Leidenschaft für Menschen

Sonntag. Ich mag Sonntage. Heute war wieder einer dieser Sonntage, an denen ich permanent das Gefühl hatte, dass mir jemand Watte in die Ohren gesteckt hat. Sehr angenehm ruhig alles mit einem Mal, gedämpft. Verliebt in eine Gruppe junger Männer, an denen ich mit einem Becher Kaffee in der Hand vorbeigehe. Eine schwarze Katze hockt unter einem weißen Auto und guckt. Sonntag als nutzlosester Tag der Woche. Als Tag für Telefongespräche mit Verwandten und Familienmitgliedern, als Tag für vertraute Gespräche zu dritt und als Tag der Phantasie.

Using open-source software, cheap components and fabrication tools that were once available only in large machine shops, people like Ms. Fried are finding their own niches in the high-tech marketplace. Many are using the Web to share information and sell their wares. And several start-up companies are now catering to people with the urge to tinker.

Across the country, aspiring writers are using Craigslist not just as a place to offload their futons, but as a pixeled writing workshop where they test their stabs at social satire on some of the more than 30 million visitors that the site draws each month. Their personal ads ostensibly seek a soul mate, but what they’re really looking for is an audience.
