I had to come to Tokyo in order to experience the first Pecha Kucha Night of my life. After I somehow never managed to go to a Pecha Kucha Night in Berlin this was a really nice coincidence and I am thinking about doing a Pecha Kucha speech or presentation myself someday…? Maybe…
Anyway, anyone who [...]

Driving my bike to Wedding I always pass by some inlay rabbits. It’s an art project I like because it’s subtle in a way.
Karla Sachse created this “Kaninchenfeld” (field of rabbits) in 1999 to remind of the border crossing “Chausseestrasse”. The rabbits symbolise the peaceful inhabitants here and there of the “Todesstreifen” (strip of death).

Okay, I finally had to do it and created my own profile on MySpace: www.myspace.com/juliation.
Well, I guess this is just another way of “part of a public community” as this blog here is, too. But I’ll see if it will evolve some new experiences on the web…?

The gardeners of Berlin ‘Tiergarten’ seem to be very progressive. They have installed anti-theft devices for certain plants, as a sign indicates saying “secured against theft” (in German: “Gegen Diebstahl gesichert”).

Next time I’ll drive by there, I might be tempted to check out how this device actually works!? So far I could not find this [...]

dropping knowledge today finally realised what they had been working on for many years: The Table of Free Voices took place in Berlin on the Bebelplatz – quite a symbolic gesture as on this place ten thousands of books were burned by the Nazis.
In February 2004 when I first heard about the idea of dropping [...]

Somehow this slogan “dirt is good” had come across several times before I actually captured it on my mobilephone when I saw it in on a Persil package for washingpowder in a supermarket in Wellington/NZ. And today I finally bought such a Persil package – in fact only because I thought it was worth a [...]

What a sad day! After watching the half final match between Germany and Italy I really did not know what to do with myself… I am actually glad not to be in Germany right now… must be pretty sad there… at least that is what THE DOMINION POST in Wellington, New Zealand is telling about:

This [...]

Nils (who I actually owe a lot…) and Stefa (whom I did not know before last Saturday) have been struck by WANDERLUST. They proceed from Berlin to Munich by feet to make their dream come true: be part of the official opening ceremony of the FIFA Worldcup 2006!
I keep my fingers crossed and send all [...]

A few days ago I was curious what my WEB.DE account was doing. When I locked in I found the following: Although I had not payed for my WEB.DE membership, they granted me an extension of it!?

But what is actually the benefit of this WEB.DE membership if my WEB.DE account was blocked and disabled!?

This just [...]

Lately some seemingly farfetched labels catched my eye. If you check the incredients list of the shampoo “Mit Seide” (with silk) there is actually “hydrolized silk” in it. On the other hand I am sceptical if this shampoo really is capable of recognising my hair structure (“erkennt die Haarstruktur)!?
Another funny shampoo is the one with [...]
