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:

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!

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!

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

i won’t be there, but surely will watch that list for coverage and images…

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!
