today Renzo gave me his MemoryStick with the pictures he made in luzern this saturday (he owns exactly the same camera a I do, funnily enough).
and there were quite some cool pictures of me on it, i especially like these:

i’ll shurely post some more in the pictures-section soon….
PS: if you want to read some more and see a perfect action-shot of Simu, then click here.
Oh, and BTW, Simu is the rapper and MC of Yedi, quite a cool band from the neighbourhood.

update: Renzos pictures are online.

my pictures from yesterday are online!
i’m still working on the movies, i don’t wanna fill up chris’ server with tons of junk :-)

do you know those two gay tigerhugging wackos that look like they’re still stuck in the eighties?
well, roy got hurt last friday (guess by what…) and is now in the hospital in critical condition.
hope he survives or the second one of “the masters of the impossible” has to think about a new name for his performance.

my second place in the qualification runs	my gift for being number ten of all swiss bike messengers. (btw: pia won the women main race and got that gift…)

i have plenty of pictures more and also some cool movies, which i’ll try to post tomorrow or monday, also with some indeep explanation for all non-messengers…

good night

PS: i hate to use tables to overcome the general uprettyness in html-layout.

you decide which link is funny and which is my plans for tomorrow :-)

• Housegymnastics
• SUICMC03

hint: i’ll take my camera with me, so expect a bunch of pictures of freaks doing crazy stuff (or was that no hint?)

this guy’s a freak, but has a cool car setup…

this guy is a freak too, but he put up a perfect electronic music guide

all these people are freaks!

well, this is the fifth entry for tonight, and definitely time to go to bed.
this is the only picture i’m gonna share with the internet from my holidays exept the one before.

it was wonderful!

i you know what kind of grasshopper this is, then post a comment :-)

i’ve seen it in the asklepieion during my holidays in kos, greece.

Smartvote¹ seems like a good approach to the upcoming parliament elections here in switzerland because it helps you narrow down your possible candidates to elect.
the user (probably you) has to answer either 24 or 70 questions (dubbed smartvote rapide or deluxe) about actual political problems and decide how he/she would decide.
then smartvote matches your “political profile” to all the candidates in it’s database which also filled out that questionnaire.
this makes the process of voting a bit less painful, or at least a bit more accurate, because up to now i couldn’t be bothered to actually look up all the candidates i wanted to elect. i just dropped down the list of the political parties i support… (which get a 72.4% and 74.5% compliance with my answers…)
and amazingly enough, Ursula Wenger-Kupferschmied (with quite a kooky smile) from the evangelic party has the highest accordance (77.6%) with my ideas :-)
talk about politically uninterested geeks :-)
¹(which does not work at the moment but did this morning…)

update: the site is working again, so that i could generate my political profile…

well, i have to admit, that Proce55ing looks like the next thing to be with graphical fooling around on the net.
check out the sourcecode of this example, it’s amazingly lightweight!

(i read a nice article in the latest wired, and thought, i’d check out the site, it really looks like it’s got the ability to beat flash and all else…)

cannot afford an ipod?
then click here, print out, cut at the according lines, bend, glue and be happy :-)

(link from various sites over the net, including gizmodo, ipodlounge and boingboing)

i wonder why they call it the grand canyon series displays :-)

and now for something completely different: my holidays in kos were absolutely beautiful, thanks for asking…

i will be here with nina until the 29th september.
(and i do not have gprs-coverage in greece, so don’t expect even a tiny update…)

after some ego-googling i found: the HABi-spicery!

these guys are wild!
(here are more infos on the G5 supercluster at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University)

update: read more on apple.slashdot.org (also for some funny comments on this)

today i reached 4454 km on my bike (i didn’t have my camera with me at 4444km, so this was after i finished to work today…).
i got my odometer sometimes around the beginning of april this year. so this means that i drive around 10000 km a year on my bike, hence 1.141553 km/h (only at work, i drive quite a bit when i do not work…)
i could do a lot more calculations with my odometer: i consistently drive around 100 km during one work day, and make a bit more than 200 CHF on one day, so for each kilometer i drive at work i earn something like a cheap little bread or one of these king-size mars bars or half a coke in the restaurant or 2 CHF.
i need to get a shower :-)

this sounds a bit strange for me: i knew that text messages are not the hype-thing in the us of a, but that it’s considered big news by mobiletracker, that one can send SMS to other countries does sound a bit like oldfashioned news indeed…

btw: read this entry on gizmodo for another view on this :-)

today i went shopping a little bit (free afternoon, because all my classes are already on holidays and i’m only biking around 50 % of my time…): some little stuff for the upcoming week, i’ll be in greece, and then went to jäggi, because you can read all the comics you want without bein bothered.
near the comics FUST has an electronica-shop which i never can resist and always go and have a little look: today i spotted the perfect replacement for my old VCR, which is not far away from dying: the Panasonic DMR-HS2 , a combination of HD- and DVD-recorder which can fit up to 52 hours of video on its disk.

then i was looking things up a little bit and found out, that there are some other rivals of the DMR-HS2:

• first, the DMR-E80S, also from Panasonic which “Replaces the DMR -HS2 and also adds MP3 Playback and doubles the recording time by having an 80GB hard drive.” and funkyly costs 300$ less (according to froogle.google.com)
• then the TVS 100 from Fast, which has no recorder, but a network option, so you can FTP your recorded series to your Mac or PC to burn it to VCD, SVCD or DVD.
  Its bigger brother can even be programmed over the web.
• the computec dm-d100, sitting on the same shelf at FUST (with no avaliable info on google :-) which is cheaper (1000 CHF as opposed to the 1500 CHF one has to pay for the DMR-HS2) but has no recording nor networking ability. it sports a 120 Gb-HD and seems very plasticky, but hey, who needs archiving :-)

so we get to the conclusion: if you got some bucks to spare to help my geekness, then drop me a line :-)

update: gizmodo just wrote about the new ultraslim HD-recorders from sharp, which includes a firewire-port… (click on sharp to see a babelfish-translation of the page…)

i think my geekness could only be satisfied if i lived in japan.
i wonder when the new clie ux50 is gonna come out here in switzerland (with integrated wifi, bluetooth, keyboard, camera, a big-ass screen and a polished palm os…)

update: well, it actually does come out here somewhere in october for a hefty entry price of 930 CHF. dream on dreamer!
