seattle

My first time in the States. Seattle is quite a nice city, not too hot (actually pretty cold and rainy), friendly people, and so on. I'm here to attend the American Control Conference starting on Wednesday. I extended my stay by a couple of days to see something from the US. I will miss the first round of the EURO 2008, but Germany is still doing well. So, I hope I can watch the quarter final when I'll be back in England.

indiana jones and the great disappointment

I watched the new Indiana Jones movie last weekend. I was hoping that this one is as good as the first or third of the previous ones, but I was rather disappointed. Aliens, nuclear blasts (in this case totally unnecessary) and a more or less confusing story. Especially the aliens didn't fit at all (to my mind at least).

cambridge beer fest

These days, there is an awesome beer fest going on. I already enjoyed Andechser Spezial Hell and several types of ales (slightly disappointing, though). Good stuff!

back to the bundesliga!

My favorite team, Borussia Mönchengladbach is back in the Bundesliga. After the 7:1 on Sunday, the scored 3:0 against Wiesbaden and are too many points ahead to mess it up. Congratulations!!!! Bayern is waiting :)

fairy godmother

We have a fairy godmother in the lab: When I came back to my desk (after 4 days absence), there were 3 bottles of beer on my desk! I don't know from whom or why, but I was really surprised (in a positive way). I will wait for the fairy godmother to reveal her identity.

spring in cambridge

Coming back from Bruges, I realized that something fundamentally changed: it got warmer, trees are blooming and so on. It's spring, the best season of the year!
