Mankinds favorite pastime… blowing shit up

fireworks

Tonight, the Olympiapark in Munich exploded. Kudos to the pyrotechnician who engineered this spectacle without setting any major visitor site on fire (though he probably did cost the city a couple of carbon emission credits). Anyway, I was once again reminded and amazed what a huge attraction the mastering of fire – an otherwise destructive element – has to lots of people.

Envis back from Twittagessen

Today, the Twittagessen-No.116 which took part at NamNam (Munich). The idea behind Twittagessen is pretty simple. Everyone can invite some people at twitter. If you want to take part you just have to write a post at twitter with the hashtag of the event. We had #twittagessen-116. I guess it was  the biggest Twittagessen in Germany by now. Over 60 twittering people took part there and the little asian restaurant had a lot to do …

… It was a mixed group of participants. Right next to me it was Ralph, a nice personnel consultant for financial services. On my left side there was Kathi aka @Kirschkathi which is doing public relations. A nice bunch of people there talking about there jobs, »Völkerball« and Chocolate. Next time we will see us at Twiesn ; )

Münchener Freiheit is sooo neon

muenchner-freiheit-neon2

Stagnacy signifies shortfall and change is good. This is what officials from Munich city maybe thought when they decided to color the underground station »Münchener Freiheit« in NEON.

muenchner-freiheit-neon1

Yellow is the seasonal trend color of 2009… Uhm yes, but my eyes all go funny… I understand that underground stations should look more positive, friendly and bright, but we have to look at our underground station everyday… Neon yellow e-v-e-r-y-d-a-y! Oh my god, this will give me eyestrain.

However, my favourite underground station in Munich is still »Westfriedhof«, which was designed by the german industrial designer Ingo Maurer.
