a beauty who withstands a hydrogen bomb

Bahnhof, one of Sweden’s largest ISPs publicized a few facts on their high-style high-endurance military-bunker-cum-wonder-data-center. 30 meters below Stockholm City, the Pionen White Mountains center houses the Network Operations Center for the company and is designed to withstand a nearby hydrogen bomb hit (which, you know, obviously brings out the devil in me: 1, why use an H-bomb on Sweden instead of just amping up Surströmming? 2, why nuke out an ISP indirectly?). 

For the tech guys: two Maybach MTU diesel engines support the backup power - originally these monstrosities were used in German submarines, so the designer guys just took out the sound horns and added those as well. For the design-hearted: the center has simulated daylight, greenhouses, waterfall and a giant (2600 liter) salt water fish tank. (via royal pingdom

The television skies of Chiba City branded his brains in 1992. He hasn't recovered fully since. Re-wired his brain with a few years of FastTracker, hosted radio shows on the first .hu netradio for 4 years, went on to broadcast radio for another two. Worked on the absurd radio series Kónuszék, that actually led him to become a script writer for the multiple-award winning animation Nyócker.

Started LD50 in 2001, an alternative community portal for some, a media experiment for him. DJ'd and organized for 6 years @ Budapest: the first weekly gothic/industrial clubnights, the VK/jrock Nippon Shoxx and the biggest local industrial/cyber party series called Kollektíva, among many. Key figure behind the cyberpunk PDF magazine THE DOSE and he's making a comeback with it.

He's currently an IT/science journalist, with a love for weird stuff, Asian cuisine, pop culture, energy drinks, coffee and chili, eyecandy, Japan and a life-long devotion to all things cyberpunk & slipstream.
