I really like horror movies. It’s been a while when I read about 1408 on a German horror movie fansite and saw a trailer but I was almost instantly caught by it. It wasn’t because it’s based on a short story by Stephen King, although I love King and read quite a few of his […]

They claim to achieve around 10% of the host’s performance and look forward for further improvements and also for publishing the sourcecode under […]

I’m looking forward to attend the season opener on 29th of September in London/UK between the Anaheim Ducks and the L.A. Kings. Because I own a Chris Pronger jersey I thought this might offer a great chance to get it signed by Prongs.
Yesterday and again today I tried to send the Ducks an email to […]

Hi, my name is Urinella Polanski and I am Alexander Langer’s avatar in Linden Labs’ virtual online world ‘Second Life‘ (SL).
