Roy’s Writing Tools

You don’t have to be a journalism student to enjoy — or benefit from — Roy’s Writing Tools. Brought to us by the Poynter Institute and Roy Peter Clark, Roy’s Writing Tools delivers one enjoyable, instructive, and short writing lesson after another. They explain why you should use active verbs and when you should embrace the passive voice. Why should you vary the length of your paragraphs? (via Apple.com)

Finally the iPhone 3G will be available in Indonesia via TELKOMSEL. To be among the first to get the real cool gadget - yep, we like it! - you can make a reservation. TELKOMSEL will keep you posted, when your HP will arrive and what to do next to get your hands on it. Meanwhile you should download iTunes for free to collect all your videos, musik, podcasts, movies, pictures and applications you want to transfer to your iPhone. And do not forget to subscribe to FIM podcasts and watch them on your iPhone or on your computer! You will also be able to check the weather at Sudirman, by having a look to the FIM-webcam on your iPhone. Or you can access the student page on FIM and watch the online presentations of your subject on your iPhone. Or you can check the translation of some English word Mr.T is using in class on your iPhone, or… ok, enough FIM advertising here.

CD LAUNCH and CONCERT:

CD yang diluncurkan ini adalah kompilasi musik elektronik dari musisi dari negara di Asia Tenggara, Australia, Selandia Baru dan Jerman.

Kisah panjang dibalik produksi CD ini berawal tahun 2006, ketika Goethe-Institut merasakan adanya perkembangan pesat dan ketertarikan adanya pertemuan antara musisi di kawasan Asia Tenggara, Australia dan Selandia Baru dengan Jerman, sehingga perlu membuat sebuah program selama tiga tahun.

Send in your best series of pictures - a photo-reportage- you took in 2008 and you may win 2.500 EUR (approx. 38jt IDR). You can submit your pictures online, so there is no hassle printing it out and sending it in by mail!

The renowned photographic competition, the Leica Oskar Barnack Award will be celebrating its 30th year in 2009…

The sofa is just great for tired students and lecturers alike to chill out. Or are these “The Three Tenors”? You can see them also on facebook.

We set up a webcam overlooking the skyline of Jakarta Pusat. So when you go to school, you know how the weather there will be like.
It seems, this is the only webcamera in Indonesia. There is another one on the rooftop of the German Bank Building.
If you are aware of other webcams in Indonesia let us know and leave a comment, please!
If you like to see the pictures of this webcamera and of many other from all over the world on your iPhone or iPod touch get the cool application WorldView (free).

We sell a used projector screen (wall mounted, 1.60×1.60m) for 549.000 IDR. Get the Sony VPL-HS1 Home Entertainment LCD Projector (home cinema projector) on top for free, if you buy the screen! The screen is in overall good condition and a good choice to make your movies come to life on your living room wall. The Sony projector is about 5 years old and is not ’state of the art’ anymore. The lamp was replaced and still will run for hundreds of hours (you can check this in the projector’s on-screen menu).
