Felix Baumgartner

You know after a few glasses of champagne at the art opening for transmediale at Haus der Kulturen der Welt after you just saw a ton if people an a ton of crazy techno-art and then you swing through that späti downstairs at Alex and multiple Felix Baumgartners are staring at you from some red bull cans and you put all thoughts of worldwide corporate domination aside and just think: "Felix Baumgartner - love that guy!"

Hauptstrasse 155, berlin

Today I am returning to Hauptstrasse 155 for a friends's son's birthday party.
There is a funny story with that address, though. A few years ago when my friend was planning on returning to Berlin I was helping him hunt for an apartment (while he was still in Stuttgart) and adftwr viewing a dozen places I'd visited for them that was the one they chose. Originally I had google mapped the addresses but after they moved in I wanted to go for a visit and accidentally GOOGLED the address and a whole mess of David Bowie and Iggy Pop stuff came up- apparently my friend had moved into the apartment at the Hauptstrasse 155 address directly above the one David Bowie and Iggy pop used to live in back when.
The sad part of the story is that a yer later a Turkish family with special needs kids who obviously
Didn't know any better moved in and painted over all the paintings on the walls that Bowie and Pop had done (which were still there up until that point !)- which is just sad... :( and how that is my David Bowie Berlin apartment story.

EPIC FAIL COMPILATION

I would like to say that I am above this... but you know what? Riddled with jetlag at 3am on a cold, dark Berlin morning I am NOT above this...
I am watching it in chunks... LMFAO. Trying not to wince...

COULD CONTROL and KCRW

so, I have assumed that Google has a long-term plan for us all, as does Apple and any other major player on wheeling and dealing information now, and all the IT guys at work claim that Google is Evil, in fact - and I can see why they think that - although i still love google, I have grown wary over the years... 
but today I SAW it - Google's plan - very clearly when I accidentally logged into a part of my acct. I have never logged into before, where it listed:

"

Drive

View and modify plan

Current plan: 0 GB for $0.00/year

0.28% full, using 0.01 GB of your 5 GB

"

SO - basically, if I choose to use this NOW as my primary way of working in the digital world then they are banking that several years down the road (when I drive and email are filling up - EVEN THOUGH all they have ever TOLD me is how much friggin free space I have and how I will never have to ever delete anythig ever - AT SOME POINT I WILL MAXX-OUT and then - because I will have so much invested in my primary email acct. that I will just stary paying google for more storage... maybe that is fair, maybe a decade or two of using their services for free should be paid when I maxx out... maybe, or... 

My current solution: create as many gmail addresses as possible and slowly migrate from one to the next - while also overlapping them on my devices and making it so they are all linked - and for me that isn't too much to handle, I am ok with that - but it is the only think I can think to do...

Anyhow, I have jetlag so whatever, I am just complaining...

but KCRW eclectic 24 streaming is AMAZING...
