btw: the photo-shooting i mentioned some days ago happened without me (through some organization hiccup, i was scheduled on wednesday, but then they switched it to thursday so that i couldn’t go).
ah, well, in this case no new ipod for me, instead i got me a second digi-cam :-)
oh, and arlette mentioned that maybe i can walk in a fashion show on the 20th march, i’ll keep you updated…
today when i checked my mail i nearly couldn’t believe it, i got 176 new mails in my gna-inbox. first i thought it’s a major hit of mydoom.a, but then i found out, that it’s just a major issue of blog-spam.
not too bad, the guy (i suppose it’s a guy, so no offense to all my female readers…) managed to spam each and every entry on my blog. despite i have MTBlacklist installed, all the keywords he used slipped through MTBlacklist’ filter.
it’s gonna cost me quite some time do de-spam the whole blog.
ps: yes, i know i had 195 entries on my blog and only have 176 mails in my gna-inbox. the other 19 mails were filtered to my spam-box (which you can also see on the screenshot above) and were immediately deleted…
update: thanks to spamcop the people at ev1 got a little note, telling them that the ip 207.44.162.2 did a massive spamming this morning… let’s see what they do about.
i couldn’t live without music!
my itunes is always set on random working through 1304 songs (at the moment), and now it played “club soda” by thomas bangalter which is about the grooviest electro-track ever made.
i remember the first time i heard that song: it was when i watched a dvd i won in a competition, vanity9. i had the videobeamer of a friend and watched it around two o’clock in the morning nearly on full volume. that track just blew me away.
if you click on the link above you get to the site where you can watch some samples of that dvd, if you just want to listen to a sample then click here (from the d@ft crew samples page)
warning: if you cannot handle go-go-girls dancing quite – let’s say – stimulative, then you probably should not click on the links above and only listen to the sample.
filewile (andi‘s and dejot’s mobile laptop duo) put up a new track for you to download, a remix for scream.
i don’t really like scream, so i think i have to listen to the song at least twice, but as you can see, it’s on my playlist.
yes, i know that MTAmazon does a bad job at finding the right picture for filewile, but i cannot do anything about it…
check out phil torrones portable geek gym, which he posted on his geek-blog.
you have to watch the movie (.mov, 2.8 mb) to get the point, the picture does not fully account the geekness of it.

my wintercurry (
) doesn’t look like the one in the recipe (german only), but was really really really tasty none the less.
and the guys and gals at work liked it a lot, so if you do not know what to cook tomorrow, this is a good one to try.
btw: wastun.ch sends you a nice recipe to try out each and every week.
they call the recipes “open source”, because all the recipes are special recipes from users who send them in.
so most of the recipes have a really original touch, use some special ingredients (or do you ever use celery rods for cooking? me neither, but the risotto was fabulous.).
if you look at the titles of all the recipes most of them have a special twist and are good to spruce up your in-the-head-cook-book.
physics teacher
no physics teacher anymore
feels kinda sad, but good nonetheless.
tomorrow morning i have the last physics lessons, and to make these little critters keep me in her mind i’ll make some instant ice-cream (scroll down to see a movie).
i think someone needs an english lesson.
wireless means no wires, dude!

when i take a look at my referres (or inbound links) then something amazes me:
why am i the first hit at google.ch when someone looks for the ipod mini?
(besides that the referrers are full of spam…)

this is the perfect song for hip-hop-fanatics and blog-fanatics (like me.).
read the whole lyrics at the hiphopmusic blog.
my new feature on this page only works on non-safari-browsers:
if you are surfing with something different (IE, Mozilla, or else) and reload my page (the root page, not the blog here…) you’ll see a new icon on top instead of the boring-plain-vanilla-icon.
(the top address bar is from safari, the bottom one is from camino, in which the favicon-feature works as supposed)
thanks to this web-page i have a fancy personal favicon which will show you clearly whose page you bookmarked (you actually have to bookmark and reopen the page that it works in IE.)
the picture is my favorite one of me. it’s a picture which nina made with her not-fancy-at-all camera while we were sitting at the beach in lanzarote in july 2002 lecce in october 2001 (what was i thinking, it’s even in the filename. silly me).
virtopsy was in the newspaper yesterday.
sounds really interesting, give it a read if you haven’t already done.
nina won two return-tickets with helvetic.com, the new swiss airline.
guess who was invited :-)
not too bad to fly to vienna for 120 bucks for two persons, aight?
and yes, i would not take the plane to go to vienna, because for the same price (without rebate) you can take the night train which overall is only one or two hours slower, if you account for the check-in time and travel to the airport and travel from the airport and stuff like that. but nonetheless, an almost-free flight is pretty cool, don’t you think?
and the best thing is that helvetic.com gave away 10’000 free tickets this december. and guess who still has a ticket for one flight to vienna, valencia, alicante, bruxelles, palma the mallorca or malaga left? that’s right, me. so i “have” to fly to one of these cities until the end of march. decisions, decisions…
this evening arlette called me.
arlette is franziska’s stylist, which helps her for the campaigns that franziska makes the pictures.
they are seeking some people for a campaign for la redoute who stand around a tram while a girl in a bikini enters that tram (this is gonna be freezing, because at the moments it’s subzero conditions here)
and if i can go, then i’ll get me a new ipod from the money i get. mine starts to act strange and the guy at apple-store told me on the phone (after keeping me in the waiting line for 15 minutes…) that a repair costs 360.- (100 bucks less than a new ipod with three times the capacity). full stop.
ps: the last time i modeled i got me a digital camera for the money, so this would just be a natural progression …
dolphin dash could not have been named better. a fast-paced game in which you have to guide a dolphin to collect coins, featuring a past-paced surf guitar soundtrack and a freakingly colorful background. (375 kb flash game)

i definitely have to think about a way to submit a picture to dubsters car-site :-)
how good do you know famous people?
how good do you know them when they’re reduced to some pixels?
download this excel-file (256kb) and see for yourself!
(open the file, then insert the names. watch for the the’s, e.g. “a-team” is wrong while “the a-team” is correct.
yes, they’re really there)
i managed to recognise 19, but with sigi‘s suggestions we managed to get 27 of 95 right. (i’d never ever recognized the corrs and simon & garfunkel).
how much do you get right? leave a comment!
btw: perhaps you wonder how i got that file?
no, not from flipflopflyin, where all the minipops come from (and david with one long arm, too) but through pure coincidence!
yesterday evening i was trying out some tiny urls:
– my tiny url leads to a 404-page
– my sisters tiny url leads to a .dmg of some program to vectorize images.
– my girl’s tiny url leads to the times online.
– and sigi‘s tiny url leads to the aforementioned file.
see? pure coincidence!
check out this sweet animation called the drummachine.

boinboing’s link-fu-competition is always a plethora of really weird stuff, but this one blows it all!
a movie (probably czech according to the TLD, although the filename suggest that it’s finnish) where a guy shows you how to dance “disco” really well. you absolutely have to watch the whole movie (6.8 mb mpeg), it’s absoluhutely hilarious!
boingboing‘s link-Fu is an online competition where during a predetermined period of time boingboing readers send a url that links to a very weird something, somewhere.
other winners are:
i just love that quote:

oh, and by the way: the resemblance of the title with the new campaign of a burger-selling company is purely accidental.
(have you seen the commercia in the movies? it’s so bad you want to start to cry immediately, an absolutely lamo ad (7.8 mb mpeg-file) featuring a really silly swiss-german rap-song…)
