Open Access – more than you ever wanted to know about it
The title above sounds derogative, but it's actually praise: This great articale really goes deep into OA, its history, and the difficulties it's facing. Anyway, I stick to not reviewing for Elsevier any more.

Mein Elektromobil “Twizy” hat 10.000 km erreicht
Wie ich hier
http://michaelbach.de/misc/emobil/
erzähle, bin ich von meinem kleinen Twizy nach wie vor begeistert, und habe damit in knapp 3 Jahren jetzt gerade 10.000 km erfahren.

Typography & SciFI
If you really have nothing better do do, and {like me) like a little typography, this is the hell of a way to waste time!

ARVO in Seattle – sleepless
ARVO was great, learned a lot. Photo from my hotel room, with things that were supposed to entertain me when sleep ended – typically at 3:00 in the morning…

Under water
This morning I took, again, my action cam into my natural swimming pond http://michaelbach.de/misc/teich/ . That's where I caught this (to my eye) beautiful picture. It shows a water lily leaf growing towards the surface (bottom) and its mirror image, reflected in the water surface (top).

Repaired my Guitar Amplifier
I'm quite happy with my Yamaha THR 10 V2 <http://goo.gl/tMAlM0>, not just for home practice but also on stage. Great sound! There are 2 major shortcomings:
• The DC power input at the back is rather flimsy. The amplifier needs to topple only once, and it's broken. After several attempts, I now refitted a standard 6 mm jack. A little problematic to have 15 V at the same connector type as the guitar signal, but that seems minor to me compared to braking a smaller connector two times.
• There is no way to connect a foot pedal. That seriously limits life performances performance.
For those of you who also want to tamper inside, the photos show how to open the case. 5 self-tapping screws with recessed cross (2 at bottom, 3 at backside) and 4 Allen screws "Ikea size" :).
Hours later, correcting myself. There are foot pedal hacks:

Brick Wall Illusion
This (at least) five years old image has gone viral. Prompted by several, I have now added it to my #opticalillusion collection. With solution, of course!
You won't find any interesting object in the image below, but here http://michaelbach.de/ot/cog-brickWall/
