The topic for week 4 for Sari’s Projekt 52 (German):
Contemporary witness (expressly not necessarily a person).
Easy for me to find a motif, just get on my balcony and I had my constructural contemporary witness:
Of course I modified the colors a little…
Sari at Mondgras has started a nice photo (or drawing) project: Projekt 52 which is about shooting a (new!) photo about a given topic.
Read more (in German) at Sari’s general info – topic overview with photo links – all participants.
Since I didn’t enter right away, here are three photos at once:
…but it could be implemented a little better sometimes.
Mi. 21:23: E-mail with dispatch confirmation of a shop (emphasis mine):
Immediately after the order is placed, you have the possibility to track the shipment’s status online.
http://tracking.[…]
Important notice!
It may be that your package number is known to the system only up to two days after dispatch handover and thus only then its course can be tracked.
Strictly speaking, you might even say that this is not really contradictory. It certainly isn’t practical, though.
The rest is rather banal:
I checked on Thu at about 19:00: no status. Could the package arrive today, then? Or can’t it? No. And also Thu ca. 18:00: no status. Only Thu ca. 22:00: status from Mi. 20:35: “Shipment handled in dispatch center” (everything in my translation, by the way).
Fri ca. 10:00: status from Fri 4:45: “The shipment has gone on tour.” (Only this last status was shown.)
Fri ca. 13:00: status from Fri 10:15: “The shipment has gone on tour.” By the way, where can you buy tickets for the tour? Who’s the supporting act? 
Fri ca. 14:30: package arrived.
Others are a little more extensive… but alright, as long as the products arrive safe and reasonably fast, it’s fine with me. And when I find topics to write about that are more interesting than this, it’s even finer with me.
This is for a German blog carnival about hobby photographers, not much point in translating it…
Jens Hellmeier interessiert sich in seiner Blog-Parade für die Hobbyfotografen…
Wenn ich mich für eine DSLR entscheiden sollte, denke ich an ein “normales” und ein Tele-, später evtl. ein Makro-Objektiv.
Und ich möchte auch auf meine noch bis einschließlich Montag laufende Blog-Parade “Musik des Jahres 2007” hinweisen.

The celebrity lookalike search at MyHeritage.com is making its rounds again – e.g. here at Nadine‘s –, and since I didn’t publish anything about that before, I’ll do that now, and with a quite current photo:
So I – on this photo – am supposed to look at 74% like Wesley Snipes, at 71% Alexis Denisof (I’d like to get to know his Aly, too^^), at 70% Richard Gere, and with lower percentages like a few others (including only one woman). I’m actually quite satisfied with that, it could have been much worse.
On an older photo (with larger glasses), by the way, it was mostly Elton John and Yitzhak Rabin.
Interesting that Mr Denisof’s character’s first name on Angel was Wesley… certainly the Powers That Be must be behind that.
Also interesting to whom Pope Gregory XIII, who is (currently…) to be seen on my avatar/title image, is said to be looking alike: Angelina Jolie, Liz Taylor, Gary Cooper, Liza Minelli and others:
