as far as i remember, the second bridge of the waterway crossing of mittellandkanal and weser near minden was not there when i visited the place at the beginning of the 1990s... but i still like it, a ship on a bridge is really a fantastic picture.

in magdeburg another such waterway crossing is intended to be finished in 2003 - almost 70 years after its construction began. the project is titled "deutsche einheit nr.17". a bridge from the dark past to the lighter present...?

i've never seen such an intense rainbow... ten minutes, just here outside my window. it looked a little bit like this one – yes, a lighter second one was there, too. incredibly beautiful.

lynn mccutcheon: "bach flower remedies: time to stop smelling the flowers?" (quoted from sceptical inquirer vol. 19, no.4, july/august 1995).

via titanic's humorkritik i came across the finnish band aavikko: "they construct and construct, compose and rework. for a long, long time". true, the amount of tracks available is quite impressing.

some older titles remind me of the atmosphere in a casino at closing hour on a ferry between mariehamn and turku ("vaaleanpunainen palvelu"). they already define the typical sound of the guys from siilinjärvi, cheap casio beatbox and clunky organ sounds ("samojedien keskuudessa"). tracks from the still fresh release "multi muysic" even have some potential to drop a little bomb on the floor ("torpedo boys").

on 25 october 2001 aarvikko play live in vienna's chelsea. more about finnish electronic music can be found at phinnweb.

btw. the name of the "flying finn" is spelled without but pronounced with umlaut-a.

too much comix to digest at once: bubblesoap, mr man, doug allen.

and: wow, moccu. some design after a while...

telepolis: "am 26. Juli beschloss die vereinigung amerikanischer anorexiekranker anad (national association of anorexia nervosa and associated disorders) den zahlreichen homepages und onlineforen, in denen magersucht als lebensstil und nicht als krankheit propagiert wird, den kampf anzusagen".

another example of the difference between good-will and well-done. since yahoo! banned 21 pro-ana (ie. pro-anorexia) sites from their server, many girls and women feel separated from the support of their virtual community. "they cut off our lifeblood", says 22 year old anorexic silent chaos in an interview with the boston globe.

eating disorders are a public desease. i believe that more people suffer from it than anyone can imagine. its offshoots are closer to you than you might think since anorectics and bulimics consequently try to hide their desease from their social environment and rather suffer secretly.

set.point is a viennese therapy group whose guestbook illustrates some of the emotions and motives behind the mere diagnosis.

student's radio is here to come? live from dornbirn, vorarlberg: achwelle.
