Change

A few days ago a snapshot through my study room window:

“The world is closing in and did you ever think
That we could be so close like brothers
The future’s in the air I can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change…”

Frog or Prince, KISS me!

Click on picture to enlarge and check my kiss-result (in German).
To explain the result (quickly) in English: I am the greatest kisser. :P My kisses are just a dream, always and everywhere. No kiss is like the other, I know that I’m a good kisser and I can use the right dose for a soft kiss (to say I love you) or for a passionated one that means: I want you. Any questions? ;o)

Yeah, I miss to kiss That’s probably why I came to this enty. I also read something weird about American state laws a while ago. There was one law about the kiss in public…but before some general facts about one of the most wonderful things in life – the kiss:

1. To kiss is healthy. With one kiss you exchange between 300 and 22000 bacteria with your partner. This protects you against infectious diseases.
2. About 35 face muscles are in action during a kiss. (For laughing you only use 17 muscles)
3. A normal kiss’ pressure: 0.5 kg. A passionated kiss can have a pressure of 15 kg.
4. Only 8% women and 48% men kiss with open eyes.
5. Your body produces Adrenalin and Insulin.
6. A kiss = 20 kcal. less (per minute).
7. Kisses produces more saliva, what is good against caries when it connects with the enamel.
To be continued…maybe.

Online I found the following American laws concerning kisses, but I don’t know if they are really true…I cannot believe it!!! So it probably needs another check:
1. In Iowa, USA, it is against the law to kiss for more than five minutes. (this is for Maren)
2. In Logan County, Colorado, USA, it is still illegal to kiss a woman while she is asleep. (haha, great)
3. In Eureka, Nevada, USA, it is still illegal for men with mustaches to kiss women. (the industry for shavers must be big there)
4. In Halethorpe (Maryland) it is not allowed to kiss s.o. longer than for one second. (poor people)
5. In Florida it is illegal for husbands to kiss the breasts of their wifes. (better don’t marry then, hehe)
To be continued…

I thought there is one state in the USA where kiss in public is prohibited, but I couldn’t find a source online. If you know the state, please let me know ;o)

KISS means also: keep it short and simple! (e.g. web development/design/usability matters)

Ok, I stop my kiss mood now, before it gets worse ;o)

Grown-up

Thanks for the first five people who voted for my blog’s language. People who know me are invited to write their vote additionally in the comments. That would be easier for me to see, if the voting is from (only) new visitors or from friends/returning readers.
Anyway, I use this entry to thank Mr. telekommander for his repeated effort helping me with technical blog software problems. Last time he helped me with getting rid of validation errors and getting the right css for my search form in the header (so that there is click-safe area). This time he could solve my problems with the weird white space that I had under my blog posts always when I posted photos. It was a tiny code line from my gallery plugin that caused it. The same code line in another of my plugins, the subscribe-to-comments plugin, caused lots of white space under the comment form. The whole white space problem could only be seen with the Firefox browser, but it was getting on my nerves, a lot. I don’t like weird code happenings. I’m a perfectionist. You know. I would have never find the bad code by myself, I guess. For nerds: It was the "clear:both" line in the css. Thanks for your help, telekommander. He is one of the very nice helping guys in the wordpress.de forum.
During my time searching for (more) code improvement in my blog I found out that, since I upgraded to the new Internet Explorer version 7, my smileys in the comments form still aren’t clickable. I don’t think that my few comment writers don’t really care about using smileys (ok, except for maudchen, sorry hon’). I know that there are as many smiley haters as lovers, but when I visit other blogs, I mostly don’t like the blog owner’s usage of smileys. It’s often too much. You might think I’m strange, because I often used smileys (I’d say only the beautiful ones, hehe). Honestly, I think they are only used to show the writers feeling or if the writing was ironic or not. I thought, well, not long until I’m thirty, maybe I should stop with expressing my mood with these (cute,funny,annoying) face-icons. It will clear up my text (some of you will find it boring) and the page load is a little bit better. I think I can express everything I want to say without smileys
And to show my mood (if I want to), I now have myMood at the end of every post anyway.
Wow, I cannot believe that I wrote this. Poor poor happy waving smiling jumping kissing little things…You’re banned from fool around here. I’m grown-up now. Unfortunately. Always childish inside. Psst.

Vote for blog language

Hello my dear readers,

I still think about setting up a new blog in German (since I know that a lot of my friends don’t speak English well enough to understand or they are just too lazy to read English …).
Another possibility would be to stay with this blog here and switch to the German language from now on (?)…hmmm….but then my international friends cannot read it anymore (but maybe they don’t care? who knows…).
I also could write English and German posts in rotation…then I don’t need to set up a new blog. But isn’t it confusing for my readers when the language changes from post to post?

I cannot decide and therefore I want to ask YOU.
On the left side you see my new voting panel.
Please give me your opinion/your voice and VOTE!!

Thank you. Danke. Grazie. Gracias. Merci beaucoup. Takk. Tack. Hvala.
