best. blond. joke. ever. [2nd update]

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]

google earth for os x

Googleearthnapfyesterday 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.

back street boys rule! (or so…)

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!

trusted computing

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!

the us of a is in deep trouble.

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!

Geraldo-1 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:
