some of the hedges around our pond looked a little too perfectly cut, so i decided to give them a makeover - added a little twig here, extended a patch there, …
i think it looks much more natural now! ;-)

view of the valley

i wanted to write how today (in the morning) i was reminded of my kakapo experience in new zealand, and (in the evening) of that special hike to lake tagimaucia on taveuni .
i wanted to upload a few impressions from scheffau and the region south of the “wild emperor” (wilder kaiser) mountains.
i wanted to talk about the coolness of time dilatation and its role in (microbat) ultrasound recording.
i wanted to complete this sen… .

by now, i’m too tired for any of this.

update 2008-06-13: imagine little check marks next to the first two sentences. ;-)

greetings from scheffau, austria.
i spent the day in the forests of the region for a work-related project, and found this:

wood-horsetail (equisetum sylvaticum)
wood-horsetail (equisetum sylvaticum; wald-schachtelhalm)

it’s a relatively unspectacular plant, i know, but when i came across a small patch of those in an uphill direction, i saw all the plants laterally, their worls as parallel discs, one hovering above another.

Der Linktipp der Woche: Hudelnudel.at, unser frischgebackenes Projekt rund um Nudeln - hier finden Sie unter anderem

Bemerkung am Rande: Auch das Design besteht fast vollständig aus Nudeln.

in english:
HudelNudel.at (”hasty noodle”) is our latest project that aims at collecting quick and easy pasta recipes, following our motto “it’s 10 to 12 again?”. we’re also working on sections about noodle shapes, noodle games, noodle videos and noodle art.

side note: the design consists almost entirely of noodles.

the european soccer championship is just about to start here in central europe, and three games will be held in innsbruck.
this pretty much divides tirol into two groups of people: those who love the UEFA, and those who hate it.

partly related: the 27th silly olympiad

(thx to christian for the link)
