
Anyway, after some years of heavy use, my E550 is soon breaking to pieces. Pixmania provided a nice offer of Fuji model FUJI F31fd, which has gotten pretty good reviews. So, bought a new camera and looking forward to give it a test drive…


Time in Germany is running out and I’m heading to Nizza (or Nice, whatever) tomorrow morning. After five days there, I’m still taking a trip through Germany to Essen. Keith Jarrett is performing there on Monday, the 16th of July.


Last but not least, some music tips. Spushnik shares links to some free-to-download chill-out albums on his Last.fm journal. A one hour chill-out mix “Orion – From Rural To Urban” is also available for download.
While downloading and listening, take a moment and read about “Why We Don’t Care About Live Earth” and Seth’s short but excellent writing “Times a Million”.
