First set of Atlanta pictures after the TeaBaggers. I knew about the Fox Theater but I didn’t know it’s that cool. I wish I had a chance to go inside to take some pictures of the interior design as well. As must seen when in Atlanta.

Hello gang. I’m back in Valencia and somewhat well rested. They trip back was exhausting but made it in one full piece .

The US trip was awesome but way too short. Took tons of pictures, so get ready for them – they will be posted within the next couple of days.

I also wanted to thank following RGS readers … Ismail and Henri for donating a little something to make my trip a little bit more enjoyable. You guys rock!

So first day and I’m already busy ( and still very jet lagged) yesterday the ATP tennis tournament Open500 started in Valencia  today got to see Andy Ram and Alberto Martin play. This event also was the inauguration for Calatrava’s new building called the Agora aka The Pregnant Oyster of Valencia.

More pictures I took: ATP Open500 Valencia 2009

Thank you again for sticking around even though I haven’t been blogging much. NOW … back to business!!!

Backwards digital retro frame for Mac lovers.

Meet the first ever analog "digital" photo frame. By "digital," we mean it has a Mac software window silk-screened onto it. By hand. Which is amusing when you think about it. It’s a manually-applied representation of a computer interface which holds your printed image which was probably taken on a digital camera. You don’t have to worry about the LCD panel on this one; it’s a piece of transparent glass. You don’t have to register it, there are never any software updates required, and if the power goes out, it continues to function.

Wooden photo frame measures 5 3/4 inches wide by 4 3/4 inches high and holds a 4 3/4 inch by 3 3/4 inch photo. Includes a sheet of paper in the frame to represent the transparent background in Photoshop, and a pressboard kickstand-style stand.

From the outside the Marquis Marriott Atlanta looks like any other high rise hotel except for the belly curved sites. Once you step in the only thing there is left to say is BWOAH! I thought the Marquis Marriott in Times Square NYC is breathtaking but the Marquis Marriott Atlanta is truly unique and I never have seen anything like this before. It feels organic and looks like a spaceship and the Noak’s Ark at the same time.

Made my very first contact with teabaggers. Yeah! And that on the very first day in the US. I secretly hoping to see some but so soon…. nice! I was on my way to the CNN HQ and there they were holding up their signs.

But guys, come on .. Fox news? There is nothing news about it.

More teabaggers:

CNN HQ was fun and worth the $13 … next time I will do that VIP tour where you actually get to go inside the studio and newsroom. I was wondering if any CNN news editor has ever been on RGS.

Valencia is holding it’s very first German Beerfest – the Oktoberfest. Of course we went and it was bizarre. The tent was put up in the center of the bullfight arena. No German Blasmusik but almost as crazy as the real thing.

I’m German and it’s a shame I never made it to Munich for the Oktoberfest. But it’s kind of cool to get my Oktoberfestvirginity taken at that occasion here in Spain.
