JazzKamikaze at Jeriko

One of my cousins tipped me about this band that I hadn't heard about before. And what a great tip. JazzKamikaze - what kind of name is that on a band - delivered a powerful (muscle jazz) and intense jazz session based on material from their two released albums, Mission I and Travelling At The Speed Of Light.

Jeriko on JazzKamikaze:

JazzKamikaze bildades 2005 med ett tydligt mål: att vinna musiktävligen Young Jazz in Denmark. Det gjorde de. [...] Titeln på gruppens färska skiva Traveling at the Speed of Sound speglar den dramatiskt snabba utvecklingen genom att förena tung och aggressiv muskeljazz med en mörkare och mera eftertänksam sida som förtydligar de nyanser och kontraster som finns i gruppens musik.

Need more jazz like this. Now.

El Laberinto del Fauno by Guillermo del Toro

El Laberinto del Fauno is an interesting and beautiful creation from Guillermo del Toro. He succeeds in blending reality with imagination, human beings with fairy tale creatures, vicious fascists with fauns.

You get the picture. It's a good mix, a nice blend. The environments in the movie are stunning. It's actually a bit like the movie Mirrormask.

Geneva sky

The sky, the lake, and the mountains in the background, just before it was time to go to the airport.

Nature and more nature

Tigers frozen in time at Musée d'Histoire naturelle in Geneva.

This corridor gave me a strange feeling; it's almost as if it had been taken from a science fiction story.

History portal in Geneva

Musée d'Art et d'Histoire in Geneva is a true history portal. You can easily spend a few hours in the museum - it's huge. And it's worth it - not only we thought so.

Impressive paintings.

Pre-Internet communication form. Handwritten, with beautiful paintings.

There's even a cannon hall in the museum.

Indian cuisine in Geneva

Dining with Erik at Restaurant Himalaya, an Indian restaurant located at Rue de Neuchâtel 18. Even though the restaurant is a bit run-down, the food they serve is delicious. The place is definitely worth a visit if you are in Geneva.

CERN presentation at LIFT

CERN, a european organization for nuclear research located near Geneva, held a short intro to their research. Questions about dark matter, alternate dimensions, etc, popped up.

Deep field image from the Hubble space telescope. Higgs particle - will knowledge about it finally enable us to study the multiverse instead of the universe?!
