Back on

Status; back from both China and the military, spent a week out in the woods with the National Guard and now the net connection is more or less back again. So naturally, I have a lot of notes, thoughts and questions to get out here.

First off, it is Euro 2004 time - so in respect for Zin Zid, Mr French football saviour:

A German named Paul Friese from Rendsburg in northern Germany has build a Lego model of his local football stadium "Fritz Walter Stadium", complete with 40 000 fans, buses outside and ads on the side. 130 cm tall, 56 square meters (500+ sq. feet) and wheiging in at 1000+ kilos - a lot of fun for the four months it took him...? (more german info: 1 and 2 )

...and the sun is clouded so I can use the computer for a while longer - new drapes next week, can hardly wait...
