Hi, I'm Matthias. I love music, nonsense and people that don't take life seriously. I enjoy tinkering with web stuff and craft interfaces with passion. This tank is full of random things I stumble across and enjoy. Stay hungry, stay foolish - never settle.

Pretty funny viral oh-so-bad (German) spots by “Fixmeyer”. They are actually running out in Berlin promoting these products as if they existed?
Hier müssen wir handeln! Wir müssen tapezieren!
I think i know this guy. I guess he must have been some kind of supervillan in one of my childhood tv series.

Malcolm Gladwell: The strange tale of the Norden bombsight

“So why do we talk about the Norden bombsight? Well because we live in an age where there are lots and lots of Norden bombsights. We live in a time where there are all kinds of really, really smart people running around, saying that they’ve invented gadgets that will forever change our world. They’ve invented websites that will allow people to be free. They’ve invented some kind of this thing, or this thing, or this thing that will make our world forever better.

And this is the problem with our infatuation with the things we make. We think the things we make can solve our problems, but our problems are much more complex than that. The issue isn’t the accuracy of the bombs you have, it’s how you use the bombs you have, and more importantly, whether you ought to use bombs at all.”

Great storytelling, great message.
