<p><em>wienerpost goes mobile!</em></p>
<p>Wir freuen uns, dass es <a href="http://www.wienerpost.at">wienerpost</a> ab sofort auch in der Mobilversion gibt, d.h. optimiert für iPhone, iPod Touch und Google Android Handys &#8211; und somit einfach leichter lesbar unterwegs.</p>
<p>Den Plan gab&#8217;s schon länger, allerdings konnte sich niemand so recht aufraffen, das durch Google AdSense gescheffelte Vermögen in <a href="http://appmakr.com/">AppMakr</a> zu investieren ;)<br />
Aber nun haben die Kollegen von Zeit im Blog 21 <a href="http://www.zib21.com/in-eigener-sache/ab-sofort-zib21-fur%E2%80%99s-smart-phone/">vorgehüpft</a>, wie&#8217;s geht: Dank <a href="http://www.bravenewcode.com/products/wptouch/">Brave New Code</a> gibt es ab sofort Mobilität für jedermann!</p>
<p>Wir hoffen, Ihnen macht das genauso viel Freude wie uns. Und falls jemand noch weitere derart praktische Anregungen hat: Wir sind ganz Ohr!</p>
<p>P.S. Wenn Sie die Web-Version bevorzugen, auch kein Problem: Einfach hinunter scrollen und den Schalter &#8220;Mobile Theme&#8221; switchen.</p>

<p>Shit happens. In einem Versuch, die Dinge zu vereinfachen und die nette WIENER-Facebookseite mittels <a href="http://klauseck.typepad.com/prblogger/2009/06/facebook-vanity-url.html">Vanity URL</a> leichter auffindbar zu machen, hat sich irgendwo ein grober Schnitzer eingeschlichen. Fazit: Die Seite ist dzt. nicht aufrufbar.</p>
<p>Der Support ist informiert und der schuldige <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%BCmmster_anzunehmender_User">DAU</a> (=ich) blickt zerknirscht auf seine Schuhspitzen. Wir hoffen, dass sich das Problem in den nächsten Tagen lösen lässt und entschuldigen uns für die Verwurschtelung.</p>
<p>Danach wird &#8211; so Gott <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg">Zuckerberg</a> will &#8211; die WIENER Facebook Seite unter der schönen URL www.facebook.com/wiener.online aufrufbar sein.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-full wp-image-1141 alignright" src="http://www.wienerpost.at/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/martinklein.jpg" alt="Martin Klein, Birgit Denk und Fabian Burstein" width="154" height="151" />Hansi Lang erzählte über ein Jahr lang aus seinem Leben, Fabian Burstein schrieb es auf. Was ursprünglich eine „musikalische Lesereise“ werden sollte, fand im August 2008 mit Langs Tod ein plötzliches Ende. Nun holt sich Burstein mit Birgit Denk und Martin Klein zwei Musiker ins Boot, die Langs Songs neu interpretieren. Vor allem Kleins gigantisches Klavierkönnen wird den Abend zum Erlebnis machen und Songs wie „Keine Angst“ oder „Ich will wieder gut sein“ von einer völlig neuen Seite zeigen.

<p>Christoph Waltz (53) ist der Hero der Stunde – und alle, alle wollen Sie plötzlich von seinem Erfolg naschen, sogar die Laienspieltruppe der österreichischen Innenpolitik: Kulturministerin <a href="http://bka.gv.at/site/infodate__18.01.2010/6890/default.aspx#id37864">Claudia Schmied etwa, die sein Talent schon dem „Reichtum der österreichischen Filmwirtschaft“</a> zuzählte; oder Bundeskanzler Faymann, der einen Waltz-Oscar schon lange vor dessen Vergabe als „Ansporn für alle österreichischen Kulturschaffenden“ am Horizont glitzern sah, weil Waltz-Lobhudeln seit dessen Golden Globe-Triumph  in der „Krone“ zitabel war. Man kann sich ausmalen, was der geborene Wiener Waltz für derlei Erfolgsschmarotzerei übrig hätte: ein zynisches Grinsen mit leicht gespitzten Lippen und sanft hochgezogen Augenbrauen.</p>
<p>Neo-Patrioten mit Hang zur Heiligenverehrung mag das schmerzen, aber Christoph Waltz hat mit seiner Heimat nur noch wenig am Hut. Man muss lange in den Archiven wühlen, um auf Berichte zu stoßen, in denen er sie überhaupt eines Wortes würdigt. Wie 1998, in einem Gespräch mit der deutschen Fimzeitschrift <a href="http://www.cinema.de/">„Cinema“</a>: „Der echte Wiener“, befand er da, „ist aus Schleim gemeißelt. Wenn er einem rechts die Hand gibt, hat er hinterm Rücken das Messer versteckt.“ Soviel zur Heimattreue des Christoph Waltz.  Ließe sich irgendwo eine Prise abhängiger Liebe im gepflegten Hass entdecken, könnte man seine Österreich-Beziehung vielleicht auf Thomas Bernhard&#8217;schem Niveau ansiedeln, aber danach sucht man in seinen Interviews vergeblich. Wenn es sie geben sollte, so spricht er nicht  darüber. Wie über so vieles.</p>
<p>Wann immer man als Journalist versucht, Christoph Waltz in Gespräche zu locken, die nichts mit seiner Arbeit zu tun haben, holt man sich eine blutige Nase beim Abprall an der ihn umgebenden Mauer aus kühler Arroganz und beißender Intelligenz. „Auf private Fragen reagiert er, als habe man ihm eine Handvoll Ameisen in den Nacken gestreut“, erzählt eine bekannte deutsche Filmjournalistin, die deshalb schon ihr Fett wegbekam, „wirklich offen erlebt man ihn nur, wenn es um die Schauspielerei geht.“</p>
<p>Bühne und Filmset bedeuten eben schlicht alles für Christoph Waltz, nicht mehr und nicht weniger. „Arbeit spielt eine wesentlich größere Rolle in unserem Leben als nur Geld zu verdienen“, philosophierte er einmal, „Arbeit ist das, was man macht mit seinem Leben. Und meine Arbeit muss sich für mein Leben lohnen, nicht nur löhnen.“ Damit erübrigt sich auch jede Frage nach seinem Zuhause. „Immer da, wo mich die Arbeit hintreibt“, lautet die logische Antwort &#8211; bis auf weiteres also  Hollywood, Los Angeles. Unter anderem. Denn Waltz arbeitet auch in London und in Berlin, wo seine derzeitige Lebensgefährtin,  <a href="http://www.imdb.de/name/nm0999492/">Judith Holste</a>, mit der gemeinsamen Tochter (7) lebt. Ja, das klingt verwirrend.</p>
<p>Wer also ist dieser Mann, der jetzt Vollbart trägt, weil er nach seinem Epochal-Erfolg in <a href="http://www.inglouriousbasterds-movie.com/">„Inglourious Basterds“</a> schon in der nächsten Hollywood-Produktion Sigmund Freud verkörpert? Wer war er, ehe er für die großen US-Studios über Nacht zum heißen Blockbuster-Tip wurde, ohne seinen Ruf als grandioser Charakterdarsteller einzubüßen? Spurensuche:</p>
