Merry Isaac Newton’s Birthday


Finally got some time on my hand. So, to celebrate Sir Isaac Newton’s birthday (see my previous post)I learned a couple of new Fortran tricks today. Also, I figure I’d better update the blog, otherwise what’s the point …
Got a few interesting pictures lately, thought I’d post at least the one. There’s this subway station, where the seats are a bit strange: one (anatomically correct) naked guy holding two equally naked ladies and one fully clothed chemical engineer (meet Maria). A fine example of German humour.

Merry Christmas!


As most of you may know, Christmas is really a derivation from the celebration of the Winter Solstice, that the baby Jesus was NOT born on Christmas but probably in spring. But sir Isaac Newton’s birthday was in fact the 25th of December! I just get a kick out of the idea that christians worlwide are wishing good ‘ol Isaac a merry birthday.
Anyway, hello from Berlin, and here is a link to my new webpage. I am still heavily working on it, but the basics are there. Stop by and say hello sometimes!
