Painting Minis (Cherubs)
I found a new way to pass the time when I’m not working or preparing for my diploma thesis (which sould be complete by February or so, with a hopefully not all too optimistic estimate): Painting miniatures. Actually, I did that before, around 10 years ago I had a Warhammer 40k army (Chaos Space Marines) [...]
Still Alive
I’m still alive – the reason why I’m not blogging much lately is a combination of me working more for Uni and less for the job, many new shiny board games (Last Night on Earth, most notably, but also Humans!!!, Munchkin Quest and MidEvil), Left 4 Dead having come out, seeing more friends, and in [...]
Samuel Schmid is leaving
Disclaimer: Swiss politics, so many links lead to German pages. Samuel Schmid, member of the Swiss Federal Council (Bundesrat), is stepping back as per December 31th, as he just announced 10am this morning. It was, as sad to say as it is, inevitable. The SVP, which was Schmids party until the end of last year, [...]

NaN votes for Obama!
The US citizens have their voting machines, us here in Switzerland have our big media. Since they’re so much more professional than us bloggers (yep, they are, I have the links to prove it, in German), I’m sure they can tell us the current standings when it comes to the US election? Of course they [...]
Totally Zombies!!!
Quite some time ago, I bought this game, Zombies!!! – yep, that’s three exclamation marks. To say it with Terry Pratchett, “Multiple exclamation marks are a sure sign for a diseased mind!” Considering we’re talking about zombies, that makes sense, too. Particularly if the game has the slogan, “This one’s a no-brainer!” If you wonder [...]