<p>Aufgewachsen in einer Wiener Künstlerfamilie – von den Urgroßeltern an waren alle am Theater, als Schauspieler, Bühnenbildner, der Stiefvater ist Komponist. Theaterluft umgibt den kleinen Christoph von morgens bis abends, Große wie Attila Hörbiger, Paula Wessely, Käthe Gold oder Regisseur Fritz Kortner gehen bei ihm zu Hause ein und aus. Das prägt.</p>
<div id="attachment_1124" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.wienerpost.at/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/waltz2.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1124 " title="waltz2" src="http://www.wienerpost.at/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/waltz2-300x280.jpg" alt="Filmpremiere in Berlin (Foto: SpreePix)" width="300" height="280" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Filmpremiere in Berlin (Foto: SpreePix)</p></div>
<p>Er macht die Aufnahmsprüfung am Max Reinhard Seminar, schreibt sich für klassischen Gesang an der Musikhochschule ein. Ein halbes Jahr, denn „länger braucht man nicht, um das zu lernen“, wie seine Großmutter ihm einbläut. Offenbar hat sie recht: Mit 19 debütiert Christoph am Züricher Schauspielhaus furios als „Amadeus“. Mit 20 geht er für zwei Jahre ans <a href="http://www.strasberg.com/lstfi/">Lee Strasberg Institut nach New York</a>, das schon Superstars wie Robert de Niro oder Harvey Keitel geformt hat; er lernt seine Ehefrau kennen, die Amerikanerin Jackie, Psychotherapeutin, die damals  in einer Modern Dance Company tanzt. Mit 24 wird er zum ersten Mal Vater.</p>
<p>Ein US-Regisseur, der sein Talent erkennt, rät ihm zur Rückkehr nach Europa. „Oder wollen Sie hier ewig durch den Hintergrund laufen und ,Heil Hitler!&#8217; brüllen?“, fragt er den jungen Schauspieler. Das will Waltz damals nicht, schon gar nicht im Hintergrund. Also geht die Familie nach London, zwei weitere Kinder folgen – aber die Ehe zerbricht nach knapp zwei Jahrzehnten.</p>
<p>Das alles ist das alte, das private Leben des Christoph Waltz. Das schwarze Loch in  seiner Biografie, das er seit Jahren mit beharrlichem Schweigen füllt. Nur eines ist gesichert: Mittelpunkt seines Lebens war – die Arbeit. Ein bisschen zu zwanghaft vielleicht. Ein wenig zu getrieben. „Ich behaupte, dass der Entschluss, Schauspieler zu werden, auf einer psychischen Entwicklungsstörung beruht“, erklärte Christoph Waltz vor Jahren in entwaffnender Offenheit. „Irgendwo gibt es da etwa, das ein normales, geregeltes Leben unmöglich macht und sich als Ersatzhandlung von der Schauspielerei Erlösung erhofft.“</p>
<p>Wovon will Christoph Waltz erlöst werden? Über 30 Jahre spielen, spielen, spielen liegen hinter ihm. Nicht wenige zweitklassige Bücher, die er im Alleingang zu Meisterwerken hochspielte. Er war berührend als Roy Black („Die Roy Black Story“, 1996) , eiskalt als Oetker-Entführer Dieter Cilov („Der Tanz mit dem Teufel“, 1994) und verstörend als so ziemlich jeder Psychopaten-Typ, den Film und Bühne hervor bringen.</p>
<p>Der Oscar? Für Christoph Waltz kaum mehr als ein üppige Uferpflanze, die er staunend betrachtet, während er im Fluss seines Lebens daran vorbei treibt. Was sein Können betrifft, konnte der schon vor der Oscar-Nominierung kaum noch mehr erreichen. Seine Bandbreite war längst am Maximum dessen angelangt, was ein Schauspieler leisten kann – um nichts anderes ist es Christoph Waltz je gegangen.</p>

<p>Tarantinos SS-Offizier Landa, so etwas wie kultivierte Bestialität auf zwei Beinen, war zweifellos sein Meisterstück, mit oder ohne Auszeichnung. Vielleicht war er auch die Erlösung. „Quentin, du hast mir meine Berufung  zurück gegeben“, sagte Christoph Waltz zu Tarantino, als er den Golden Globe in Händen hielt. Da wirkte er einen Wimpernschlag lang entspannt, erlöst eben – wie der  auf das Wesentliche reduzierte Mann, der Christoph Waltz immer sein wollte.</p>
<p>Wie er sich beschreiben würde, fragte ihn einmal ein Journalist, nachdem er sich gerade eine Zigarre angezündet hatte. Christoph Waltz nahm sich Zeit darüber nachzudenken. Dann antworte er: „Rauchend. Und wenn die Zigarre am Ende ist, nicht rauchend.“  Damit ist alles gesagt.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>Für die meisten Kritiker ist es nur ein überdimensionales iPhone. Wieviel im neuen iPad aber wirklich steckt und warum es eine neue Ära der Computer einleiten wird &#8211; <a href="http://inshunyata.tumblr.com/">Martin Kröß</a> hat sich für den WIENER schlau gemacht.</p></blockquote>
<div id="attachment_1095" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.wienerpost.at/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/his-steveness.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1095" title="his steveness" src="http://www.wienerpost.at/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/his-steveness-300x199.jpg" alt="&quot;His Steveness&quot; bei der lang erwarteten Apple Keynote" width="300" height="199" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">&quot;His Steveness&quot; bei der lang erwarteten Apple Keynote</p></div>
<p>Der Aktienkurs steigt, die Glasfaserkabeln glühen. Es wird getwittert, gebloggt und gedruckt. Die Gerüchte überschlagen sich, der Puls der Medien steigt. Die Schlagzeilen verkünden die Ankunft des „Heiligen Grals“ der Technik und fantasieren über die eierlegende Wollmilchsau unter den Computern. Wie schon drei Jahre zuvor, bei der Vorstellung des iPhones, wächst der Hype ins Unermessliche bis <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jobs">Steve Jobs</a> schließlich die Bühne betritt.</p>
