missing berlin

I had an awesome New Years, but it sounds like my friends who made it to CCC this year had an awesomer one. They’re all now obsessed by this 1996 Eurovision epic, Surfen Multimedia by the Eurocats. I can’t think of a better monument to Germany’s influence on global cyberculture.

(My Sacrificial New Year’s Resolution is to not say “awesome” so much.)
