Schnapszahl vs. Repdigit – 111,111 Plays on Last.FM

I can’t help myself, but I prefer the German term “Schnapszahl” (schnapps digit) to the mathematical “repdigit”. The latter would make more sense in my case if it were spelled “rapdigit”, because quite a few of the 111,111 plays I just hit at Last.FM have been rap and hip-hop songs.

Palo Alto – Virtuelle Plaetze

Wie ich einst in meinem 500. Qype-Beitrag schrieb, bin ich seit über 20 Jahren mit dem Internet beruflich und privat verbandelt.

Wenn irgendeine neue Community auftaucht, die interessant klingt, schaue ich mir sie kurz an – wobei ich mich (Tipp an Internet-Neulinge!) meist erst mal mit einer anderen E-Mail-Adresse als meiner privat und beruflich meistgenutzten registriere.

N.A.S.A.’s “Spirit of Apollo” Is a Contender for Best Hip Hop Album of the Year

Mein jüngster Last.FM-Blog-Beitrag:

I’ve been lucky enough to be able to listen to an advance copy of N.A.S.A.‘s album Spirit Of Apollo which will be released in the U.S. on February 17, 2009 (according to Amazon.com), and in Germany on February 13, 2009 (according to Amazon.de).

According to its label Anti, >> N.A.S.A is an ongoing creative collaboration between two lifelong music aficionados, Squeak E. Clean and DJ Zegon, and their friends, friends of friends and musical heroes. While N.A.S.A. stands for North America/South America and contains a number of superstar artists from both coasts of the US, it is about as far from a tension-building geographical showdown as a record can get.