<p>Es geht ein Raunen durch das Publikum, als der Konzernchef von Apple das Gerät unter einem schwarzen Tuch hervorzaubert &#8211; schließlich der erlösende Applaus. Ein biblischer Vergleich drängt sich auf. <a href="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/01/apple-creation-0071-rm-eng.jpg">Wie Moses, der die Steintafeln mit den 10 Geboten</a> seiner Gefolgschaft präsentiert, hält Jobs das iPad in die Kameras dieser Welt.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Anschließend stürmen die Journalisten vor Ort die Präsentationshallen um das neue iPad in Händen halten zu können. Sie testen, drehen und wenden es. Sie surfen, spielen, tippen und etwas seltsames passiert. Stimmen der Entäuschung werden hörbar, die ersten Berichte, Tweets und Blogs sprechen von Enttäuschung. Die beschworene Revolution scheint abgeblasen. Doch eine Revolutionen kündigen sich nicht immer mit Pauken und Trompeten an, sondern verläuft oft schleichend und im Verborgenen.</p>
<p>Oberflächlich betrachtet wirkt das iPad wie ein großes iPhone inklusive Hometaste, 10 Zoll Touchscreen, Kopfhöreranschluss, Lautstärkenregelung und angebissener Apfel auf der Aluminium Rückseite.</p>
<p>Der Tablet PC verfügt über Internetzugang via WiFi und Mobilfunk. Es beherrscht Internet, E-Mails, Photos, Videos, Musik, E-Books und Spiele aus dem FF. Inhalte lassen sich auf das iPad übertragen oder direkt über den iTunes Store via Internet herunterladen.</p>
<p>Im Inneren schlummert ein brandneuer Chip aus dem Hause Apple. Das iPad ist durch ihn wesentlich schneller als das iPhone 3GS. Inhalte laden unmittelbar und die Funktionen reagieren im Sekundenbruchteil. Der Akku hält außerdem 10 Stunden im Betrieb und einen ganzen Monat im Standby. Damit übertrifft es jeden Laptop bei Weitem.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.wienerpost.at/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/ipad-iwork.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1097 aligncenter" title="ipad-iwork" src="http://www.wienerpost.at/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/ipad-iwork.jpg" alt="Der heilige Gral: Kaum ein Produkt wurde in der Branche so sehnsüchtig erwartet wie das iPad von Apple." width="576" height="249" /></a>Dennoch sind die Kritiken harsch. Es gäbe keine physische Tastatur, kein auswechselbarer Akku, kein USB Anschluss und keine eingebaute Kamera. Deja-Vu? Dem iPhone erging es vor 3 Jahren genauso und heute ist es das erfolgreichste Handy am Markt. Dieser Fehler schein sich beim iPad zu wiederholen, denn die meisten Kritiker übersehen dabei die wahre Revolution, die im iPad steckt. Das Konzept des Computers und wie wir ihn benutzen steht an einem entscheidenden Wendepunkt und ist im Begriff sich neu zu erfinden.</p>
<p>Über die letzten 20 Jahre hatte sich das Konzept des Computers nicht wesentlich verändert. Die grafische Oberfläche, Eingaben via Tastatur und Maus, Ordner und Dateien. All diese Elemente bestimmen unseren Umgang mit Computern. Der Umfang und die Komplexität hat jedoch mit der Zeit zugenommen. Es müssen Programme und Treiber installiert sowie Einstellungen vorgenommen. PC&#8217;s stürzen ab, Funktionen verweigern ihren Dienst, Daten gehen verloren. Dabei sollten sie die Arbeit des Menschen erleichtern, schlicht dafür sorgen, das unser Alltag effizienter wird.</p>
<p>Computer sollten mehr wie Haushaltsgeräte sein. Einfach zu bedienen. Wer einen Tee kochen will sollte nicht wissen müssen, wie man einen Wasserkocher zusammenbaut. Der Mehrheit der Menschen braucht Computer um im Internet surfen zu können oder E-Mails zu versenden. Sie wollen ihre Photos Verwandten zeigen und Videos ansehen und nicht mit komplizierter Technik beschäftigen müssen und sollte es auch nicht.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wienerpost.at/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/ipad-photo.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1109" title="ipad-photo" src="http://www.wienerpost.at/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/ipad-photo-300x174.jpg" alt="ipad-photo" width="300" height="174" /></a>Das iPad ist ein erster Schritt hin zu einem neuen Konzept um Computer einfacher und damit effizienter zu machen. Von der 60 jährigen Großmutter bis zum 4 jährigen Schulkind kann jeder damit umgehen &#8211; ohne Vorkenntnisse und ohne mühsam erworbenes Wissen. Die Bedienung erfolgt mit den Fingern. Von Treibern und langwierigen Installationen keine Spur. Ordner und Dateien treten in den Hintergrund und machen Platz für Inhalte wie etwa Photos, Videos oder Musik. Das Chaos verschwindet. Schluss mit vielen offenen Fenstern und Programmen, die sich ein und ausblenden lassen, Taskleisten und komplizierten Funktionen. Einfach und intuitiv.</p>
<p>Zu einfach für diejenigen, die es gewohnt sind, an ihren Kisten herumzuschrauben und mit antrainierten Wissen ihren PC im Zaum zu halten. Aber für diese Minderheit ist das iPad auch nicht gedacht, sondern <a href="http://www.robertlender.info/blog/archives/3043-Meine-Bekannte-und-das-iPad">für die Mehrheit &#8211; für die, die sich damit nicht herumschlagen wollen</a>. Es ist kein Ersatz für den PC, sondern eine neue Art von PC. Einer für den Durchschnittsuser, der für seine Anwendung sorgenfrei und allzeitbereit zur Verfügung steht. Einfach zu bedienen und für 90 Prozent aller Aufgaben hinreichend gerüstet.</p>
<p>Der Computer als professionelles Arbeitsgerät, etwa zum Bearbeiten von Fotos und Grafik, erstellen von Videos und Aufnahme von Musik, wird nicht untergehen, aber seine Bedeutung für die Masse wird schwinden. Es ist ein Schritt weg von der heute selbstverständlichen Annahme, dass Technik nunmal kompliziert sei und ein Bekenntnis dazu, das Technik unser aller Leben einfacher machen sollte. Hier liegt die wahre Revolution.</p>

<p>Sie ist 24, ihr <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j50ZssEojtM">CERN-Rap</a> wurde auf YouTube über 5 Millionen mal gesehen und in zahlreiche Sprachen übersetzt. Aber eigentlich ist <a href="http://www.katemcalpine.com/">Katherine McAlpine</a> Wissenschaftsautorin und -journalistin und erklärt uns gerne die wundersame Welt der Teilchenphysik. Exklusiv auf <strong>wienerpost</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Das Interview &#8211; uncut &amp; OV.</span></p>
