Nice! 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?

Aramark, 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?

2 hours of brilliant TV

Thanks 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!

Oh my… brilliant

From business to community

Mathias Eichler — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 03:53:28 +0000

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.

Whoa… respect!

There 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!

Probably that’s why…
