Now the Oktoberfest kicked off this weekend, what a perfect time to watch ‘Beer Wars’. The movie documents the struggle of small entrepeneurs pinned against the evil 2-3 corporations that rule the American beer world. TweetSlow Food’s Annual membership is on sale. The organization that has been battling with the reputation of elitism is discounting their membership for a limited time. Interesting move? Act of desperation or sign of changing times? TweetHere are my thoughts on Everyday Olympia around that topic. We need to think bigger to survive. TweetPI reports on the bid by dwarf country Qatar to host the World Cup in 2022. Will they succeed? TweetHere’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward. Keep reading » Tweet |
… US recession ‘longest since WWII’. And einmaleins is still here… phew… I am feeling it. TweetNice! Facebook is rolling into the field of retailing, selling giftcards at Target that can be used on games and apps… Should einmaleins start carrying virtual gift cards, that could be used at Everyday Olympia, or something? TweetAramark, Olympic National Part Concession Provider (weird official term for corporation allowed to make money in and off of National Parks by providing lodging and dining services) is running a special in Germany for “Twilight Lovers” to come and stay in the Olympic National Park and experience the great Northwest, vampire teeth included? The attached press release is in German and promises a detailed map with all the important locations of the film and of course a raffle, where you can win the whole trip, everything, including bite-marks included… Forks, WA must love this, not? TweetThanks to our friends the BBC, and I call them friends, cause they produce the most amazing Television, period. Trixy, my wife, is totally hooked on MI-5, or Spooks, as the show is called by fans in England. MI-5 is England’s Secret Service and the show is incredible suspenseful without the gore and usual crazy-over-the-top storyline American shows are written. And now that the show is available on Netflix, we can catch up with lost episodes and put some missing pieces together. The clip below you really shouldn’t watch cause it explains what happens with Tom, one of the main caracters between Season 2 and 3 as he’s at a breaking point. Brilliant Television! This week something funny happened on facebook. What facebook started doing a while back is creating pages for places, businesses and communities that didn’t have one on their own. Now last week facebook created a page for einmaleins. A community page. I have a page on facebook for einmaleins. A very active one that is. So I was a bit confused on why this might’ve happened and then it dawned on me. I have a business page for einmaleins. Facebook created a community page for me. In an interesting way facebook just realized what I am working on since many months, essentially since I first opened: Turning a business into a community. Facebook just realized this, alot of my friends know this and come to First Friday, support us and are part of the einmaleins community. Thank you my friends and Thank You facebook for realizing that einmaleins is a community. Not just a business, but a place for passion, connection, collaboration and inspiration. TweetThis is impressive! Olympia… are you listening…?
Thanks to Laughing Squid for the link. TweetYou f’in left out Munich in your list of 12 Best Cities for Beer Lovers to visit? What is wrong with you Huffington Post? Sorry, that rallied me up, I need a beer…. TweetThere are moments in life, when you just have to go there… oh, the memories… sitting at my tape deck late at night, trying to record the most popular songs of the Neue Deutsche Welle from the radio for my brother, who was working late at night at Hotel Eiss in Leonberg. Markus, this is for you – I miss you bro! Tweet… I am so fascinated with the new media world. Tweet |
Watched Beer Wars last night, and as it turns out, I am not alone. Netflix creates an interesting collective viewing experience. Who doesn’t have a Netflix account these days and when new movies come out we all put them into our queue… and wait for the day to watch it.
