I just saw that folksinger Joan Baez is singing in the Zitadelle Spandau today (tickets). Unfortunately I won’t be there.* However I would like to say at this place that I wish Joan Baez wouldn’t need to sing on such occasions as on a concert of the operation cease fire.

Another remark: the Zitadelle Spandau as being a former fortress of the 16th century is also not such a pleasant location but the more it is important that there are nice concerts.

->Joan Baez singing the answer is blowing in the wind

*addendum: I actually managed to go to the concert and arrived there in the last minute. She sang very nicely about strange stories. Interestingly the core of a folk music concert (it was my first folk music concert) seems to be that the audience sometimes forms a choir. After the “more” some more images which are sometimes a bit blurry, since my camera is not so lightsensitive.

I am currently at the NMI 2007 conference which runs from morning till night – if one includes the after hour work, like a boat trip on Berlin waters, which took place last night (just one photo from the boat trip – funny to watch the Hauptbahnhof from this perspective):

MEDUSALEM. Researchers from Israel found out that our Internet galaxy has in its center a Medusa head (they call it actually a Medusa model), i.e. a head which grows snakes instead of hair.

According to Heise online the german government in its function as Presidency of the European Council wants to come to an agreement for the new EU passports before the end of July. This may spur the discussion about finger prints in passports on an european level.

I am aware of the fact that it may be funny if a mathematical physicist speaks about theatre.
