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.

go vote! [update]

 Images Pictures Noergeli-Gin 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.

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.

share your secrets – spy on others [update]

i really forgot how i found that page, but, postsecret.blogspot.com is really daunting and impressive. people are invited to “mail-in their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard”. i just added the feed to my newsreader, so i’m not gonna miss any secrets ever again….

ps: piece, you’re gonna like this secret :-)

ps: after reading most of them, i thought this secret is the creepiest of all of ’em.

update: probably [via boingboing]

oh, and if you’re wondering why my tags are not working (e.g see the tag:emmen, which i pinged some days ago): technorati has some problems accessing my site:

curl: (23) Failed writing body

after getting in touch with adriaan he found out that the problem is not ecto-based, but more on the technorati site.

technorati-support wrote something like:

maybe he has some kind of referrer blocker or User-Agent blocker that is hosing the spider and curl

i just love it, when i have no idea what could be b0rked. i guess i misconfigured something with my .htacces-file that helps me with my image-leechers and serves them this image. i hope b. is able to figure out what went wrong…

i’ll keep you updated.
