Math with Brands, hilarious! More, a day with brands.

AWESOME!!! I keep watching the German goals of the last two matches and still get goose bumps every single time. And even more when I listen to "Seven Nation Army". The match was a real thriller from the start and even more when the TV signal broke down for ~6 minutes.

All goals semi-final


All German goals quarter-final


Funny story, Germany's most renowned TV news got our flag wrong

Happy Easter folks! Just yesterday I complained that there are literally zero Easter songs but tons of Christmas songs. Thanks to the weather craziness we can just rephrase all the Christmas songs now: e.g. I'm dreaming of a white Easter. I just love Easter in ALL its colors .

A look outside


What a ride!

Boring match until the last amazing quarter! NY Giants FTW (for the win)!!!

Less than a minute to go the Giants were behind and needed a touchdown, when this scene happened. This pass was key and put them into the position to score seconds before the end. Amazong pass!


I heard rumors about a Michael Jackson appearance during the Super Bowl, but he appeared... NOT. But the Jackson spirit was somehow a part of this year's Super Bowl experience . All Super Bowl ads can be watched here.

The raddest penguins in history! I just L O V E them . They're my boys.

Yes, it's a fake. But I love it!

Time to look back. It's been the first year since a while that I stayed home during the summer instead of going abroad. So I spent time with my friends and met Philip during his short visit, good times. Speaking of traveling, two great 2007 memories are, attending Martin's tech talk, and being at the Diggnation live taping in London. Two short trips with long term memory potential.

But actually I wanted to do a little unconvential review. Did you ever try to sum up a year by just referring to songs? Well, the songs that describe my 2007 best (in terms of mood, importance and times listened to) are:

• Flight Of The Conchords - You're so beautiful (FotC rules) UPDATED
• Gavin DeGraw - I don't want to be
• Tenacious D - Tribute (I became a big Tenacious D fan this year)
• Natasha Bedingfield - Soulmate

How does your 2007 soundtrack sound like? Comments...

I am looking forward to meeting lots of my 'Holm buddys at the Euro Cup in the Alps. Also, 2008 we'll launch youwote (this time for sure). And it is finally going to happen, I am coming close to the end of my study . Did I put that vague enough ? Sad news, my sister and her boyfriend will be moving away from Cologne .

Embrace 2008! May it bring joyful surprises into your life as 2007 has done it to mine.

Hej hej vänner!

It's been quiet here for a while. Looks as if I turned into a über-blogging-pösmunk . Due to popular demand (ok, due to my liking), here is the totally rad rocking santa again.

I wish all of you a merry Christmas and a happy new year, may you celebrate it with the people you love and care about.

To all my 'Holm bros and sis, I hope we meet in Austria and Switzerland the coming summer during the Euro Cup! Alp guys, prepare your apartments for some serious couch sharing.

Here are some cool new and old links for Christmas greetings and games. Some ecards might look familiar from your inbox .

Best costume ever. Apple Fanboys stole iPhone advertising displays and made customes out of them.



My super rad Halloween song 2007: Tenacious D - Tribute.



Happy Halloween!!!

Update: Latest news has it that it wasn't a medical chopper, but some law enforcment guys. There were two men rushing out of the chopper right after the landing. But they never came back. What a Halloween story. Orange pumpkins, orange choppers. Coincidence?

Cologne: Being a student isn't as easy anymore as it used to be. Traditionally teachers try to give no lessons on a Friday so that business students can stay home and have a nice long sleep. But not today. In a world where people are ambushed everywhere with guerilla marketing (subway hold-on straps in shape of lingerie) the good Friday sleep-in-the-day is ruined. Today even our military rescue chopper team does guerilla actions. Today at 9am a frakking rescue chopper set down on the playground in front of our home. White bling bling SUVs with spinners are nice, but landing your chopper is P I M P! Well the color job is way uncool, but hey it's a frakking chooper.

I really have no idea why this guy put his chopper down here. There is a big hospital just a sec away. As soon as he touched ground people came rushing in and behind every window you saw flashes as people in Pyjamas (like me) were making pics and vids of that weird event, hilarious!

The chopper just left while I am writing this. Ah nice... the whole place smells like gasoline. It totally remembers me of Apocalypse Now 'I love the smell of napalm in the morning.' Totally rad!

What do you think was behind all this? Write down your comments.

I've went to London on Oct 3rd to attend the Diggnation Live Filming. Check the pictures in the gallery or my facebook site. I arrived at Stansted and took the Express train to Liverpool Street. It took less than 24h and I was already home. I just came to London for the show. That's what you call a fan I guess. Everybody please check out Diggnation and TotallyRadShow (they were there, too). These are my two favorite weekly podcasts.

We got kicked out of the pub at 1h. I must say I belonged to the guys who joined the Pre-Drinks first and left the After-Drinks last. Afterwards I took the bus to Stansted around 2:40h. I arrived at the airport around 4h I guess. Stansted is the worst airport, you can't sleep there. The benches have fraking armrests for every seat, almost impossible to lie down. I took my plane back home at 8h. It was a kinda messed up night sleep-wise. But totally worth it!

Here are some video impressions.

To quote James Brown: "This is a man's world, this is a man's world - But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl".

I stumbled upon that awesomely hilarious and hot ad for a men's magazine.
That is definitely how a man's world would be like. Happy phone-number-hunting guys!

It has been a while since I last posted. Therefore here comes a hottie! It is not an insider clip anymore with over 2,6 Mio viewers but I didn't know of that video until I saw it on German TV news. I am a big hater of candidates TV duels. But this video sold me . Why isn't "she" running for office?


Update: Two more videos which you have to see.
Obama Girl vs McCain Mama


Obama Girl vs Giuliani Girl (thanks Jona for the hint)


As a side note. The US have one of the most embarrassing news landscape (read FOX), here is an example. Everybody who likes to see more, watch the movie "Outfoxed".

Hi guys! Last weekend I've been in Barcelona meeting Stockholm friends. Read all about it in our Stockholm blog (incl. pics).
