Gadgets and Gizmos

i has got me a new mobile phone . it is supposed to be able to do video calls via UMTS. the person in the sunrise-shop that sold me the phone told me that it is possible to make videocalls between all the swiss providers, but contrary to that it doesn’t work. i know three people with an UMTS-video-enabled mobile phone, and none of them is provided by sunrise. any of my readers want to ring me up, so i can try a video call? my number can be found on tel.search.ch . just search for my surname (haberthür) and the profession “rockstar” (really!) and give me a ring, so we can try seeing each other!

nicola finally made it! his newest project as a designing architect is online: the foldschool - cardboard furniture.

since ages he’s made plans and models (filling the shopwindow in his studio), now everything is online, functional and looking good.

if you have kids [1], or are keen about cool mechatronic furniture-design this if for you! you just need some scrap cardboard and the printed patterns from nicola, some time and probably a lot of glue. then you have uber-cool looking furniture with which the kids can play as the want. if they destroy it, you just build a new one with them. and even your conscience stays clean!

is any of my readers interested to try out joost ? it’s the thing that was formerly called the venice project and is a bit the same as zattoo , but not enterly [1]. read more about joost in the last wired here .

since i’ve signed up for betatesting joost quite a while ago, i’ve got 2 1 2 invitations no more invitations to spare. leave a comment below (with your email, i need it to send you the invitation, but i won’t spam you…). first come, first serve!

i’ve written about jeff han already , now i’ve stumbled over a new demo of the multi-touch-gui he and his colleagues are developing (they’ve been contacted by apple for the iphone-gui, but are not involved with it). watch the video below and be amazed (close your mouth, or you’ll drool over your keyboard…)

are you not very happy with your body? feel a bit fluffy or overweight, then get a wii a and play 30 minutes of wii sports for 6 weeks , and your BMI is going down (statistically significant , if i might add :-)

we got to take along our macbooks or macbook pros, and then we can talk on the skype phone and play pong at the same time!

i’ve got it installed already, so we can have some serious fun next time…

since i’ve been mentioned in the berner zeitung two weeks ago i thought it’s time to take a look at the access-statistics of my site once again [1].

since i let google get some data about my visitors, i also have a fancy-schmanzy widget , that shows me at a quick glance if something remarkable is going on (click on the left image for bigger view). and i have to say that one could really see that quite some people came to my site in the days after the article came out [2]. one can see it much better on the following graph, when it’s not the naked numbers… on friday the 10. november the article came out and in the two following days i had around 2-3 times more people on my little website than normal (click right image for slightly bigger view). quite nice, innit?
