picture of the week 21
summer is here: we were having a little boat trip down the aare, passing heavy waves, hanging around from bridges and then chillaxing in the eichholz.
the picture below shows manu and his sister just before jumping from the bridge (2.3 mb .mpg-movie) and lukas just hanging around below.

frisbee
i’ve been playing ultimate frisbee today, we had the swiss university championships here in bern (quite a fancy name for a little tournament with 4 teams). if you’d like to see the 14 good images of the bunch i took, then step over to the /pics-section please. thank you.

consumer frenzy
omg!
i just couldn’t resist. after stumbling over a link to the threadless t-shirts on waxy.org i ordered ten t-shirts from them, because i could not decide which ones to get, they’re all almost too cool not to buy. i got into a complete shopping frenzy, because all the t-shirts are only 10$ until june 6th. and because i really really love printed t-shirts i ended up maniacally clicking on the “add to cart” button.
could you have resisted, when you see a t-shirt with an ice bear on it? i guess you could have resisted, but not me…
ps: splint, one of the t-shirts is a gift for you, guess which one.

picture of the week 20
i went to a brunch at julias place yesterday. she has a really nice backyard with a big bunch of flowers. those in the image below were well past their expiry date, but nice nonetheless. do you know their name? leave a comment.

finisher!
i just finished the gp in a time of 1:11:21. i know i’ll have to stay in bed tomorrow, ’cause i’ve not been training very properly (i went for a 45′ run twice – not a week, but literally twice since the last gp) and am gonna have so sore muscles that i won’t be able to leave my bed. now i’m off for a massage.
have a funny afternoon
in case you need something a bit funny to get you over the lazy saturday afternoon, you can watch those ringtone dancer movies over at contagiousmedia.org (you might want to turn off the sound if you’re at work…).
if you’re really brave, you can download the ringtone (484kb .mp3) and dance yourself!

HuginOSX goes beta
Ippei released the beta version of HuginOSX (16.4mb .zip-file) with a lot of improvements and some stuff that is mac-specific (i.e. better than on the other hugin-versions). the good panorama solution got better!

mac put a bunch of pictures from spain online on the divecenter-page. if you want to see them, go to dck.ch click on Fotos in the Navigation Bar and then on the “Hier gehts zu den Fotos”-Link under Auffahrt on Spanien (or click here if you want to see just the images without the dck-context.)

katamari damacy
i’ve always said, that i’m not a gamer, but if katamari damacy is really gonna be released as a mobile version, then i’m never ever gonna lay down my phone or buy a psp (which i might do anyway)…

go vote! [update]
in about two weeks we the swiss vote for or against schengen. the right wing politicians started a scare monger-campaing featuring comics-styled ads. i haven’t voted yet, but am making sure i do in the next few days. all of my – swiss – readers, don’t remember to cast your vote and write yes what you want on the little slip of paper.
[via bitflux, image via y-e-s.ch]

sunday afternoon
some city-inline-skating.
pictures of escala are online
if you haven’t seen them alredy, you might want to step over to the pictures section, to see the 62 most watch-worthy pictures i took last weekend. some are underwater, but most of them didn’t turn out that good, mostly ’cause the water was hazy.

picture of the week 18
i’ve been diving this weekend, and christened my underwater-case for my digital camera. turns out that it’s quite hard to take good pictures in the Mediterranean in may. i’m sorting through all the pictures, but at a first glance i liked the one below quite good.
it’s sigi at about 16m below surface exiting the cave at the dive-site tres covas. looks like a thing from outer space.

sponsored flickeres.
i gave matthias (gutfeldt.ch or blog.ch) and stephan (stefanbucher.net) both my pro-accounts i got from flickr. so you might want to add those two streams to your watchlist.
now i have to resume packing, a task i really do not like. i only like the stuff that comes afterwards; holidays.
