mercedes released yet another mixed tape , this time number 13.

go and get it, while it’s hot, it will only stay until sometimes in september.

if you missed the mixtapes that were released before (it’s always really nice music, and legally free to download), you can get them as a bittorrent via the broadcast-station of the sexy admin .

do you want to see how your lung capacity compares to top athletes? for the first time it’s now possible to test your lung directly on the internet through a nifty new algorithm. you can take the free lung test here .

the screenshot on the left shows my capacity at the start of the test (i was better when i didn’t press command-shift-4…).

let me know in the comments how you did!

if you want to see a rather well done piece of machinima (made using the CounterStrike game-engine and selected for the Tribeca Film Festival ) then point your browser to Deviation .

watch it yourself!

Dropped into the middle of a mission and faced with the prospect of climbing into an ambush at the end of a manhole tunnel, Macintyre strives to convince the other squad members that there is another way…

i might be possible that the revolution will happen and that you won’t notice it, ‘cause according to this brilliant rant , the revolution will not be blogged! (what a pity)

Or those irritating graphics that take over your whole screen.

You will not have to worry about having the latest Macromedia

Flash, Macromedia Shockwave or Macromedia Goddamn plugin.

The revolution will not work at all in Opera.

they’re made out of meat is a short-film adaptation of nebula award winner terry bissons story about two extraterrestrials having a funny and also a bit gross talk in restaurant at the end of the universe (or was that another story).

the dialogue is quite funny:

“Meat?”

“There’s no doubt about it. We picked up several from different parts of the planet, took them aboard our recon vessels, and probed them all the way through. They’re completely meat.”

der leumund hat endlich sein neuestes spielzeug - bloggrrr.com - vorgestellt (die prasentation liess zu wunschen ubrig, er weiss es, also fertig mit dem leumundbashing :-).

obs funktioniert, weiss ich nicht, ich hab mich registriert, und als englisch-sprachiges schweizer blog eingetragen, aber auf bloggrrr.com/CH/en [1] tauch ich noch nicht auf.

oder ist das ganze noch web-2.0-beta-ajax-massig unterwegs?
