Music, Monsters and a Beautiful Princess

Few things in live give greater pleasure than music.  So the music-addict in me was overjoyed when i got Sennheiser HD 595 headphones for my birthday!  I wanted those for years! ^^  Though i have to admit that i was a bit disappointing when opened the box.  They didn’t look very robust and the plastic felt a bit cheap.  But i use my headphones when i’m sitting in a chair or in bed, not in a war zone or on a jungle expedition.  So it’s not that big a deal, which brings me to the important part… the sound quality!  I plugged them in for a testdrive, started Bent – As You Fall (Micah’s Swollen Booty Mix) and boy was i in for a shock!  Not only is it a brilliant song to test your soundsystem, but the sound was so warm and you could hear so many details.  The last time i was this impressed with a soundsystem was in Sven Vath’s Cocoon club in Germany.  The “hard” work of ripping all my cd’s to flac and high bitrate ogg’s really pays of with the sennheisers! ^^  I “tested” it with other songs, to see how it handled other music genres, and my precious new headphones passed with flying colors.  From Beethoven to Sasha and Digweed, Radiohead or Ricardo Villalobos, it all sounds so beautiful.  Highly recommended!

That brings us to the monsters part of this blog.  I started designing a microblogging app for Twitter, Identi.ca and Jaiku.  At the moment it still only is a terminal app.  To my own defense, it is a working terminal app!   You can post to twitter and see your timeline, but i’m working “hard” on the graphical interface.  Trying and figuring things out like “to webkit or not to webkit, …”. Definitely To Be Continued!
