  • where my (2)π ?

    another t-shirt idea 🙂 they must have put something very strong in that boba milk tea.. i up now for some 30 hours editing away… but fingers crossed, since we have to turn them all in in 24hr.. you know how some people are comfortable living in the 1/[ ] universe? instead of saying “i’d… Continue reading

  • welcoming June!

    hurrrrrahhhhh, back to the office, in good health, and looooovely temperature: The office AC is broken!!! guess who is THRILLED!!!  (though they’re working on getting it back up, boo!) So, some celebratory music is in order! though without one in my head, how about some digging news: Yes, i found where/what N.Stutzmann will be conducting… Continue reading

  • geography 102

    a bit saturated in brain, so how about something fun. i quite proud of it :-), even used a virtual shovel to dig a couple of very important channels. Amazingly, a certain strait is missing! ps- oh, colorscale + contours are in unit [km]. For completeness, i should really put lat/lon contour, but too tired…… Continue reading

  • sticky tune

    be warned, the content (and my fragmented line of thought) is a little disturbing… got this strange tune since yesterday that left me head scratching searching for the source. it has to be from something very recent, but which opera??? “tà tá , tá ta ta tà tá” (if you know a tiny bit of… Continue reading

  • carols

    due largely to our upbringing, we siblings react rather passionately (in various degree) to accidental religious events we found ourselves in, ranging from holding head “sh*t, why the hell am i here??” (me) to “get up, get out, NOW!!” (oldest sister). so, with noël coming to this rather religious oriented country, our phone lines will… Continue reading

  • first for everything

    yes, i’ve done it! first ice hockey game ever! last time i skated on ice was…. hmm, can’t remember. last time on roller-blade, here’s the result.  so, our soccer league is coming to an end (1 more game, not sure when…), winter is coming, and i have always wanted to put on some kind of… Continue reading

  • having fun

    one of the things i enjoy greatly in my young life is visiting friends. i made very very good friends who share much of common interests during graduate study time. Interestingly enough a high concentration of them end up in Europe, particularly in the southern part of Germany. It’s always great to catch up and… Continue reading

  • i hiding

    in the little corner and whispering to the walls a little secret: “bach’s mass in b minor is not for me, what’s wrong with me?”.  last night was the first in a long long time i drifted in a concert. when not drifting i was thinking the whole time i should have trusted my own… Continue reading

  • who are you?

    so, instead of working on my paper, i feel the urge to vent a bit in the blog space. as you might have read, the old place was pretty quick and kind to separate me from their privileged system. first i should clarify it’s not a university that cut me. anyhow, they are known to… Continue reading

  • $@%*&(* separation

    am clearly not in a good mood this noon.  #@!#$(*& old work place totally disconnects me from all access, including access to all my work, @#$*(&?$# .  If you are at a university, when you change job, they give you 1/2 a year to 1 year to access your account.  I mean OF COURSE we… Continue reading
