Darts, Snooker, Curling are NOT sports

Watching the Winter Olympics has been a thrill a second and it is by far superior entertainment than the Summer Olympics. I admire each and everyone one of the athletes that have taken part in the challenging downhills, the enduring cross country, the elegance and brutality of skating on ice and so much more.

A minor update on the site today with the meebo bar being put across the site. I have been meaning to do this for ages and now that the site is about trying to be more socially orientated, whatever that means, I thought this would be a timely addition to the site.
I’ll post the results of the interactions with the bar as time moves on. I really do wonder what difference it will make to the user (your) experience and if anyone will even use it. It is on the …

Warming up in Berlin – Picture of the week 3

This winter saw a trip back to Berlin, possibly the coldest place on earth that I have ever been thus far. At -15 at night and -8 during the day, Berlin seemed a fairly inhospitable place. For all its charm and chic, Berlin could not fight the piecing cold, leaving the streets emptier than I have ever seen, and those that did brave the weather, scurrying along to the nearest cafe, of which there are plenty.
This image is taken right where the Palast der Republik stood, soon to be …
