The Heisenberg principle
In quantum physics, the Heisenberg principle describes the impossibility to measure both the speed and the place of any particle precisely. The more precise you are on its speed, the less precise you can say where the particle actually is. And vice versa. I discovered today that this also applies to me. My own private […] Read More
Interesting times
‘May you live in interesting times’ is said to be a Chinese curse, that we all have heard at one point or the other. Seeing the protest that have sprung up in Hong Kong over the organization of somewhat free elections promised for 2017, I came to realize that I have ‘escaped’ a few political […] Read More
Liebster Award
Slowly, the blog has been gaining readers. I can see the clicks rise, a little here, a little there, then fall again…. But I can definitely see my followers on Twitter increase a lot lately, and it’s not only people who follow me back, but people that seem to discover me, somehow. It is a great […] Read More
Slow site
It seems that my site is running slow at the moment, especially the picture galleries. Darn! I have no idea why, it started when I updated to the newest WordPress software and the adaptation of the template. I’ll look into it. But I’m no IT expert. So the site might look different in the next […] Read More
Photo session
Selfies suck, generally. Except for the fun factor. But if you want really good pictures of yourself, you just need a real photographer. I met Jean-Luc in Montréal and we did a session at Josée’s place. It was fun, and he made me forget I was posing. Here are a few results. I hope I get […] Read More

1914-2014
While I am traveling around the world, I do realize I miss a lot of things in Europe, which I have deliberately left out of this trip. 3 August 2014 though is a day that I regret not spending on my home continent. It’s the centenary of the German declaration of war on France, hours […] Read More
1000 forms of fear
Have you ever been so mesmerized by a song that you played it all day long in an endless loop? I have, many times, and yesterday was such a day, that I spent walking around Seattle in a bubble created by Sia’s new album 1000 forms of fear. I first heard of Sia when, on […] Read More
Blond Ambition
Totally unrelated, but today, 24 years ago, I was in the Olympic Equestrian Stadium in Munich, to attend my first ever Madonna concert, on 15 July 1990. She was on tour with her legendary Blond Ambition Tour, with the cone bras, corsets, crosses, priests, and a full on masturbation scene on a red bed. It was […] Read More
