Im wahren Leben ist die kontrollierte Abgabe von Marihuana oftmals eine medizinisch notwendige Methode, kranken Menschen zu helfen. In dreizehn Staaten ist die Vergabe für Betroffene glücklicherweise legal. Speziell dafür hat es eine iPhone App in den App Store geschafft. Ein Zeichen, dass man bei Apple doch genauer hinsieht und den Freigabeprozeß für Apps verbessert.

Pink Floyd’s Moon-Landing Jam Session
David Gilmour of Pink Floyd was recently asked by The Guardian what he was doing 40 years ago during Apollo 11’s flight to the Moon. Mr. Gilmour explained that the band was part of the BBC’s live coverage of the event:
We were in a BBC TV studio jamming to the landing. It was a live broadcast, and there was a panel of scientists on one side of the studio, with us on the other. I was 23.
The programming was a little looser in those days, and if a producer of a late-night programme felt like it, they would do something a bit off the wall. Funnily enough I’ve never really heard it since, but it is on YouTube. They were broadcasting the moon landing and they thought that to provide a bit of a break they would show us jamming. It was only about five minutes long. The song was called Moonhead — it’s a nice, atmospheric, spacey 12-bar blues.

The colorful foam clogs appeared in 2002, just as the country was recovering from a recession. Brash and bright, they were a cheap investment (about $30) that felt good and promised to last forever. Former president George W. Bush wore them. Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler wore them. Your grandma wore them. They roared along with the economy, mocked by the fashion world but selling 100 million pairs in seven years.
