"Don't ask whether you can do something, but how to do it." -- Adele Goldberg
Dr. Adele Goldberg is one of the most respected people in the software industry. She worked for the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center for many years and is the cofounder of ParcPlace-Digitalk, a company which produces application development environments for corporate software developers.
Dr. Goldberg has served as president of the ACM and has received numerous awards for her contributions to computing. Along with Alan Kay, Dr. Goldberg developed Smalltalk and wrote much of the documentation. Smalltalk was used to prototype the WIMP (windows, icons, menus, pointers) interface at Xerox Parc, the cornerstone for today's modern graphical user interfaces.

We expected to reach Amsterdam before anyone would be lured into an enclosed room to be felt up by two large men, but this Red Light District special was offered to Kevin free of charge by our friendly airport safety officers. Narrowly avoiding the same fate for doing so, Jake snapped this photo.
Getting through security was the easy part - getting out of RDU in the upcoming thunderstorm would prove more difficult. After four hours at the gate that involved painful smalltalk with one of Kevin's ex-girlfriends and her mom, Jake gorging on all the trail mix packed for the whole trip, and Kevin spending 10 minutes at the water fountain dissolving an Airborne tablet in his mouth, we were invited to cross the rainswept tarmac to board the Cincinatti-bound plane.
A found frame in the office reminds me. It was a smalltalk. On nanotech. I did a live, and unfortunately, unrehearsed demo of the new Nanotex waterproof khakis. I took a glass of water and splashed my waist with vigor to show how it would leave no mark. In a freak instance of fabric folding, the bolus of water hooked into a gaping open pant pocket. The inner pocket lining did not have any Nanotex coating.... So for the entire talk my boxers were soaking wet, but you wouldn’t know it because none of the water could seep through the outer pants fabric. The baggy trousers photo below is post-mishap.
On screen is a Scanning Tunneling Microscope scan of dyads of atoms (carbon monoxide) on a copper surface. We got to play with these during a visit to Don Eigler’s labs at the IBM Almaden Research Center. A room full of equipment interfaces to a PC with a mouse that lets you move atoms around with audible feedback as you drag them across the surface (imagine the copper lattice atoms are bumpy like eggs in a carton).
In this particular example, carbon monoxide is lined up like dominos on the surface. With a flick on one end, they tumble like a child’s cascade. In this case, they are pre-configured to implement a logic circuit (the world’s smallest 3-input sorter). It was 260,000 times smaller than the smallest IC equivalent at the time.
Circuit design experiments were done with regular dominos. The business expense report for dominoes raised some eyebrows at IBM.

First of all, this picture is really not a high-quality image. It was already to dark and the internal flash - you know what i mean, it was a moment of those, when you just think "Oh no!" or maybe "BS".
The story behind is nice and this girls are both beautiful. I took the picture on a evening, once more on the Glühwein-Place (Glühwein is a hot wine with spices, served in christmastime). At the moment, i work close to this place as a security. During a discussion with a friend, i wanted to proof my experience with bodylanguage an these women were the victims. I failed, but that is a other story, i guess, the women felt to comfortable.
After i finished my work, the women were still there and i decided, to confront them with the idea behind the 100-strangers-project. After a little bit of smalltalk with Monika and Susanna (also called Susi or sometimes Alessandra ;) ) i knew just one thing: They dont want to tell me what kind of work they do and what they have learnd. The only two things i know are, that they are coming from a little town in Switzerland, which is called "Schaffhausen" and Susanna has south-italian roots. But i dont care really, the conversation was interesting enough and i already hope, to see them again. Maybe they will tell me more next time. Invited would you be, Monika and Susanna!

AHAH here, which literally means As Hot As Hell. There's nothing to laugh about. So I upload a butterfly to pretend that it's not 11pm and it's impossible to sleep. I'm gonna lie on the pavement as soon as possible!
Resumed my mum's old Rolleireflex. Bringing it to someone who will fix it as soon as possible, or at least try to fix the lenses. Maybe I'll gain a f 1.8 50mm practically for free. I love my mum =D
“Fabricius departs from his signature format, the small, white art magazines, to ‘remix’ an entire magazine itself. The narrative structure is perfectly straightforward: a man, a woman, an orange sofa. Smalltalk over fags and booze (and Jolly Cola), and suddenly all their clothes are off. Party time in pornland. The expected standard effects are distorted by the montage technique, striking a different, perhaps rather more critical note: the fierce, cut-up montages can at times look like fragmented and–quite literally–headless orgi_s of violence.’

A Arles, à l'heure de l'apéro, tandis que les maris sirotent leurs mauresques au Bar des Sports, on s'accoude aussi à l'ombre des étroites ruelles épargnées par la torpeur estivale, à refaire son petit monde provençal...
