Sparks goes murder mystery. Lovestory meets site of crime. – With words like these the fifth novell of Nicholas Sparks can be described. I've read the book and wrote my thoughts about it down.

Yes, this one will be funny for only about 5% of the readers here, myself included (a moment, that means, it is just me ), but that's really great, made my day:

The main station of nuremberg has exactly 23 tracks.

Can you tell me why to hag I'm googling for Gaston for the first time exactly 23 days after the official birthday of him?

My (german) book review of the “Illuminatus”-trilogy was also posted on a twentythird

The second entry of this category was posted on 1.24am: 24-1=23.

Hey, that's real fun!

The category in which this post is released, was created on a friday the twenty third.

The first entry in this category was the twentythird entry in third month of the second year in which I'm blogging.

After I read the “Illuminatus”-Trilogy, I'm constantly crossing the 23 in my daily life, which I found pretty interesting. So in the last days, I was thinking about the quality of the idea of making a new category that expatiates the 23. I'm still not sure, if it's a good idea, but my goodness, this is a weblog, so just do it! (I should consider this sentence more often.)

Well, here it is.

Well, I reminisced about the good old days of childhood in which we had enough time to read comics. So I remembered one of my favourite comic “heros” I had, so I googeled for Gaston, and well: 23 days ago, there was Gastons 50th birthday. There's even a jubilee comic and on the 28th of february the parking was free in brussel and the incoming that came from anyhow payed parking meters, were donated to a childrenhospital. Nice thing.

Well, I notice that I may have adopted a lot of Gastons manner, because I'm often as clumsy/forgetful as he is...

From an email sent by Amazon:

We recommend: Pirates of the Caribbean 2 (Single-DVD)

Recommended, because you buyed or rated the following articles:
* Gilmore Girls - The complete fifth season (6 DVDs)
* Hackers

Relation?

But to stand this, you have to be superhuman in dealing with problems. Poor guy, I feel with you...

...when a design studio thinks, they should “invent” a complex technical device.

In the last months Art.Lebedev has again and again released some small notices about their OLED-Keyboard. The gadget lovers were full of hope and the first mention price of about 200-300 euro would have been okay. But it was foreseeable: The product is officially announced and the price of 1500 dollar will cause that it will disappear very fast.

It's not really a surprise, isn't it?

I'm supposed to be a DHSC-Programmer, according to this test. That's not a new programming language, that's the test result. That means in clear text?

The Fon router are now available for nothing, if you are advertised by another Fonera. I really always wanted to test this whole Fon-thing and I want to spread it, so perhaps there are some nice geeks out there, that want to advertise me?

Very special music is recommended to me often by very special people. And there are album, that are already touching me deepy when I listen to them the first time. Both points apply to the music of Lisa Chappel (Attention, Flash Alarm!), even when she has nothing to with the only known to me Miss Chapel. On her website there's every song of her only album as example, go and listen!

Well, I have to order this album after easter. *notice*

Well, I hacked in the third part of my spam protection experiment. The question is now a little bit different and at the moment it's every time the same question. I'm curious, how the results will be. In the last time it was quite extrem.

And, the correct answer is “milk” of course.

There are albums, that thrill one some time. And there are albums, that one is listening to rarely, but they find the way into the playlist even after months or years. “Inside the Atmosphere” is one of these albums. And every time I take the time to really listen to this album, I'm totally swept of my feet.

I bought the CD in my “pre-blogging-era” so there was no review here yet. But I think the guys of Atmosfear need every kind of propaganda, so I recommend everyone who even rudimentary likes progressive rock or metal to go to their website and having a look to the listening examples. And please do not overlook the “Order CD”-button.

Update: I forgot to mention, that Atmosfear is in the studio in spring to record their second album. I'm curios, how the result will be!

The world women day, would be great to come up something blogable. But there was no idea. Thus just a linking: Tanja fromSpreeblick made my evening with this post.

I pick up, that the 'linking to Spreeblick' is always bringing me into a respectful state. Some kind of angry...

I need it from time to time, and I'm searching for it everytime again: A good generator for PSKs.

But think about it every time: Those keys should only be transfered over unscore nets in distress situations. If you have no other choice, replace some of the characters with some other randomly choosen character!

Paramount has officially made the starting shoot for Star Trek 11. Actually there's nothing really new in the announcement, except the release month was new to me. Of course there are some rumours out, how the roles will be set. The current state of the rumour mill is the following:

• Kirk: Matt Damon
• Spock: Adrien Brody
• McCoy: Gary Sinise
• Scott: James McAvoy
• Sulu: Daniel Dae Kim

I'm thinking (hoping?), that the final list is completely different...
