The Woodbine Pub

by wolf on April 27, 2010

The Woodbine Pub, originally uploaded by Wolfgang Haak.
Let me introduce to you: The Woodbine. My local pub is cool enough to warrant an entry on the blog. It’s open late, there’s no carpet, the decoration is fun and eclectic, the crowd is pleasant and good looking, the bar staff attentive, the music genre is mostly [...]

Visit to Highgate Cemetery

by wolf on April 4, 2010

in London, environment

One of my favourite travel web-sites is the fabulous Atlas Obscura. If it didn’t exist, one would have to invent it. Although I doubt I would be able of such great feat myself.
To make a long story short, it’s simply a fantastic sight to visit, for everyone interested in Landscape design, sculptures, overgrown gardens, romanticism, [...]

March 2, 2010

One of my weird t-shirt idea’s is available at Spreadshirt!
Inspired by the infamous “Be Calm and Carry on!” WWII poster as discovered by Barter Books, this shirt reads:

March 1, 2010

Several years ago,
with the emergence of IKEA, Habitat and co. , the excitement of inexpensive furniture that was good looking and stylish took the western world in a storm. And it is blindingly clear why. Prior to the IKEA era (no disrespect for similar approaches that predate IKEA, but history has the unkind manner of [...]

London Potholes – Dangerous Cycling

February 23, 2010

Cycling Highways? Boris you should learn how to walk before you can cycle. London’s streets are in a state of disrepair that won’t go away by merely talking about “excellence”, “militant about cycling”and “world class” alone. Get the shovel out and keep the drivel to yourself.
Somehow I don’t think this kind of damage is going [...]

Scary ghost passengers haunt St. Pancras station

January 22, 2010

What can I add to that. It’s early morning, I’m on my way to work. Waiting as most people with “plugs” in my ears, drinking a fresh coffee under the sterile lights deep underground on the cavernous platform, when I noticed that us passengers are not the only ones occupying the seats. There is someone [...]

Google Gears on Debian Iceweasel

December 4, 2009

google gears,
oh, dear oh, dear.
another website of mine (www.burstofcolour.com) is hosted on a seriously slow server. Cash is short supply atm, so I thought, I’d be smart and install Google Gears as this will help speeding up wordpress.
Follow the link to gears.google.com (temporarily allow scripts from google.com in ScriptBlock) and after a refresh you’d think [...]

Music: Dark Night of the Soul: Dangermouse

November 27, 2009

Dangermouse: Name is the game
DJ Dangermouse has done it again. An incredible album. Loads of people love it. A lot of people call it “Album of the year”, and you can’t buy it, cos EMI killed it.
Some lawyer, jobsworth, moron, accountant, employee over at EMI obviously believes that if DJ Dangermouse’s creation won’t fit into [...]

Peak Oil vs. the quick buck

November 19, 2009

I often tune into documentaries, radio programmes etc while at work. I work in 3D graphics, which often involves almost mechanical tasks, like checking and converting endless iterations of data sets as assets for crating 3D environments. They are mind-numbingly simple and should be automated, only, I’m not a good script writer, and secondly, until [...]
