I actually want one for my kitchen. So if you don't need it in the end, I'll even come by and fetch it. Prenzlauer Berg, right?

john, i thought you lived in berlin. so how come you misspell "Hefeweizen"?

€100 is not the cost of a "mid-range home machine". I hightly doubt usable machines already start at that price tag.

Hey Joel,
I guess you'll be in Berlin for the 24c3 hacker congress starting in two days (why else would you be coming over right now, right?).
So if you're there, you'll learn of a lot of things to do recommended by the other people there. Hope to see you.

I agree with most of what has been said already (except Berliner Weisse, the flavoured beer, is usually served in summer and if you can get it now, it's a tourist thing for sure).

My suggestions: Museum of Technology, Tesla, c-base. Craphounds will like the flea market at Arena in the Treptow district (shameless link to my blog), every Saturday and Sunday.

Berlin's english language magazine is called Exberliner.

(And the underground zine mentioned in comment #31 is actually Stressfaktor.)

@muppet: it still is an excellent little synth. and my grey version does not lack the guitar grip either. (I must know -- I still play it regularly.)

for anyone into geek cakes, please also check out the commodore 64 cake my girlfriend made for my last birthday.

"siezed"?
