Legacy

"Legacy" - Vermaechtnis, Erbe, Hinterlassenschaft.

Thanks to Conscientious for the timely pointer to the remarkable Magnum in Motion essay "Chernobyl Legacy": "...twenty years ago, the then Soviet nuclear power station in Chernobyl blew up. I remember this event very vividly; back then I was living in what used to be West Germany, and part of the radioactive cloud made it all the way to Germany ...In any case, watch the Magnum in Motion essay Chernobyl Legacy to see the results of the world's worst nuclear disaster yet. I have to warn you, though, some of the images are pretty rough."

Ruminating

"Ruminating" - Gruebeln, Nachsinnen.

I was never a particularly big fan of Neil Young's music, but this seems noteworthy:

and
Neil Young's protest album heads to Internet first.

Domain

"Domain" - Domaene, Gebiet, Bereich, Sphaere, Reich, Staatsgut, Landbesitz, Herrengut.

Mainly out of curiosity I finally registered my own domain name www.ullimueller.net using namecheap. Thanks to Jeff, who is subletting parts of his HostGator account to me, setup was a breeze. I was wondering what the process would be like and it turned out much easier than anticipated. I also started a new Photoblog which should be a fun project. The setup was equally smooth and I have to thank everybody at Pixelpost.

Both designs, the main entrance www.ullimueller.net and the Photoblog are still works in progress, but I am quite happy with them already. Let’s see where this goes...

Synopsis

Synopsis - Synopse, Zusammenfassung, Uebersicht, Abriss.

I have commented on Mike Johnston's writing a number of times, here's another wonderful example that, to me, goes far beyond discussing photography:

"... All of her (Diane Arbus) pictures, however, in one way or another, vector in on the peculiar trials—the strangeness, even the horror, really—of being a consciousness, a self, trapped inside a particular animal body with its particular compulsions and restrictions and stuck with the strange, sad, or brave ways we have to settle on presenting it to the outer world."

Attaboy

"Attaboy" - Bravo!, so ist's recht! Das ist mein Junge!

Over the years I heard this expression off and on and (as it turns out) correctly thought of it as some kind of an encouragement (simply because of its typical upbeat pronunciation) but was never quite sure. I always heard it as "a da boy" which was puzzling, so I finally had to ask a coworker for the spelling in order to look it up.
