picture of the week 23 (or so)

this week i got a letter with the picture below in it. some photographer took pictures of the people running at the gp. included was a payment order for 12.80 chf. i don’t think i’m gonna pay 13 bucks for a picture of me pulling up my pants, i’m gonna spend the same amount of bucks to a ticket to the movies tonight and a new towel :-)

NetnewsWire

i finally decided that it’s worth upgrading NetnewsWire to the full version, mostly because of the searching feature and the bloglines synching. i just downloaded the demo now, which will work for 30 days from now on. anoyne else want to pay for that nice piece of software? because when we pay more than one license, then each one pays 5$ less, which makes it worth that post.

leave a comment or send me an email so we can license-pool…

consumer frenzy

Threadlesssomg!

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.

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.