<p><strong>Let&#8217;s start with a personal question. The first time I heard about you I thought “Alpinekat” was a clever name for your rap-personality, with CERN being in Switzerland and all. Then I found out your real name was McAlpine. Where does it come from? Mc sounds Scotttish, but Alpine?</strong></p>
<p>McAlpine is indeed Scottish. Apparently there was some fellow named Alpan running around early Scotland, and Mac means &#8220;son of&#8221;. By the time you get to the first king of Scotland, he&#8217;s going by a Gaelic equivalent of &#8220;MacAlpin&#8221;. Somewhere between Scotland and the US, my ancestors dropped an a and added an e&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s your current position and profession?</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve kept my ties to <a href="http://public.web.cern.ch/public/">CERN</a>, working part-time with the <a href="http://atlas.ch/">ATLAS</a> e-News to keep the 2500 or so physicists updated on what&#8217;s happening with the experiment although they&#8217;re scattered around the world.  I write articles and update the website.<br />
The rest of my time, I describe myself as a struggling freelancer.  Last year I had two rap commissions, one of which is online and the other was for an event, and I made a couple of podcasts for the <a href="http://www.aps.org/">American Physical Society</a> about cool research. I only wrote a handful of articles outside of the e-News, but it&#8217;s the New Year and so far, I&#8217;m doing well for my resolution of writing more.<br />
This kind of flexibility has given me the chance to accept talk invitations in Vienna in 2008, and Michigan and Stockholm last year.  Spreading the word about science rap!</p>
<p><strong>Is online-communication your main occupation?</strong></p>
<p>Yeah, I&#8217;d say online communication is my main occupation since the bulk of my articles aren&#8217;t printed, plus the website, video, and audio work.</p>
<p><strong>What does <a href="http://atlas.ch/">ATLAS</a> do?</strong></p>
<p>Big question!  ATLAS the detector is sort of like cylinders stacked inside one another.  And very simplified, the innermost cylinder is made of trackers &#8212; these see where the particles go.  The next cylinder out is made of calorimeters &#8212; these stop the particles and measure how much energy they have.  The last layer is muon detectors &#8212; they&#8217;re after particles called muons, which can blow past the rest of the calorimeters.  Muons are a good indicator that something cool happened in the proton collision.</p>
<p>From the information they get out of these detectors, the physicists can reconstruct what happened in the collision &#8212; kind of like police officers arriving at a car crash after the fact, and trying to figure out from skid marks on the road, the position of the cars and broken glass, what exactly happened.</p>
<p>But when two cars crash, all you get is stuff that was there before &#8212; now it&#8217;s just in a different form.  When two protons collide at high energy, Einstein&#8217;s E=MC^2 really comes to life.  This equation means that energy changes to mass, just like you can change a Euro to a dollar (only the exchange rate is <em>really</em> low).  So you can get anything out of these collisions, provided you have enough energy to &#8220;pay&#8221; the universe for it.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">ATLAS is looking for anything that hasn&#8217;t been seen before.  It may confirm the existence of theoretical particles, like the <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higgs-Boson">Higgs Boson</a>, dark matter, or supersymmetric partners to the particles we already know.  They might also see evidence of wilder ideas, like extra dimensions, but they&#8217;ll need years&#8217; worth of data to show that what they&#8217;re seeing is really evidence of an extra dimension &#8212; not just something that can be explained with what we already know. <em><br />
</em><strong><a href="http://www.wienerpost.at/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/mcalpine_jan.JPG"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1059 alignleft" title="mcalpine_jan" src="http://www.wienerpost.at/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/mcalpine_jan-300x225.jpg" alt="mcalpine_jan" width="300" height="225" /></a>Tell us a little bit about the success-story of your Science Raps. How did that happen, what were your biggest and most interesting successes with them?</strong></p>
<p>The success of the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j50ZssEojtM">Large Hadron Rap</a> was entirely unexpected. The <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjrASzgrt4c">N3UROCH!P</a> had been online for almost a year, and it had just over 600 views (614 is the number that sticks in my head).  What&#8217;s more, the Large Hadron Rap was almost a disaster &#8212; Will Barras had put together such a cool track, and the YouTube compression made it extremely irritating, fading it in and out.<br />
But it kept getting passed along anyway, and around 100,000 views, YouTube fixed the audio.  I had put it online just before I went on vacation, afraid that the <a href="http://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/">LHC</a> might start up and I&#8217;d miss the deadline I had set for myself.  By the end of the actual start-up week, with media attention from five continents it had over 2 million views.<br />
I&#8217;ve been surprised at how well it continues to do, getting over a thousand views almost every day.  It&#8217;s a success I think will be near impossible to replicate.<br />
I warned the folks building <a href="http://www.frib.msu.edu/">FRIB</a>, some of my former mentors and professors, that I couldn&#8217;t make any promises with the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=677ZmPEFIXE">Rare Isotope Rap</a>, but though its progress is much slower, it has gone further than their previous web media outreach efforts even in its first month.<br />
