They both have intelligent eyes but can’t express themselves… And what’s more, they’re trying to change the whole world in their image. Applications, gadgets, the “Internet of things”, remotely operated toilet paper rolls… They…

Awestruck – My evening with the Cirque du Soleil
Read more: Awestruck – My evening with the Cirque du SoleilThe sleet hit my face, dabbing a zillion tiny wet spots on my winter coat as soon as I stepped out of the underground station at Theresienwiese.

St. Patrick’s Day 2013
Read more: St. Patrick’s Day 2013Shamrock, flutes and black bier on the streets of Munich. Forget for a second that it’s a frigid mid-March afternoon. Try to ignore the whizzing wind too, although your nose feels like it might fall off any minute now. The sun has slashed its way through the ceiling of aubergine-colored clouds, and – perhaps even…
