Amiga – 30th anniversary

22. July 201530. September 2015 Takuto

Tomorrow, exactly 30 years ago, the Amiga 1000 was introduced by Commodore International in New Yorks Lincoln center. It marked a significant point in history of personal computing as this computer was lightyears ahead then anything else. Only the Atari ST, released just weeks earlier, was roughly in the same class.

Baba Yetu

2. July 201530. September 2015 Takuto

Just found this interpretation of “Baba Yetu”, the theme song of Civilization IV. It is performed by the Angel City Chorale (Los Angeles City Choir): Yep – it’s cheesy but I like it ^^. I like epic choir music in general 🙂 Update: By far the best interpretation of Toto’s “Africa” I’ve ever heard!

18. June 201530. September 2015 Takuto

Seems like I am not the only one who appreciates old computers. I came across this article on Gizmodo.com earlier today. Although the text does not mention the exact model, there is a clue that this must be an A1000: They say that the school purchased it in 1985. At this point in time, the…

Journey to Berlin

16. June 201530. September 2015 Takuto

Poor but sexy. So they say. I had the opportunity to visit Berlin for five days. It was not my first visit but the last time I was there, I was too young to truly understand this city, its people and its society. One thing that was really striking: Berlin is poor. Not just a…