We&#8217;ll see what happens with the black hole rap.  The project started back when there was a lot of talk about black holes, a lot of fear (and fear-mongering), but it met with so much difficulty that it came out much later than initially anticipated.  If people aren&#8217;t freaking out about black holes, that&#8217;s alright by me.  But if the hype starts up again, the rap is there to explain why there&#8217;s nothing to worry about.</p>
<p><strong>There are several translations too…</strong></p>
<p>Yeah! This is one of the most exciting things.  People have performed translations of the rap in Spanish, Portuguese, and German!  There were subtitling projects in French, Italian, and Dutch as well.  Also, the Spanish and German versions were just a couple of guys, over in Venezuela and Germany, who thought it was cool enough to share in their own language, and took it on as a spare-time kind of project.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s the best part for me, connecting with people who are just as enthusiastic, and happy to spend their own time communicating how fun and interesting science can be.</p>
<p><strong>Your videos are free and have been viewed millions of times. Is there any money in them too? Like, are there DVDs or CDs for sale? And if not why not?</strong></p>
<p>I keep getting these messages from YouTube about joining their partner program, which puts ads on videos and lets users earn money.  But there are two main problems: the ads, and the money.</p>
<p>I definitely have to put in the most time to make a video happen, but the dancers who also spend time behind the camera give their time too, and then there&#8217;s Will, doing the beats.  Or with the Rare Isotope Rap, there was a whole team behind that, camera people, animators&#8230;too complicated.  Besides, in the Black Hole Rap, I&#8217;ve borrowed a lot of content.  I&#8217;m a lot harder to sue when I have no money ;)</p>
<p>A few people have asked me why I don&#8217;t have an iTunes account or donation scheme set up.  I might look into the iTunes idea&#8230;I give away the tracks to whoever wants to download them, because the main thing is to spread the word, but it would be interesting to see if anyone would buy them as a sign of support.  Things&#8217;d be simpler with music only &#8211; just Will and me to worry about.</p>
<p><strong>You write the lyrics and perform them. Have you a hand in the composition of the music too?</strong></p>
<p>Not since N3UROCH!P, and most would say that&#8217;s a good thing!  I like what Will does, and except for the Rare Isotope Rap, where we were funded for the project, he makes the tracks in his spare time.  Occasionally, I have some request or other, but he&#8217;s really easy to work with.</p>
<p><strong>Who are your collaborators on the raps?</strong></p>
<p>So many!  Backup dancers come from wherever I happen to be&#8230;other interns at 1 Physics Ellipse for the N3UROCH!P, summer of 2007, communications interns at CERN during the spring of 2008 for the Large Hadron Rap.  Actually, I wound up marrying one of them (<a href="http://barras.biz/">Colin Barras</a>, Louis zoomed in on him at 3:00 in the LHR), which makes Will my brother in-law&#8230;.</p>
<p>Apart from the students and profs who had contributed moves to the Rare Isotope Rap, there was Geoff Koch, who pushed to get me hired, Karl Gude, who drew the innards for the targeted radiotherapy and supervised the student animators John Allison and Matthew Bambach, and Amol Pavangadkar who supervised the filming by students Adam Rademacher and Josh Farris, and the editing which was taken on by Adam.  Much bigger production, as you can see.</p>
<p>The Black Hole Rap was more like the Large Hadron Rap, only some of the interns had moved on.  But, some Colombians from CMS joined in the fun &#8212; they&#8217;d danced on stage with me in the autumn of 2008.</p>
<p><strong>What are the reactions to your Raps, especially in the science community?</strong></p>
<p>Mostly, the reaction is good.  People like the raps and like the way that they help spread the word with a five minute summary, introducing ideas that seem so tough that a lot of people are afraid to try to understand.  I think that&#8217;s what the raps have been best at: getting over that little wall people build when they think a topic is just plain beyond their comprehension.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.wienerpost.at/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Logo_CERN.gif"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1066" title="Logo_CERN" src="http://www.wienerpost.at/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Logo_CERN-300x300.gif" alt="Logo_CERN" width="270" height="270" /></a>You do part of the shooting inside of CERN – what are the reactions there?</strong></p>
<p>Oh, even the second time around some were a little skittish of letting us into the caverns.  The first time I tried getting permission, asking to film a rap video in the cavern, I got a request for more information from the head of the press office.  But in the end, we respect safety regulations, and we have supervisors who make double-sure we don&#8217;t get ourselves into trouble.</p>
<p><strong>Your new video is out but hasn’t been viewed by that much people yet, does it need more publicity? And why are the subtitles hidden? They seem to be very helpful for most people.</strong></p>
<p>The subtitling is really helpful, but like I said, this film has been a struggle all the way.  Because iMovie HD&#8217;s subtitling scheme doesn&#8217;t have the flexibility of Windows Movie Maker, I opted to make a subtitle file instead. The advantage is that you can turn it off if you don&#8217;t like it, and I could have multiple language options if others started translating again.</p>
<p>The disadvantage, as you discovered, is that not all people realize that there is an option for closed captions!</p>
