Wir Blogger - reich, berühmt und im Fernsehen. »Schaut man sich die 'grossen' deutschen Blogs ITW und Kantel Daily News (Mein Respekt!) an, ähneln sie eher Nachrichten-Seiten, wenn auch teilweise mit News weitab von jedwedem Mainstream und die sich die Freiheit nehmen den eigenen Senf dazuzugeben. Dirty Harry schaut man ja auch nicht um sich die Nachrichten nochmal vorlesen zu lassen, sondern wegen der Kommentare.« [mehr bei Almost virtual everything]

Genaugenommen liest man :itw: wegen der Kommentare zu den Kommentaren. Über... [Industrial Technology & Witchcraft

Berlin marks Kennedy rally. The German capital celebrates the 40th anniversary of John F Kennedy's famous "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech. [BBC News | Europe | World Edition]

--

The general sentiment in Germany towards the US has changed a great deal since the days of JFK. In fact, I'm not too sure whether the present climate on the European continent it is sufficiantly understood in America today.

To gain a sense of the widespread bitter emnity felt here toward the erstwhile liberators, one only has to glance through the countless comments posted in German forums around the web....

Who knows where all this will lead?

Mac Essentials. Die "Nacht des Apfels" war nicht nur für Apple, sondern auch für :itw: ein voller Erfolg: viele hundert Gäste verfolgten den Live-Ticker, und die im Senfkeller "Anwesenden" (falls jemand einen Elefanten gesehen hat - er war wirklich da!) hatten beste Laune und ihren Spaß. Apple präsentierte Produkte und Ankündigungen, die man wohl getrost als "historisch" bezeichnen kann. Hier ein Run-Down mit Links zu weiteren Infos:... [Industrial Technology & Witchcraft

The irony of his post actually had me there for a while (until Martin himself enlightened me)

Students teaching with blogs. Jill Walker: »One thing I've really liked in the student weblogs I've been grading is that there are a lot of posts that are really useful. It's so different from exams where only the examiners are ever going to see all the work students have done. For instance, a colour blind student teaches other students and readers how to design sites that can be read by colour blind people (you'll have more colour blind readers than readers using Opera or Netscape or needing websafe colours or any of those other things we fret about), another student explains how to make skins for your blog, one explains how to use php to join up separate html files. There are lots of comments from other students on the blogs, and questions are asked and answered and there are links to and fro and they've just done a really impressive job.« [owrede_log
