Too Far Afield

It seems that German whistle-blowers recently discovered Wikileaks. While you have to take into account a confidential part of the Schäfer Bericht, most documents published by Wikileaks didn’t have a direct relation to Germany so far. But last week they published a document that is said to contain network blocks used by the German intelligence service Bundesnachrichtendienst and as of this morning there are a number of internal reports on failures in the nuclear power plant Krümmel. The Krümmel nuclear power plant is located at the Elbe river, just south-east of Hamburg, so this is especially interesting to me. I even sailed past a bank of fog caused by hot Krümmel cooling water a few years ago.

The website of the Obama Biden Transition Project is now live. Significantly, the domain name is change.gov. And while there is not much up there for now, you can already apply for a non-career job in the new administration and, perhaps more interesting, share your vision of a new America.
