These days my political activity has been in the background, or rather, I have been exercising the art of the invisible. Politics is an art. One of the more startling discoveries that I have made is that the most action does happen behind the scenes and within the political household that “the party” is.
Recently I [...]
In Bern today.
I get a lot of unsolicited post from the city of Bern’s various administrative and cultural units. Some of it lands right straight into the waste basket and each time I regret the trees and all the energy that has gone into producing yet another wasted paper. Still, waste comes naturally to nature. [...]
Thanks habi for the links. Great conversation was to be had on all fronts last night at Desperado as already mentioned by David, however grid computing is something that I forgot to mention and that is being worked on rather seriously these days in order to handle the mammoth amounts of data being produced by [...]
Politics… the local variety
The honeymoon is over, there is work to do. I am at this point dealing with my own administrative breakdowns and my strong wish that it would be really easy to deal with this city. After all my bank has managed to make it possible for me to log-in to my account [...]

Was there!
sorta of a blog
There is nothing that gets people more excited about politics than a good scandal. In Berne it has been my own party that in the past days has provided the script of scandal. This being a nice provincial little town, of course the scandal is not about sex, and this being Switzerland, it ain’t about [...]
The last time that I could not sleep because I did not want to sleep without writing down a few thoughts occurred a few months ago. At that time what was on my mind was very private and intimate, and then I wrote what there was to write, purged the buffer of my mind, and [...]
I want to go to a barCamp and end up in a blogCamp. I go to a blogger meeting and end up discussing BarCampSwitzerland, but what stole the show tonight was habi’s iPhone! That is not David (aka habi) on that pic, that is Chrigu who works with one of our local GSM service providers [...]
Actually having a ball with politics!
Just a few days ago I tried pitying a friend of mine for the fact that he works like a horse, and he retorted something that implied that he needed no pity as he was having all sorts of fun. For him work is fun. Yesterday somebody asked me how [...]
Es war für mich einer besonderen Wahrnehmung des Sondergleiches Kenntnis zunehmen von der Ereignisse des 6. Oktober in Bern die mir an der Küste der Atlantik, via Paris und ein Amerikanischen Schriftsteller erreichten: Gewalt auf die Strassen von Bern zwei Wochen vor die Wahlen!
Es wäre vorteilhaft für dieser Stadt und dieses Land wenn wir heute [...]
Today I got from the post office the mail that was held back while I was away and in it there was one of these remarkable spam letters that politicians get by the ton. To begin with it is a very non-green activity to waste so much paper to send mail to people who may [...]
Very recently I found myself in a reboot 8.0 t-shirt, oversized guerilla trousers and a ghutra over my shoulders shaking the hands of a few ministers in ties and suits. In the age of instant communication, physical logistics still fail and so it was that I arrived at the destination on time but my luggage [...]
