My life while the world spins madly on...

Thoughts arising while working as a scientist or just randomly spinning from my brain.

I don't give a damn, I'm happy as a clam, nobody knows me at all

SplitsTree?!?

Anybody seen my copy of Huson's #SplitsTree ? Can't seem to find it but need it urgently to show Darwin was right with the #barnacles ...

maybe this is actually part of the #problem,

that the #Czech Republic has to tell people, that it is not the #Chechen Republic.
Although of course the former one is just one of these old european countries, while the latter one is part of the Russian Federation ruled by a peace loving sportsman with a likeness for big cats and ageing football (soccer if you like) stars. Very confusing...

Allergy #ENCODE - big science please help

This time of the year my allergy is really wearing me down. Damn the f... trees. ;-) Can't the ENCODE people invent some cure real fast?!

...

Oh, hmmm, I forgot, they can't - no hay-fever for HeLa cells. Stupid, stupid me...

black gold

no way to get back to work after Mittagessen without a proper cup of Espresso.

It is Espresso, even though it says Cappuccino. Odd enough, write Espresso on the iPad, select and 'Suggest' and it suggests Expresso. Is that the spelling for the flavourless brew they offer in the US?

no time

From today I am officially existing/living in no-time. As I never appear to have some, I think I might as well make the transition.

I think I can actually pinpoint the moment I get lost, just when Kramnik says "Queen d4".

IBRA

himovic... the man himself. :D

...


Ah, come on Wolfgang, this penalty was so forged. Well, now Ibrahimovic is going to do 4 in Camp Nou. ;-)


....

Not that I like PSG and the Middle Eastern money thing, I just like personalities like Ibrahimovic. Not that he is even a likable character, but at least not streamlined as all the German players nowadays.
