Next milestone in human technology

Beta users of that clunky Oculus Rift freak out. Not that 3D or Stereo-Vision have been so excitingly new in the past 30 to 50 years, but the headlines are (again) full of "Virtual Reality" as the next "Big Thing" in technology. Nothing is real ... so said The Beatles. But maybe reality is much too real these days, so everybody's gonna go virtual.

Back to me island

Because one carnival post is not enough

There have been sooo many people in beautiful or funny costumes so it's been really hard for me to reduce the loads of photos to a good selection. But it still needs a second post for my favourites.

Carnival time - again

A week ago I travelled again to Bremen in North-Germany to visit friends and go for the Bremer Karneval, a pretty big event with around a hundred of samba baterias and street-theatre groups. This years motto has been: "Home?"