<p><strong>You are a science writer. How do you view your Raps, information, entertainment, education? What’s your aim?</strong></p>
<p>I think my raps are very good for information and education value, at least to the extent that is possible in five minutes or less!  Entertainment, now that&#8217;s a subjective issue.  I think they&#8217;re entertaining to make, and I have on several good authorities that they&#8217;re entertaining to watch.</p>
<p>The aim is to goof off and have some fun with science.  Trying to convey our enthusiasm is just as important as conveying the information, which is something that all the science rappers I&#8217;ve talked to seem to agree on.</p>
<p><strong>Do you have music plans outside of Science Raps?</strong></p>
<p>Not really.  I used to play the piano, and I&#8217;m waiting for the day I stay put long enough to get one of my own!  I also play the pennywhistle from time to time (hence some of my YouTube favorites).</p>
<p><strong>How often do you perform as a Rapper?</strong></p>
<p>Not very!  I performed three times in 2008, at the CMS, ATLAS, and LHC start-up parties.  Then last year, I rapped along with eight other physicists at the event which marked the end of Peter Jenni&#8217;s 16 years as Spokesperson of ATLAS.  And the last was at a nuclear conference just after we finished the Rare Isotope Rap in June.</p>

<p><strong>CERN prepares for the next round. What&#8217;s the current plan and goal?</strong></p>
<p>As far as I can tell, the plan is to start sending beams around in mid-late February, slowly working up in energy.  Since a trillion electron volts doesn&#8217;t mean much, I&#8217;ll just say that 1 TeV beams is the top energy of the last big accelerator built, the Tevatron at Fermilab.</p>
<p>The first goal for this year is 3.5 TeV beams, which means there will be 7 TeV energy in the proton collisions.  So far, they&#8217;re aiming for around the 25th of March.  They&#8217;ll run for a while with beams at this energy, letting the experiments collect the first real set of ground-breaking data.  Then in May, they&#8217;ll try to bring the energy up further &#8212; how much further will be decided in early February.  They&#8217;ll run like that until mid-October, when they&#8217;ll start setting up for lead ion collisions.  Those should happen through November, and in December, everyone will be ready for a rest.</p>
<p>This is just the current schedule &#8212; sometimes things go faster, like the progress last year, and sometimes, a problem slows things down&#8230;  With all the upgrades to the magnet safety system, though, we hope the machine is safeguarded against any more serious damage!</p>
<p><strong>About the <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higgs-Boson">Higgs boson</a> &#8211; some say if CERN proves it doesn&#8217;t exist particle science had to start from scratch. Is this true?</strong></p>
<p>Well, the theoretical framework that makes sense of all the particles and forces would need a major overhaul.  The Standard Model, the name for that framework, is a lot like a puzzle with just a couple missing pieces.  The Higgs boson is arguably the most important of these missing pieces &#8212; there&#8217;s no other explanation for why anything has mass, substance.</p>
<p>If it doesn&#8217;t exist, then the Standard Model says that the W and Z bosons, which handle the weak force, should be massless like the photon, which handles light, electricity, and magentism.  But in reality, the W and Z bosons are over eighty times the mass of a proton!  We&#8217;d need some other explanation.</p>
<p><strong>And if they find it, the problems of atomic particles are solved for all time? And what would CERN try to do next?</strong></p>
<p>Ha!  Name a physicist who said that ;)  CERN would keep working on the other problems. Like dark matter and energy, supersymmetry, quark-gluon plasma, extra dimensions, why the universe is made of matter and not much antimatter, what antimatter is like (they&#8217;ve got a dedicated accelerator for this), and why neutrinos can change from shapeshift from one kind to another if you give them enough time (for this one, they&#8217;ve got a beam of neutrinos headed for another lab in Italy&#8217;s Gran Sasso).  There are plenty of other puzzles to solve!</p>

<p><strong>Okay, now finally tell us why we are not going to be eaten by a CERN-created Black Hole!</strong></p>
<p>Didn&#8217;t you watch the rap? First, we&#8217;re pretty sure <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Hawking">Hawking</a>&#8217;s right about his <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawking_radiation">Hawking radiation</a>.  All over the universe, on a tiny scale, particles are popping in and out of existence with their antimatter twins.  These pairs are created at the edges of black holes, too.  I think of them as &#8220;borrowing&#8221; energy from the universe.  Away from the black hole, the particle and anti-particle would meet again and repay their debt.  But if one of the pair falls into the black hole while the other jets away, then the black hole has to pay for them, losing energy.  From a distance, it looks like the black hole emitted a particle.</p>
<p>A big, well-fed black hole can continue to grow despite this effect, but the tiny ones made in the LHC will have a tough time accumulating anything.  They&#8217;ll lose mass to this effect very quickly, evaporating away, but hopefully, they&#8217;ll leave the physicists a signature in the detector.</p>
<p>I glossed over this in the rap because it&#8217;s easier to understand that we&#8217;re constantly under bombardment from cosmic rays, and a whole lot of them hit the earth every day.  Ultra high energy cosmic rays have energies over a million times higher than the LHC&#8217;s collision energies.  Over a single square kilometer of Earth, they&#8217;re estimated to come once a century.  But the earth is so huge that over the whole of the planet, we should get about 800 per second.  If there was going to be a dangerous black hole created by a particle collision, it should have happened right in our atmosphere by now.</p>
