Evil. Very evil.

I found the original article at kniebes.de.

Photo walk at the Dortmund-Ems Canal

With the weather today I simply couldn't resist and walked home early along the canal. Unfortunately too early, the sunset was only due in the city, with the usual problems of seeing enough sky between tall buildings. But otherwise the result isn't so unsatisfying. Except that I finally want spring so that a few more colors come into play. Yellow-gray-brown nature is somewhat depressing. ![5-100-100.jpeg][P1] ![6-100-100.jpeg][P2] ![7-100-100.jpeg][P3] ![8-100-100.jpeg][P4] ![9-100-100.jpeg][P5] ![10-100-100.jpeg][P6] Here you can find the original article.

iPhoto has stupid ears

As soon as you edit an image with iPhoto and export it again, iPhoto messes with the EXIF data. Afterwards, there are suddenly invalid tags and type codes in there, which EXIF.py (which I use to read the EXIF data) complains about. Stupid idea.

No lottery million with 'knitting pattern tip'

Ouch. Hopefully no one in their initial excitement over 6 correct numbers peed on their boss's desk.

At tagesschau im Internet there's the original article.

Least Common Multiple

Gerhard Hofmann just on RTL from Brussels: "They are trying to find the lowest common denominator, but that will be difficult" - ok, if they're all as bad at math as he is, then that will really be very difficult

Microsoft in Second Deal to Sell Phone Software

And Telekom is dumb enough to go through with it instead of backing out and telling Microsoft to go to hell.

At New York Times: Technology I found the original article.

He was really that kitschy!

That really was so kitsch!

At least I left out the church tower silhouette, that would have been a bit too much. If the weather tomorrow is like it was today, I'll probably head out an hour later and hopefully capture the sunset at the canal.

It would be nicer if it were green ...

... but that will take a while yet. At the canal today, everything was gray, yellow and brown anyway. Slightly frustrating, especially since the hedge trimmers apparently just marched through and did the spring pruning.

One could almost get wanderlust...

... but unfortunately it's only the city harbor of Münster. Nothing distant, just nearby. But a wide-angle lens helps the imagination along a bit.

Ok, a few more splashes of color

Ok, a few more splashes of color

Not blooming, except in the imagination of the artist or artists. Unfortunately, all of this will probably be torn down soon. What a shame. For me, this is also art.

When the only splash of color ...

When the only splash of color ...

... is the industrial facilities, then it's high time for spring!

You rarely see such vortices around here. I'm quite familiar with them from the north (though they're usually much larger), but such a mini low-pressure system is rather charming.
