i always wanted a bluetooth headset (only to be nerdy, not that i actually had a use for it). maybe i should make me my own, like this bloke did.

today i was again at a photo-shooting. a customer of the velokurier was looking for a model which was willing to show his ass to two old ladies (really!) the idea is that the ewb , the energy and water supplier of bern is providing everyone with energy here in bern (their slogan is “we pass on our energy”). the setup was like this: a messenger fills his water-bottle at one of the fountains in bern . two elderly ladies pass and watch his nice butt. since we all have nice butts they were looking for one of us who had time tonight. since the ad-agency preferred me to urs and renzo (urs has the wrong length of hair and they didn’t see renzos butt or the would have chosen him :-) i will be on that ad which comes out sometimes in november/december this year. it was quite annoying to stand there in full autumn-gear while the sun is shining down pretty strong. and both ladies were only marginally funny while they tried to make jokes about my butt so they would loosen up a bit for the pictures. we’ll see how the poster will turn out.

i can hardly remember the last time i blogged about new software i installed on my trusty ibook. now newsfire 0.2
(!) gets the honor to be featured here.
since i discovered the beauty and simpleness of reading most of the web via rss i’ve been using netnewswire lite
for all my rss-needs.
(btw: xeni jardin
(of boingboing
-fame) explains the whole rss-thing it nicely in her article
for WIRED 12.04).
since two of my fafourite mac-blogs (fscklog and powerbook-blogger ) seem to like it, i thought i’d give it a go and installed that impressive piece of software. i can hardly believe that the version number is 0.2!

look what mail i just got:
Dugong photos are very hard to find, and yours is truly wonderful.
We all love to make it available to people for a desktop. Here are some desktops donated by other photographers. http://www.earthjustice.org/supporter_center/gallery.html
This would help support our work to prevent the US govt from building an airbase on top of a dugong feeding ground in Japan.
Here is more about that lawsuit against the US Department of Defense. http://www.earthjustice.org/urgent/display.html?ID=154

after i’ve been fooling around with an unofficial beta-version today the official beta version of skype was released for os x . (and could not call anybody, because only bruni had it installed and he has troubles with his microphone…) skype is an internet-telephony software from the same people that brought you kazaa , the p2p filesharing software (and skype works in pretty much the same way, also through some p2p-trickery ).
so if you want to give me a call and listen to my voice, you can add “david.haberthuer” to your skype and test it out. i tried it out with b. and i must say that it works very much like intended and is absolutely hassle-free.

if my new model-career is not gonna pay off i can still start working in the oil-business:
this is at least what the berufskompass suggested after i (quickly) answered 75 questions…
(if you wonder, “singer ” and “inspizient ” are both listed last. which is kinda weird, because i also work in a theater (but only at the bar…)
[via berner gazette ] where some people also note that the job-compass might not be worth that much…