<p>But some people argue that the black holes from cosmic rays wouldn&#8217;t get stuck on the earth, they&#8217;d just fly off elsewhere, even right through the planet.  And maybe that&#8217;s true, but one place they couldn&#8217;t escape is a neutron star.  If a tiny black hole was created on one of these super-dense stars, it wouldn&#8217;t be able to fly on through.  It would be trapped among tightly-packed neutrons, which it would then consume until the neutron star became a black hole.  This process would happen so readily that we shouldn&#8217;t see neutron stars at all.  But we do.</p>
<p>Three good reasons not to worry.</p>
<p><strong>Something you would like to add?</strong></p>
<p>Just a note on the black holes &#8212; I put in the last verse of the black hole rap after talking to a physicist who took it rather personally that so many believed that he and his colleagues would put the planet in danger.  Sometimes, I think there is this perceived disconnect, like scientists who do very technical work aren&#8217;t like ordinary people.  It&#8217;s a &#8220;mad scientist&#8221; they imagine destroying the world for the sake of an experiment. And of course there are eccentrics, but most of these physicists have friends, spouses or partners, children &#8212; they&#8217;re as invested in their lives as they are in their work.  They wouldn&#8217;t do something that would actually put the planet at risk.</p>

<p>Die Air France hat Mist gebaut und <a href="http://www.amandapalmer.net/afp/">Amanda Palmer</a> erst einen Tag später von Paris nach Wien befördert. Die Nacht verbrachte sie in einem miesen, kalten Hotel, aber mit Rotwein und über 1000 Fans, die ihr beim <a href="http://twitter.com/amandapalmer/status/8383566306">spontanen Ukulele-Webcast</a> die Stange hielten.</p>
<p>Dass Miss Palmer beim <strong>WIENER</strong> Interview trotzdem nicht übernachtig war,  sondern charmant, witzig und eloquent, grenzt an ein Wunder&#8230;</p>
<p>Umso übernachtiger war (und ist) die Redakteurin, die sich den Palmer&#8217;schen Ukulele-<a href="http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/4306451">Livestream</a> in Echt- und zur Unzeit angesehen hat. Deshalb gibt es hier auch keinen Interview-Feinschliff, sondern Amanda Palmer in (almost uncut) OV-Version.</p>
<p>Wer Finetuning, Übersetzung und <a href="http://www.stagedweb.com/Stagedweb.com/HOME.html">Sandra Keplingers</a> extrem witzige Fotoserie sehen will, ist hiermit aufgefordert, sich den nächsten <strong>WIENER</strong> zu kaufen! :)</p>
<p><strong>I heard that you are single-handedly going to save the music industry. How are you planning to do this?</strong></p>
<p>I’m not gonna save anything. I don’t think the music industry actually needs saving. I think the music industry &#8211; as it is – just needs to die. It needs a complete rebuild from the ground up which obviously is already happening.<br />
And it’s not that the music industry as we know it is dying and then a new industry which kind of resembles it is going to spring up in its place. What I see happening is that music as we know it, as we experience it, the way we find it, listen to it and connect with it, has changed completely – and will change for this whole new next generation of people.<br />
<a href="http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2005/06/small_is_the_ne.html">It’s “small”</a> – and it’s much more empowering the artists who are making it because they can directly give, make and communicate with their fans. Unlike the old days where everything had to be giant or non-existent.<br />
And everybody is doing it themselves! They’re doing it in different ways but artists are having to just simply do that themselves. Just the way it used to be – way back in the day: you had to have supporters, <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A4zen">you had to have patrons</a>, you had to go from town to town with your story and hawk it – and hope that it sold.</p>
<p><strong>But you are still with your label, with Roadrunner?</strong></p>
<p>I’m not at liberty to discuss but I can tell you that the news is looking good.</p>
<p><strong>In <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMi7wRfmoMs">your song</a> you said you were “tired of sucking corporate dick”…</strong></p>
<p>That was very black and white, obviously. I have different relationships with different people at Roadrunner. Some of the people there are great and some of them are terrible. And the relationship hasn’t been good for a long, long time. But they did help the band a lot in the early days of the <a href="http://www.dresdendolls.com/main1.htm">Dresden Dolls</a>.</p>
<p><strong>What do you think of <a href="http://mashable.com/2007/10/19/radiohead-album-sales/">Radiohead’s idea to offer their album by digital download</a>, allowing fans to pay whatever they think is a fair price? Do you think that might be a business plan for future artists?</strong></p>
<p>I don’t think there’s gonna be ONE way. It’s gonna be infinite possibilities. And it’s gonna be up to the artists in question to decide how they want to exchange their goods for money. There’s gonna be an infinite variety of ways that you can have music, experience, profit, connection… There’s so many things you can do as an artist! There’s so many ways you can choose to do it.<br />
I think some bands are gonna do it the Radiohead-way and for some bands who are at certain points in their careers it’s gonna work…</p>
<p><strong>Will you do it?</strong></p>
<p>I’m not sure.</p>
<p><strong>Did you ever bittorrent any music?</strong></p>
<p>I don’t use bittorrent but I have a friend who understands a lot more about finding music on the internet than I do. So every time I need something… (laughs)<br />
