Today I took the plunge and opened a myspace page. Right now there’s absolutely nothing on it–basically I joined because I wanted to see pictures of somebody who was supposed to be cute. In an abstract way, he was cute–but not my type at all. The most annoying feature was that I got a confirmation […] Today was really cool, in an unexpected way. On my way to Jena I was rocking out to music on my iPod while reading the Handbook on the Knowledge Economy. Normally, this wouldn’t be a noteworthy event, but this morning the train was filled with lots of kids—I’d guess 11 or 12 years old. I […] I hope that CQ is able to keep his gamblin’ urges under control, now that North Carolina has the lottery!

While it wasn’t heavy, it did discourage me from taking the not free Cold War walking tour of Berlin from the same company that offered the free Berlin tour that I took Friday. Instead I picked up The Guardian and had breakfast at Café Berio, which […] Thankfully the trip up to Berlin was uneventful: I was essentially on time, and, as I was making the trip on the U-Bahn, my ticket was inspected, one of three journeys that I was controlled. My flat in Berlin was in a terrific location—a block away from the U-Bahn station, a block away from The […] Obviously, in the past, I have not enjoyed Berlin.
