Part of a speech he held in 2005. Great visualisation of an inspiring speech. His book is still on my to do list.

NMZS & Danger Dan - Lebensmotto Tarnkappe
Das Album “Aschenbecher” läuft bei mir seit zwei Wochen auf Dauerrotation. Der Anlass dafür ist leider sehr traurig. NMZS hat sich vor rund einem Monat das Leben genommen. Mein Kumpel Bastian hat auf Crazewire das Album und seine Erlebnisse mit NMZS etwas genauer beschrieben.
Das Album ist nicht nur textlich brilliant und dafür erstaunlich eingängig, es erzählt auch noch eine runde Geschichte über das Leben mit dem Aschenbecher. Bei mir hat das direkt Erinnerungen an The Streets “A Grand Won’t Come For Free” geweckt. Hört es euch an, es lohnt sich!

Jon Hopkins - “Open Eye Signal”
Beautiful. To be watched on full screen.
This is quite insane and the problem has been following Mareen and Vivien for years, starting with her blog and studivz (R.I.P.). But when commercial interests come into play for example by collecting money over paypal it gets really sick.
In the past years, I have received a lot of emails and messages about others using mine or my sister Vivien’s photographs to catfish innocent internet users.
Their names were Kourtney Walsh (she was used to make a company look bigger, worked as a consultant and had a whole life as well), Fallon River Clark (Facebook won’t shut her down), Lena Mischke (fictional wife of an actual person, Aaron Mischke-Pearce who does exsist and lives and works in Munich now!), Benny / River Maddox (see comments), some Ashley and many more whose names I have already forgotten.
One of them was a cancer doctor and collected PayPal donations of people willing to help, others just broke hearts, received gifts from their lovers, met up with “a sent friend because the other person is in the hospital”, other ones threatened to hurt the family of the fooled ones if they spoke out to the public or police.
This happened to people in Mexico, the U.S., Germany, England, and many more – and these are just the ones who found out AND told me.One time, in 2010, my sister’s real profile and all her connections got deleted permanently after I had told Facebook that the fake character Maureen Fishinger was using her photo. Facebook is not responding ever, they simply don’t care about their mistakes or if they can’t see how something is wrong at first glance.
So far sogoodbad.I am not even diving deep here – I haven’t spent more time on the topic than hearing about it and maybe trying to tell facebook or whoever runs the sites.
There is probably much more about it. You may have more stories, and if you haven’t yet spoken out, go ahead and email me (don’t worry, you may use your real name before me).Four simple rules:
1) Please, never fall for anyone on the internet. Don’t tell them about your personal life in order to avoid making yourself vulnerable. 20% of Facebook profiles are fake.
2) If you see a story wrapped around images, do Google’s reverse image search (click the camera symbol).
3) Don’t forget to make lots of screenshots.
4) Also, please, let the people know you have found out AFTER you have reported them!
Love, Mareen
