Looks like Google is gathering Street View data in Marburg right now. I’m not sure though why they think our district (which is located a few km outside the actual city and has less than 3.000 citizens) is worth filming.
Yes, they very likely filmed me which means I’m going to end up in Street View. I’ll probably ask them to remove my face though!

Just a short post about the new Star Trek. Our local cinema showed the English version today, just came back home from there. I was a little worried J.J. Abrams might ruin the Star Trek franchise with it (not that I’m a fan or anything) but was still hoping for a good sci-fi action flick in the worst case. Well let me say he did a better job than I expected and it turns out to be a pretty decent homage to the original series and a modern action movie at the same time. It has its flaws like using a very cheap trick to allow the story but overall it’s a respectable effort. Abrams managed to make fun (in a good sense) of some of the cheasier aspects of the series while still maintaining a high level of appreciation for its qualities. So, if you like sci-fi movies and/or Star Trek, go watch it.
