best. music video. ever! [video]

now that’s one creative music video! it’s hard to take the eyes off the real-world video effects, but don’t miss the real progress bar at the bottom, very clever! hard to believe that the video was taken in one shot…
oh, and the song is very catchy, too…

stefan sagmeister on design and happiness [video]

the tedtalks are always inspriring and a great watch, (as i’vee said before…), but this one from stefan sagmeister has some more to it.

in his 15-minutes-talk he reveals a lot of stuff that makes him happy, culminating in some points that make him more happy than before.
seems that there are some very good points in this list.
i’ll try to stick to those for a moment, the points seem noteworthy!

– Complaining is silly. Either act or forget.
– Thinking life will be better in the future is stupid. I have to live now.
– Being not truthful works against me.
– Helping other people helps me.
– Organizing a charity group is surprisingly easy.
– Everything I do always comes back to me.
– Drugs feel great in the beginning and become a drag later on.
– Over time I get used to everything and start taking if for granted.
– Money does not make me happy.
– Traveling alone is helpful for a new perspective on life.
– Assuming is stifling.
– Keeping a diary supports my personal development.
– Trying to look good limits my life.
– Worrying solves nothing.
– Material luxuries are best enjoyed in small doses.
– Having guts always works out for me.

ouch!

even with a nice bike some bad stuff can happen:

exhibit a: the offending object
Dsc04757R-1


exhibit b: the handlebar (after changing it…)
notice the small dent on the left side :-)
Dsc04759


exhibit c: the result, shoulder and elbow, knee not shown.
Dsc06878Dsc06881Dsc06882Dsc06883


i’m really happy that nothing really severe happened (to the bike, ’cause i’m healing quite well…) so i guess i was lucky.

mixed-tape 18

mercedes released another mixed-tape, this time its the last version, the 18th. they’re having a break until further notice. if you’ve downloaded all the past mixed-tapes (if you haven’t here you can find them all), there is no need to download the new one, since it’s just a best-of all the previously released tracks.
a pity, because they’ve always released some very good tracks. let’s see what the future brings…
