Den ganzen Tag vorm Smartphone: Mr. Selfie

Es dürfte so einige geben, die sich hierin wieder erkennen. Ich schließe mich da selbstverständlich gänzlich aus. Würde ich nie machen!!11!!

Something we have all no doubt noticed is the increasing fixation with what is going on our smartphones – if it’s not ourselves, then we regularly see other people walking down the street pre-occupied with their phones, we see buses and trains full of commuters fixated on their little screens desperate for some information fix and it’s not uncommon to see friends in restaurants interacting with their phones rather than each other – all missing what is going on around them and reducing their quality of life as a result.

Laszlo Kovacs – At the corner of Hammond & Rhodes

Einmal organisches Genre-Hopping mit Laszlo Kovacs. Hauptsache die Tasten tanzen. Schöner „Guten-Abend-vorm-Kamin-mit-Rotwein“-Mix. Mangels Rotwein geht dieser hier aber auch mit Tee ganz gut rein. Kräuter. Nun ja.

High on Hammond & Rhodes with Ahmad Jamal, the Blackbyrds, Jazz Liberatorz, Nightmares on Wax, … no need for a tracklist, but feel free to ask!

Drohnen-Flug über Auschwitz

Die BBC hat anlässlich des gestrigen 70. Jahrestags der Befreiung von Auschwitz eine Drohne über das ehemalige KZ-Gelände fliegen lassen und die Bilder davon gestern veröffentlicht.

Drone video shows the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp as it is today – 70 years after it was liberated by Soviet troops. The camp in Poland is now maintained as a World Heritage Site and is visited by thousands of tourists and survivors every year. Auschwitz was the largest camp established by the Germans during World War II. More than a million people – the vast majority of them Jews – died there between 1940, when it was built, and 1945, when it was liberated by the Soviet army.

Railway tracks into Auschwitz-Birkenau – Trains filled with victims from throughout occupied Europe arrived at the camp almost every day between 1942 and the summer of 1944.

Ruins of wooden huts at Birkenau – Birkenau (or Auschwitz II) was erected in 1941 solely as a death camp, the wooden huts are now in ruins with only brick fireplaces and chimneys remaining.

Entrance to Auschwitz I -The wrought-iron sign over the entrance bears the words Arbeit Macht Frei – „Work sets you free“.

Auschwitz I – The brick-built buildings were the former cavalry barracks of the Polish Army.

Courtyard between blocks 10 and 11 at Auschwitz I – Block 11 was called „the Block of Death“ by prisoners. Executions took place between Block 10 and Block 11 and posts in the yard were used to string up prisoners by their wrists.

Pixel-Haarfärbungen

Ich mag ja diese Regenbogen-Haarfärbungen sehr gerne, aber das hier geht auch. Hätte ich so vor 20 Jahren vielleicht auch getragen. Mehr davon auf Instagram.

After months of research, X-Presion developed #xpresionpixel, a revolutionary color technique featured in Revlon Professional’s latest collection. An innovative coloring process that achieves a new chromatic dimension and color pixelated effect on the hair, while playing with movement and transforming these textures into the appearance of the pixel effect – something never seen before!

Mit einer Drohne über die Westküste Irlands

Jetzt will ich ans Meer.

When land meets sea and nature and beauty collide, the result is a varied and majestic coastline, unique to the West of Ireland. Witness the Wild Atlantic Way’s sweeping sandy beaches, sheer cliffs, ancient forts and rocky outcrops from a bird’s eye view in this video, captured by Raymond Fogarty.
