As we were driving by a railway station in the Berner Oberland (Switzerland) we saw a steam engine being prepared for a trip. I screamed that we had to stop and go back. We got to the station in time to see a wedding party boarding the steam train for an excursion.
I just had to write a song about the experience. It’s on YouTube: Steam Train Wedding.

Just in case you have not seen this yet. I seem to know all these people.
More when I recover from my jet lag.
Swiss Airlines just started a blog about flying and their operations. The first post was Swiss International Air Lines: Minding the network (SFO 1) is about scheduling flights. It was quite fascinating.
Another great source of information on flying is Patrick Smith’s Salon column “Ask the Pilot“. Patrick even answered one of my questions (about how flights are controlled over areas where there is no radar coverage, e.g. over the Atlantic Ocean). His explanations are clear and I really enjoy the fact that he says exactly what is on his mind (see some of his columns on security!).
The second Swiss Blog was on preparations for starting service in San Francisco. Of course I asked if they were making any special arrangements for “cows who come to San Francisco with flowers in their horns” but no response yet!
Last fall IKEA set up a truck with their catalog cover furniture minus people at the MuseumsQuartier. Passers-by could have their photo taken in the scene. Thinking quickly I went downstairs into the U-Bahn station and asked to borrow the Mozart Kugel (a type of candy) man. Back upstairs to the photo shoot and now, here it is, two of Vienna’s musical geniuses together on the same stage!

Nice article from Salon on social media:
What the iPad means for social media
And, don’t forget my music video Psycho (Social) Networker on YouTube.
