Decent pension for Gorbachev

The soviet Union’s last president, Mikhail Gorbachev, receives a modest € 623 state pension a month.

I’m quite confident that he’ll be able to change that, one way or the other.

He now claims the Georgians started the war, blaming America for interfering, while he’s at it.

Ein Volk, ein Reich…

I’m sorry for not elaborating. Too much to do, too little time, but I think the image (digitaly manpipulated by yours truly) sums it all up just nicely – although I have to admit that Heil Hu does sound a little silly (even if the abbreviation remains intact).

A remarkable intellect at large

In reply to my last post, advocating the advantages of having a mobile camera at hand, I might as well post this everyday scene, demonstrating not only said advantage, but my clearly splendid intellect as well.

iPhone’s professional inadequacy

You may call me a late bloomer. At long last, weeks after the hype subsided, here I am, blogging about the iPhone. But I’m not about to join the hallelujah choir, if that’s what you think. Well, of course I’d like to have one, but I have to say that professionally the thingy has very little to offer – for someone like me, anyway.

The Ottoman empire strikes again

All right, so I’m royally pissed off. Our company website has been hacked, you see — by the usual suspects, of course: Turkish hackers. Now, there’s every reason to aplaud Turkey’s attempts at remaining a secular state, as well as the country’s democratic approach, but they remain in the technological stone ages, seemingly unable to get to grips with one of their major problems: Cyber crime.

Hot, hot, hot!

Man, am I hot! In every sense of the word, of course. Well, meteorologically speaking anyway. Last night we had 30 degrees centigrades in the shades (and then some during daytime) — in the land of polar bears (allegedly). Makes you wonder if there’s something to the global warming issue after all, wouldn’t you say?
