Roland Brückner from Berlin draws. For his art he chose cards, like the ones other people are using to learn words or organize informations. The best is: When you write about Roland on your blog, he will sent you a card, that he has made specially for you. And it cleary shows that this is not some fast - like we would say in Germany - Krikelkrakel - but a picture based on quite some thinking about you and who you are.

I was taking part in this on march 25th. with this post and already forgot about it. Now I have found this in my postbox:


Well, on my german blog I was giving myself a try to do a proper interpretation of the picture and the ones of you who are able to understand German should read it there. But to keep it short: The person shown in the drawing is surrounded by duties which are symbolized by the little checkmarks around its head. Even though his inner self - the face on the stomac - is positive and optimistic - the person stands hunched and whishes to have a third arm, that could stand for things like “help” or “new power”. I enjoy this picture very much and to be honest also recognize myself a little in it.

So, if somebody is interested to know more about the artist and his work he should move along to the blog of the project recordsheet.blogspot.com as well as to his personal blog roland-brueckner.blogspot.com.

I am really delighted about Roland`s talent, his idea to use the medium blog for it and first of all the constancy and commitment he shows.

Thank you, Roland.

I was quite suprised to find a fake cam in Hamburg yesterday. From the distance it looked quite real but a look from a closer distance discovers that it is just made from cardboard.

This lecture of the American brain scientist Jill Bolte Taylor is really moving. Taylor suffered herself from a stroke in 1996. Luckily Markus Trapp has pointed to the video of the lecture in his German Blog textundblog.de.

Well first I like to present the blueprint of the new logo of this blog. It should stand for optimism and journalism at the same time and I think, my graphic designer so far did a great job. Now he needs to do just some small changes and give the smiley a face. Then I will have a real cool logo, that I can use with the new template of this blog.

I have found three templates, that I could imagine using for the re-design: “Breaking-News“, “Blue Zinfandel� and “Simple Theme Cosmin“.

So, to get an impression from my readers, I have installed a poll in my German blog in this entry. Please feel free to enter it and vote for the theme that you can imagine to fit the most to my blog. Thanks.

Roland Brückner from Berlin loves to draw, as you can see on his MySpace-page. Some time ago I found his page recordsheet.blogspot.com and wanted to join as well, putting a card on my blog and afterwards getting a special card from him. Just that meanwhile he started a new page lindas-ex.blogspot.com. So now people, check it out and enjoy the pictures! There is the card. I have done my part. I am curious if I the Optimistic Journalist will get his own card as well and how soon that will be.
