    Asül für Alle

    Einer der wenigen Schweizer, die auch ohne Schweizer Akzent sprechen können. Andreas Thiel hat Berliner Wurzeln und erinnert frisurtechnisch durchaus an den Berliner Sascha Lobo, der zwar kein Kabarettist und Satiriker ist, aber auch sehr politisch. Einer der wenigen deutschsprachigen «Comedians», die nicht peinlich sind.

    In diesem Auftritt beim Bayerischen Rundfunk spricht er über die Hauptsache, dass jeder studieren kann und wie man als Schweizer in Deutschland Teilzeitflüchtling mit Shopping Asyl wird.

    Asül für Alle!

  • Twenty Sixteen

    Twenty Sixteen

    Today I switched this blog from Twenty Fifteen to Twenty Sixteen, the new default theme that ships with WordPress. I first had the same first impression as every year. I liked the old one better. But after revisiting the site a couple of times I’m already starting to like it more and more. It’s a fresh start, it’s even more light-weight and it made me realize by looking at the category cloud that I want to cut down on categories and only use those that really matter (to me). It’s important in life to focus on what’s important and the same of course also applies to blogging.

    I hope you had an inspiring Twenty Fifteen and I wish you an even more inspiring Twenty Sixteen. A Very Murray Christmas and a Happy New Year!

    Murray Christmas

    The picture on top is from kokoen.net, I hope by linking back to them they will grant me permission to use it. The picture with Bill Murray is from a Netflix original Christmas special written by Sofia Coppola, Mitch Glazer, and Bill Murray with the special stars Murray, George Clooney, Amy Poehler, Miley Cyrus, Chris Rock and many more.

    In A Very Murray Christmas, a snowstorm in New York City interrupts a live scheduled broadcast of a Christmas variety special hosted by Bill Murray. While the guests and many performers can’t make the performance, Murray puts on a show with the hotel and theaters workers, his team, and the performers that are able to attend.

  • Google’s Proposal for North Bayshore

    Google’s Proposal for North Bayshore

    In this video Google vice president of real estate Dave Radcliffe and architects Thomas Heatherwick and Bjarke Ingels discuss the proposed master plan for their new campus in Mountain View, California. With this proposal, the focus is on creating space for people, nature and ideas to thrive. Pretty impressive stuff.

    Bjarke Ingels in the picture above is a Danish architect based in New York City. Hoping to become a cartoonist, he began to study architecture in 1993 as he thought it would help him to improve his drawing skills.

    Thomas Heatherwick was born in London. Since the late 1990s he has emerged as one of Britain’s most gifted and imaginative designers. His innovative approach to design has earned him a reputation as an «ideas engine», probably one of the reasons why Google selected him for the proposal.
