Broken Chair is a monumental sculpture in wood by the Swiss artist Daniel Berset, constructed by the carpenter Louis Genève. It is constructed of 5.5 tons of wood and is 12 metres (39 feet) high.
It depicts a giant chair with a broken leg and stands across the street from the Palace of Nations, in Geneva. It symbolises opposition to land mines and cluster bombs, and acts as a reminder to politicians and others visiting Geneva.
Visually, it's an easy transition, c'mon. It's a leaf with bits missing, chewed by some industrious caterpillar somewhere down the line, but as a result it looks a bit like a broken window. Stained glass, probably.
Thing I'd like to talk about is my new hard drive. I have a new hard drive, a 1TB monolith that has the heft of a concrete block. Every time I pull or save data to this beast (like when I withdraw photos from its metal maw to publish here), a light on the bottom flashes, giving a distinct callback to the Cylons from Battlestar Galactica. In addition, it makes noises. Industrious noises. Any time I pluck a nugget of data, it vibrates momentarily, and you can feel it vibrate through the glass-top desk. It's a mean, angry hard drive, and it always sounds like it's chewing rocks or grunting in distate. I guess that's what you get when you get a full terabyte's worth of storage. Hungry anger.
Standing all alone, broken by time. Will I ever leave a better mark?

"Bruchwald" (the German word could be confused in German as "Broken Forest") is a very common form of wetlands forests in Germany and the Netherlands. This is no Bruchwald, though, but a man-made forest planted in the sandy area of the Maasduinen.
"Bruchwald"
Ich musste das Wortspiel wählen, auch wenn es sich hier nicht um einen Bruchwald handelt, sondern um einen von Menschen angepflanzten Wald in den Maasduinen.
