gp bern II [update]

also schlussendlich hab’ ichs in 1:12.03 geschafft.
und nun nehm ich mir fest vor, nächstes jahr mehr als 2 mal joggen zu gehen vor dem GP!
ps: nimmt mich wunder, wie’s christian gelaufen ist.

update: christian hat den lauf erfolgreich beendet, gratuliere! und ich bin das ding eindeutig zu schnell angegangen, wenn mensch meine zwischenzeiten anguckt: nach 5 kilometer noch unter 4min/km und ab dann schon ziemlich drüber. für nächstes jahr brauche ich glaubich auch so ein lauf-unterstützendes gadget…

gp bern

vielleicht wird das ja doch noch was mit dem gp nächste woche: nachdem ich letzten samstag mein “training” wegen knieschmerzen auf halber strecke [1] abbrechen musste, hab ich heute immerhin fast 12 km ohne grössere beschwerden hinter mich gebracht. ich werd wohl meiner startnummer und bestzeit nicht gerecht (ich starte im ersten block, habe aber das training dieses jahr sträflich vernachlässigt, ich war 3 mal joggen…), aber werde immerhin mal versuchen zu starten…

gadgets for sale

i’m cleaning my closets and found some stuff, just waiting to be released back into the economy. i’m trying to sell the stuff on ricardo, so if you fancy some new techno-gear, go and have a look here.
i really can recommend the newton, a fine piece of machinery, but it’s just been collecting dust in my room, so i part with it. if you want something, and don’t want to bid on ricardo, send me a note, i’m shure we can work something out…

(oh, and don’t believe the descriptions, some of them are a bit marketing-babblish…)

picture of the week 15 – university ultimate tournament 2007

as you’ve maybe already seen in my flick-stream, i’ve been playing frisbee over the past weekend. we’ve made a team from unisport bern [1] to compete against other in the first university ultimate tournament in bruxelles, belgium. it was a blast, the weather was marvellous, although a tad too hot, the other teams were competitive and we had great games. unfortunately i had to leave a bit earlier, so i was not able to play the finals (and that’s why bern lost the final i think :-) and had quite a hard time until i got home, since the train broke down about half an hour after departure from bruxelles, so it took me a night in the ICE to get back home to switzerland, but the whole weekend was worth it.

the image below was shot in the train toward bruxelles, and is composed of 8 images i took standing on the armrest of tom’s chair, stitched together with hugin. if you’d like to see a quicktimeVR-file of the image below, you can click here (.mov-file, 588kb).

filewile – nassau massage

Filewile-Nassau-Massageandi and dänu aka filewile released their second album called nassau massage (press release in english or german).
technically they release it in about a month, on the 25.5., but if you want to listen to it (like i’ve done recently), you can already preorder it on their website, and expect a fast delivery. maybe not so fast as i did, ’cause i preordered the album on tuesday night, and andi dropped it in my mailbox on wednesday morning, together with the EP damn, to be released in a week :-)

so far, i really like the album a lot, all the songs are well groovy, some of them even have some radio-potential (as far as i can tell)… many songs feature great vocal artists like nicolette, mr. melody, rider shafique and also hometown hottie baze. if you get the cd, i recommend listening to watch the vibe with mr. shafique (am i right, andi?) and communication, with a great old-school beat. and if you first want to listen to some other filewile-songs, you can download a bunch of them absolutely free here. oh, and if you’re hanging out on myspace, you can add them as a friend, too. and if you want to buy some songs, they can be found in the itunes music store.

new mobile phone

i has got me a new mobile phone. it is supposed to be able to do video calls via UMTS. the person in the sunrise-shop that sold me the phone told me that it is possible to make videocalls between all the swiss providers, but contrary to that it doesn’t work. i know three people with an UMTS-video-enabled mobile phone, and none of them is provided by sunrise.
any of my readers want to ring me up, so i can try a video call? my number can be found on tel.search.ch. just search for my surname (haberthür) and the profession “rockstar” (really!) and give me a ring, so we can try seeing each other!

foldschool.com – downloadable DIY chairs for kids and geeks [update]

Signatur Def

Wp-Content Uploads Foldschoolnicolanicola finally made it!
his newest project as a designing architect is online: the foldschool – cardboard furniture.

since ages he’s made plans and models (filling the shopwindow in his studio), now everything is online, functional and looking good.

if you have kids [1], or are keen about cool mechatronic furniture-design this if for you!
you just need some scrap cardboard and the printed patterns from nicola, some time and probably a lot of glue. then you have uber-cool looking furniture with which the kids can play as the want. if they destroy it, you just build a new one with them. and even your conscience stays clean!

i you can’t quite figure it out how it looks, he even provides you with a 3D-model of the stool, chair and rocker.

and yes, he’s all over the web already and even got BBed!
congratulations nicola!

[1]: matthias, ein wochenendprojekt mit deinen kids? die fotos würd ich gerne dann auch sehen!

update: so sieht er vor seinem atelier aus:
