… you read your RSS headlines, stumble across the news “Atlantis ready to return to Earth” and don’t think about NASA and Hubble, but about the show finale of Stargate Atlantis.

Today I am way too tired for a full fledged report and I really want to do John Billingsley justice, so I decided to share two of my geek moments with you that also have to do with FedCon.
While sifting through my photos during the weekend, faithfully tagging all of them so I won’t get totally lost, I suddenly realized what my most used keywords were at that moment:

Keywords in Adobe Lightroom
Now, how cool is that? Usually I see only rather boring keywords like ’sunset’, ‘dresden’, ‘flower’, or ‘macro’. Having the …

Every BSG fan who’s been gnawing at his or her fingernails since last year, hold on to your hats! Check out this hilarious – and I really mean it – clip that will help you catch up and remember what happened before the show went into hiatus (I still wish harm on the executives who decided to leave us hanging in midair like this). But beware – you’ll probably need an oxygen infusion afterwards. It’s absolutely hysterical!

I usually do not believe in coincidences, but sometimes life is just weird. The company I work for has moved to a new office building and once I sat down on my new desk and looked around (literally), it hit me: the design company responsible for the interior must be either headed by a covert Drazi or there must be some other kind of conspiracy.

As you can see, this can’t be a coincidence. No one their right mind would use those colors together in the same …

Just stumbled upon something in the Babylon Podcast forum that made me laugh out loud. The full humor will probably only reveal itself to you if you are familiar with the podcast and maybe with Voices of Babylon as well.
For those of you B5 fans who have not yet listened to the podcast (seriously, you have no idea on what you are missing out): Jarsto is a long time listener and did call in very often with voice mails, which were so hilarious that he inspired others and in the end he, …

This is a report from our inside source on the move of the company [name removed for security reasons] from a 20-year old building to new facilities.
Excitement about the move spread among company employees early this year when December was announced as the month of the switch-over. Failing furniture, old equipment and ever unstable internet connections were just some of the reasons the 800+ employees of the local branch were looking forward to pack up their stuff.
Much discussion was caused by the new seating arrangement. Currently all of the employees …

If you would have an hour or two to imagine the kind of world you’d like to live in half a year from now, how would that world look like? No war? Leading a life as an employed person? Knowing that the government cares about environmental issues?
A group of people has not just thought about this for a couple of hours, but for over 6 months and the result was a fake edition of the ‘New York Times’ which was distributed Nov 12 in New York, San Francisco, Chicago and …

This morning, a colleague send me over to www.web.de where some editor got a little mixed up. The heading said “Obama’s emotional acceptance speech”, but the picture placed next to the article stirred up an emotion of a different kind. About half an hour later, the error was corrected.
Probably the editor just wanted to point out that politics can be quite arousing as well ;)

There’s another humorous picture that I found today (on my own, this time) and which reminded me of Jarsto’s rant about monitor settings. Since it’s also …
