I Always Get A Cramp In My Abs

For you as the new year ... :)

In my advent calendar today I found a really wonderful text to the beginning of the new year. If anyone asks me again for good intentions for 2011, I will refer to these words ... :) They are attributed to Joseph Beuys.


Let yourself fall.
Learn snakes observed.
plant impossible gardens.
charging someone dangerous to tea.
Make little signs that say "yes" and spread them everywhere
in your house.

Become a friend of freedom and uncertainty.
Look forward to dreams.
wines with movies,
Swayer so high you can
with your swing in the moonlight.

care different moods,
refuse to be "responsible,"
do it for love.
belief in witchcraft laugh a lot.
bathing in the moonlight.

wild dreams, fanciful dreams.
Draw on the walls.
Read each day.
Imagine you'd be charmed.
giggle with children.
Listen to old people.

games with everything.
Entertain the child in you, you are innocent.
Build a castle ceiling would, wet, hug trees,
write love letters.

Where To Buy Used Parts For Alaska Coal Stoves

A resolution for the new year

I've had often written about the question of what exactly constitutes actually the "inner" or "real" age of a person. I do not believe that numbers represent on a birth certificate as a real statement - and perhaps did Pablo Casals today given me an answer to my question. What do you think? He said that ...


As long as you can love and admire, one is always young.

fliplife - brave new world

Seit dem 31. August habe ich einen neuen Grund, gerne im Web unterwegs zu sein: das Social Game "fliplife". Mittlerweile habe ich mich auf Level 38 hochgearbeitet und da ist es Zeit, einige Anmerkungen zu machen und festzuhalten, was ich in den vergangenen Wochen mit dem Spiel erlebt habe. Es ist ein Paradebeispiel für die Möglichkeiten der Weiterentwicklung des Web 2.0 - quasi im Zeitraffer - , das ich fasziniert miterlebe (und hier und da sogar mit Begeisterung mit gestalte).

Dabei möchte ich eure Aufmerksamkeit auf mehrere Bereiche richten:

- das Spiel an sich
- die Menschen im Spiel
- die Kultur des Spiels
- die Frage, warum ich this post for this blog to write

The game

fliplife is my very first game (apart from such games as Tetris and Mahjong times). Irritated me from the first day of the fact that I can be integrated directly as a player in the creation and development process of the game.

The people in the game

The "social" component of the game is indeed the best ever. Sure, it's nice to stand in the ranking near the top (in football, I am even still # 1:)), but the salt in the fliplife soup are the people - very different, interesting, funny, cute, many really intelligent people with whom you always immediately call a unifying theme - and refers directly behind fliplife much more themes. What do you get: people who know each other but did not actually pull themselves at parties against each other despite lack of Cash's to the next level give each other tips, respecting services compliment each other honestly and won the match live, and so in this small fine virtual world values, from which our present society but it can often only dream about. Sure, if a bonus he gets messed up what ever heard, but then it says line under it - next task. This eight-year-old play with people who are their grandparents könnten, und das ist innerhalb des Spiels völlig bedeutungslos! Man added sich auf facebook (Das ist dank des Mitdenkens der Entwickler ein ganz kurzer Weg...) und lernt dabei noch mehr über den Mitspieler. Die Könner schreiben hilfreiche Tools und stellen sie in den aufblühenden facebook-Spielergruppen den anderen zur Verfügung, stellen sich dabei auch, wie es gute Tradition im Netz ist, der konstruktiven Kritik; jeder baut im Rahmen seiner Möglichkeiten an diesem Projekt mit, vernetzt sich, lernt, spielt, hat Spaß und Kommunikation. Einfach klasse!

Die Kultur des Spiels

Dadurch entsteht eine Spielkultur, die man in ihrer Vielfalt, Wandlungsfähigkeit und in ihrem Potential can describe. After all, fliplife only been about 8 weeks online and still 'beta' - ideas, there are thousands of times, they will be discussed further spun to the developers themselves or given directly implemented ... There are always new challenges and ideas (Like last week, the crack 5k at a party.) mobilize the players. It is incredibly exciting because the middle to put in it. The game has it really only the platform (albeit a very, very good!) - But with life and dynamism of the Web, we fill fliplife, we, the male and female players. A truly fascinating network of Real Life and the web that no one would know what is happening all yet.

Why here?

fliplife about why I write here? I've always thought - no, come play for me out of the question, I can thus not afford a permanent time-eater. But true to the motto traudichwasneues I wanted to try it then but times and I have within this game world already learned so much, heard, witnessed, discovered met, -. At other points of view - as a potential I have for a long time not live. And I always knew that at the other end of the Spinnwebnetzfadens sits a genuine human being, unique and exciting. A player in a small world, but living life.
