Pandora’s kitchen

November 24, 2013 by antdina

In 2005, Tim Westergren introduced the online world to the music genome project. Little known then, this ad-subsidized radio station would play music in tune with your mood and taste.

Some foods you never want to put down

November 3, 2013 by antdina

Street festivals invite experimentation. They feed curiosity. Stall after stall, hand-crafted goods sparkle under incandescent lights which are strung together with a single wire. These soon-to-be presents beg to be taken home and shared with loved ones. Southern Germany and Austria has perfected this tradition with their Christkindlmarkt.
