Max Pechstein im Ahlener Kunstmuseum - I should put this on my calendar, he is one of my favorite Expressionists (alongside Schmidt-Rottluff and Kirchner) - the pictures in their colorfulness are simply the greatest for me.

Data Protection and Social Network Buttons
Just read: Data Protection & Facebook Like Button for Website Operators. I just played around with the various social buttons (they might still appear on cached pages for a while), but then I thought they will probably report more connections between accounts and page visits - and turned them off for now.
The linked article takes a closer look at the Facebook Like Button, the Google +1 Button should be very similar. The Twitter Button is probably not unproblematic either, at least when the server is queried for the number of tweets - but an unproblematic variant of the Twitter button should be achievable, because that is the simplest case after all.
Well, for now I have turned off the toy again, I still have to think about it. Because on the one hand it is of course interesting to enable visitors with active social networks to easily share in their networks - but what is the price?
danlucraft/git.js. Wow, impressive. And potentially very interesting - git as a general synchronization mechanism is extremely practical and integrating git functionality into web applications could solve some problems well (e.g. when it comes to synchronization with other places, or of course for document-internal versioning). I have to take a closer look at some point, I already have one or two ideas on how I could use it. It's still quite rudimentary at the moment, but it's definitely worth keeping an eye on.