So I’m like a lazy indirect bittorrenter. But I feel no qualms about downloading music for free. And I buy a lot of music. I do. I usually do whatever is easiest. And if I feel like I’m directly supporting someone by buying their music, I always do it.<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>This is a quote from <a href="http://open.salon.com/blog/future_of_journalism/2009/06/29/amanda_palmers_twitter_riches_--_and_journalism">an article about you</a>: “Amanda Palmer, it turns out, isn&#8217;t in the business of selling music so much as she&#8217;s in the business of selling the experience of being a fan of Amanda Palmer&#8217;s music.” Would you agree?</strong></p>
<p>Well, if that is true, then it’s also true for Radiohead and any other band out there. Because it’s never just about the music. Never ever. I don’t buy that for a second. Because behind the music is always the people. And the emotion and the intention. And when you buy the music, you’re buying everything. Or when you’re downloading it for free. It’s impossible to separate the art from the artists who are making it and the stories behind them. It’s everything, all mixed up together.<br />
Sure I can believe that that’s true – but if it’s true for me it’s pretty much true for every artist out there. I don’t think I’m special that way.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<div id="attachment_1000" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 214px"><strong><strong><a href="http://www.wienerpost.at/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/AFP2-Sandra.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1000" title="Amanda Palmer by Sandra Keplinger" src="http://www.wienerpost.at/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/AFP2-Sandra-204x300.jpg" alt="Amanda Palmer by Sandra Keplinger" width="204" height="300" /></a></strong></strong><p class="wp-caption-text">Amanda Palmer by Sandra Keplinger</p></div>
<p><strong>But you spend A LOT of time connecting with your fans online. Do you think it enhances your creativity or does it mean you have less time for your music?</strong></p>
<p>It’s a choice I make and I often regret. But then again every artist has to make that really difficult decision about how to spend their time. And there’s everything from hiding in a cabin in Bali and playing your guitar <em>all alone</em> to living in the middle of New York City and doing flash gigs on Twitter every afternoon, being hyper-connected and not spending a lot of time on your musical craft.</p>
<p>So you got your musical craft on the one end – and on the other end you have what you’ve got to do to actually take your music to people and wave it around.<br />
And EVERY SINGLE ARTIST I KNOW struggles with this question. I don’t know a single fucking person who makes art who doesn’t worry that they’re too much on this side or too much on that side.<br />
The people who I know who spend a lot of time on their music are jealous of me because I’m so disciplined with my blog and I look at them and I am jealous because they are so disciplined with their playing and I feel sometimes they are so much more passionate about the making and the writing. But we’re all looking at each other going “Well, YOU’ve got it figured out.”</p>
<p><strong>Yesterday you said, you never would have learned to play the piano had there been internet when you were a child.</strong></p>
<p>I may have learned… I don’t know if I would have written songs. That’s a really good question.</p>
<p><strong>You argued that boredom was part of creativity…</strong></p>
<p>I think so. I think boredom is very important for imagination. But everything changes, right? And so I wouldn’t wanna sit here and be like this grumpy old person judging the teenagers nowadays for sitting around on the internet all day for all I know their minds are developing creatively in a new way that I never could have imagined. Because of the constant input and the constant sharing and the constant stimulus and the inspiration.<br />
I didn’t have all that because it was just me and and the records and my thoughts. And maybe really rudimentary pac-man on my parents’ computer. That was it. No internet, no international connections, no finding fans of the bands that I loved. But I don’t think one is good or bad. You get really really fucked if you look at the world that way. I could sit here and judge and say: “These kids are all gonna be fucked and they’re not gonna make good music.” But actually that’s bullshit. I know a lot of sixteen-year-olds who are great songwriters, they practise their instruments, they’re passionate about making music, about writing, about making art. So as long as I see it existing I can’t sit here and preach that there’s some sort of artistic death going on in the next generation. It’s just not true.</p>

<p><strong>What’s it like to be part of the super-couple of geekdom?</strong></p>
<p>I think Neil’s more of a geek than I am. He’d probably say the same thing about me though.<br />
How does it feel to be in a relationship? I don’t fucking know. It’s like trying to explain a colour. I really love him. It’s an incredible relationship. <a href="http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2010/01/telling-world-official-announcement.html">I feel incredibly lucky that we’ve found each other.</a> And I’ve never been able to be so completely myself, you know, inside of a relationship. Where usually in a  relationship there’s a lot of changing and adjusting and figuring out and compromising, endless talking about how to do what. And with Neil it’s just so easy. We’re so easy for each other. It sometimes scares the shit out of me because it feels too easy. Like the work should be harder. But there’s almost no work – I really understand him and he really understands me and there’s not much else to talk about and we get to just go and have fun.</p>
