folks, i’ve had a fun week: pascal, one of my old friends from eth was swinging by my place on his world trip. he stayed for 3 days, coming direct from fiji where it had obviously been much warmer than in beautiful silicon valley. anyway, the start worked out kind of well, i punctually picked [...]

hallihallo, finally, i get around to writing another post. a lot has happened since my last one: barack obama seems to be out of reach for hillary, it’s getting sunnier here, my car has not been driven yet and i’m working daily (i think i’m making progress, at leat). some time ago, there was the [...]

yoyo! i’ve bought a car! it’s a huge dodge intrepit with worn-down front wheels and a big trunk. it’s a nice car and i’m looking forward to using it as our vehicle on the roadtrip with deniz and lucas. now the urge is big enough to finally take the california driving exam! i’ll call them [...]

i’ve been promising you pictures for a long time, here’s a bunch: all pictures but the ‘granny’ were taken at rex’s farewell party at the lucas center and our place. the landscape was taken on hoover tower and shows thestanford campus – the second largest of its kind.

hello again, we spent sunday until wednesday afternoon in monterey, which is 2 hours south of stanford. our faculty was giving letures on mri (“current concepts in mri” to mainly practicing radiologists, technicians and physicians. we, as the physicists, were invited too and thus went there for a couple of days. it was basically lectures [...]

hey it’s been two weeks or so since my last entry, sorry, but i’ve been up to so much! justyna came over and severin’s brother, marius, too. they happened to be visiting at the same time independently – similarly to severin’s and my coincidental moving into the same house. nice hosts as we are *rarr* [...]
