Cute Overload, the name says it all. nothing but pictures of cute stuff, mostly animals and such. like mark frauenfelder said on boingboing, “Visiting it is like taking a happy pill”. you absolutely must look at the archives, there’s a lot of cuddly stuff there. really!

i seldom post jokes here, but this blonde joke just made me ROTFLOL.
it really did.
i know, i have a kinda crooked humor, or maybe i just need to go to bed.

update: stefan (elbewerk) posted a followup: now the spiegel online (one of the bigger german newsmagazines) picked up the joke, too. even funnier :-)
2nd update: the joke propagated quite a bit now: see here for a rather thorough investigation with a node graph (or full 136kb .png-file here) of the link sphere. i’m node 91, btw. [via haslo.ch]

the war of the worlds ecomic has been loitering around in my netnewswire-tabs [1] for some months now. every now and then, the darkhorse-team has been releasing a few new pages of their adaptation of the novel by h. g. wells.
if you also dig comics a lot, then you might give it a go.
[1] there’s some other stuff waiting, too:
yesterday i read on fscklog.com, that there’s a leaked version of google earth for os x in the wild. and today the uaw posted a link to macupdate.com, where you can download an unofficial beta release of the program. it works nicely on my mac, but your mileage may vary, and keep in mind that this is not an official release, so it might contain stuff you don’t want, i’ve warned you…
it worked for me, but may not for you. the faint of heart just wait ’till google officially releases it.
the image on the left shows a screenshot with some nice clouds scattered around the napf-gebiet.

there’s been cooking something for quite a long time, now everything seems to be going along really fine.
jan, nick, matthias and urs [1] fixed a date and set up a website/blog for it, so more infos will come along soon i guess!
if you’d like to add it to your calendar, then you can go here, i put it on upcoming.org.
[1] they even set up a postcheque-konto, so nothing can go wrong :-) (if you can do that, then you can do everything!)

click on the image on the left to check out this really hilarious viral back street boys video that xeni jardin linked on boingboing. it shows two basketball dorks in a chinese dorm performing a video of the back street boys (while their roommate silently frags away…). xeni is gonna talk about viral videos on NBC TODAY tonight (see here) and this video is gonna be the centerpiece of the show:
The centerpiece of Wednesday’s segment is a fan-made music video for the Backstreet Boys’ I Want It That Way. The homage is credited to “Two Chinese Students,” according to Google Video, and was uploaded there in July, 2005, after having been spotted on the China portal Sina.com.cn. Like AYBABTU, Numa Numa, Star Wars Kid, and the rest of its predecessors, this video now inhabits gazillions of otherwise productive desktops worldwide.
if you have major time to spare, you can check out some other funny videos on video.google.com, just search for “viral” and see your timeschedule melt!

i guess those four guys [1] would really rule all trackstand competitions although they chose the uber-cheesiest medley for their presentation.
[1] i linked to the coral cache version of the 37 mb .mpg-movie to ease the burden on the hk-icycling-server a bit. if it doesn’t work, try this direct link.

My blog is worth $11,855.34.
How much is your blog worth?
no matter how you think about trusted computing, you should take a look at that really nice street-art-styled movie [1] from lutz vogel [2] and benjamin stephan. you can either watch it directly on the movie-site or download it here in different formats and sizes or (maybe preferred to all the people involved) leech it with your desired bittorrent-client through this file.
definitely worth those three and a half minutes!

[2] check out lutz vogels other other short films and projects, they’re all rather brilliant!
[3] i’ve wanted to write that, since we first met :-)

as other people, i really suffer with all the persons that are hit by the hurricane in the states. but if you watch those two videos below, you really get a sense on how deep the trouble is gonna be once all the news get trough.
the first video shows two reporters of fox news really freaking out while giving their impression of the crisis. you should watch both videos to the end to see the important part!
Hannity-Colmes-Smith-Rivera-freak-in-NO.wmv (5.1mb .wmv-file).
the second video shows kayne west yelling a rather unplanned “George Bush doesn’t care about black people” while on a show with mike myers:
Kayne-West-Bush-Black-People.wmv (4.1mb .wmv-file)

Jan set up a wiki-list for web-people attending/covering the ars electronica this year.

since jan seems to like silly games, i got one for him here: tontie, some kind of whack-a-mole, but with a twist, which you’ll find out while playing

raph[1] posted a funny movie over at velocites blog: how not to win a race (.wmv-plugin necessary). rather bad luck.
[1] he returned from basel as the fastest european messenger. and rachel and nicola from bern also are european champions, rachel was the fastest woman on track and nicola is the best bunny-hopper. congratulations from me!
i forgot where i found the Productivity Tips For Avid Blog Readers, cause it got stuck in my NetNewsWire-Tabs somehow, but nonetheless it’s a good read (and made me check my list of blogs and unsubscribe one or two of ’em.)

mercedes again gives you 15 nice tracks to download. go to mixed-tape.com and download the 102 mb .zip-file including the artwork (annoying flash navigation, so no direct link).
and also go to filewile.com and grab dejots and dustbowls new track shlenco (5.3 mb .mp3), very groovy!

those guys are geeks, but also know where to make some funny additions to their code :-)
map.search.ch now features the water temperature of some pools and lakes in switzerland (e.g. in bern, where i just came from…).
they’re pulling in the data from wiewarm.ch, so if your favorite pool is not listed, you know where to go.
happy swimming!
like boingboing noted, star wars III is already online if albeit in a time-coded and watermarked version. if you want to see it, then click here :-) (or maybe that was another link…)
