I just got back from snowboarding with Thomas in Axams. It was a really beautiful day, sunny, clear conditions and it didn't take us too long to find some decent powder slopes. After hugging the occasional tree jumping out in front of us and getting some bruises we ended up on this ;)
Bei der flüchtigen Betrachtung von studiVZ (ich brauche nicht noch eine Mitgliedschaft in einem social network) ist mir die folgende Anmeldeseite aufgefallen:
Man beachte die erste Zeile:
Vorname (nicht Nachname):
Kann es tatsächlich sein, dass man der Zielgruppe Studenten den Begriff Vorname näher erläutern muss? Wenn das mal keine Bestätigung der Pisastudie ist =)
Which country has the higher child mortality of these pairs:
Sri Lanka or Turkey Poland or South Korea
Malaysia or Russia Pakistan or Vietnam
Thailand or South-Africa
The correct answers are highlighted in bold.
I would have gotten 2 out of 5 on this test. How about you?
I know I'm a little late with this: Originally Hans Rosling's speech at Le Web 3 conference came to my attention sometime around christmas. The speech helps clear out some very deep-rooted misconceptions of the world we tend to have, growing up in the "first world" and the way the data is visualized using gapminder is really stunning.
This second one is much older but very interesting, too.
A happy new year to everyone. After some quality offline time I'm back to digital now! I just uploaded a couple of new photosets. The latest one is from our Hütten-week at Le Grand Bornand in France where we went snowboarding and celebrated new years.
I also added a christmas album with family pictures and some nice shots from Starnberger See.
And last but not least there are a bunch of shots from my visit with Stefan in Bangkok.
