Real or not?

The Kaycee hoax has people question other people’s identities…

Yesterday, Al met Susan, as these photos proove. Or do they? wink:

Scott wonders whether André and I are real (and tries to proove his own existence). He has asked Craig, but Craig apparently has doubts

Well, Scott, in case it turns out André and I do not really exist, you can still meet at least one real person in Amsterdam. There is so much evidence of his existence that I think we can conclude that he must be real.

See you there… hopefully! facehappy:

New URLs everywhere… now it’s Downstairs at Dry Creek (I think Upstairs has changed as well), and Traumwind.

My email is still broken… meanwhile, please use uzsv0k@uni-bonn.de. Thanks!

“Ich habe einen Traum”: Douglas Adams.

“Der Autor sollte für das Zeit-Leben über einen Traum nachdenken.

Dann saß der Zweimetermann auf einem zierlichen Stühlchen im Innenhof des Hotels Adlon und redete über eine Stunde lang. Es fiel ihm schwer, beim Thema zu bleiben: Immer neue Ideen und Verknüpfungen führten ihn auf Abwege. Er entwarf den Traum eines Gesellschaftsspiels mit kleinen Supercomputern, für das sich 13 Menschen in einer Flughafenlounge in Albuquerque, New Mexico, treffen – sein letzter Ausflug in die Zukunft.”

Susan has photos of her meeting with Al! She says he is really real, and since André met Susan, I believe her. wink:

And Craig‘s hiatus is officially over now. Nice to have you back!

In other news, I’ve been busy all day learning Algebra. Anybody care to know what a quotient field is, or a factor ring? Yeah, thought so. It’s not really that interesting…

Hoax

The Kaycee Hoax has been covered by MSNBC: A painful affair of the Internet heart. There are some of those “Kaycee” photos there. I suppose Julie, the real person in the pictures, is not happy about this, see this message. sadface:

A more elaborate article can be found at Kuro5hin: The Life and Death of a False Warrior.

By the way, here‘s a list of links to mirrors of the original journals, news articles, message boards etc.

Artwork

Take a look at bewitched! It’s a gallery of really cool artwork. I especially like the starry night.

Weblogger-Treffen

Update zu der Nachricht von gestern: Das Weblogger-Treffen ist am 1. Juni, nicht am 1. Juli!

Danke für den Hinweis, Jan-Willem.

Vor ein paar Tagen erhielt ich eine Email von Mr. Green:

“Den 1. Juni gibt es einen weblogmeeting in Den Haag [in Holland].
Es werde toll sein when du auch dabei konte sein!

I guess I’d better do this in englisch because I just noticed my german is worse than I expected. Anyway, the upcoming 1st of July there is a webloggers meeting in The Hague [Den Haag – the Netherlands]. It would be nice if you could also make it over here to give this meeting a special international character! :o)

You can find more info on: http://weblogmeeting.mrgreen.nl/

It’s in dutch, but I know german ppl don’t have many problems reading dutch ;o)

… maybe you could mobilize some german loggers?”

Ich selbst bin ziemlich sicher, daß ich Anfang Juli so im Examensstreß sein werde, daß ich keine Zeit haben werde. Vielleicht hat aber jemand anders Lust?

Online Journalism

Doc Searls had some interesting thoughts on online journalism and weblogs yesterday. “It’s personal. That’s my whole philosophy.”

(He also writes about his very interesting and entertaining visit to one of the first Apple Stores, by the way. )

Kaycee

After Kaycee’s death, some people began doubting whether she really lived and her diary was genuine. A lenghty discussion followed after Randall van der Woning wrote The end of the whole mess and took down both Kaycee’s and Debbie’s blogs, leaving only Debbie’s confession.

Confusing. I wonder if the truth will ever be found out.

Sonntagslektüre – Diese Woche in der Zeit

Integration: Sprachlos bunt.

“Das Deutsch vieler Einwandererkinder ist schlechter denn je. Wenn die Eltern nicht mithelfen, sind Kindergärten und Schulen machtlos”.

Dossier: Flucht der Forscher.

“Die besten deutschen Wissenschaftler arbeiten in Amerika. Bildungsministerin Bulmahn will sie zurücklocken. Werden sie kommen?”

Aidsbekämpfung: Eine einmalige Chance

“Erstmals l?sst sich Aids in Afrika wirkungsvoll bekämpfen – doch nur, wenn auch Europa in einen globalen Hilfsfonds einzahlt.”

Siehe auch Zeit online – Schwerpunkt Aids.

Aerodynamik: Hier irrt die Schulweisheit.

“Warum kann ein Flugzeug fliegen? Bis heute, kritisieren zwei amerikanische Forscher, wird das falsch erklärt.”
