coding something can be quite a long process for me. anja mailed me some picture which i wanted to put on the homepage of the SUICMC04 . since i wanted to do it in the simplest and cleanest possible way i thought to make little table with links to all of the pictures, so that when you click on them, they pop up in a new window with the right size, with a nifty “close window”-link. in the end it turned out to be a longer process than i thought:

since the timedifference between the finishers of le grand boucle on sunday is probably gonna be minuscule i thought it’s interesting to know how people actually figure out who comes in first or not after those 180km stages. engadget has a nice little explanation on all the high-tech involved in the timekeeping of the tour de france .

this weekend i wanted to go kiting with bruni. the problem was that the wind was really bad at the bielersee . we hardly managed to keep the kite in the air (although it’s a 12 squaremeter-thing) and thought it’s no use to try it in the water. then we just couldn’t find a suitable place at the neuenburgersee (i’ve been checking out kitegenossen just now :-( ) so the whole weekend was (kite-style) a big disappointment. nonetheless i made a nice picture in neuchatel which you can see below.

this guy took some serious calculations to see how many ways there are to spell viagra (you know, those little pills that everyone tries to sell you via email). this is just one of the funny posts on the newly discovered memepool.

thomas allenbach from the bund wrote a pretty good review of the upcoming movie spiderman 2 (although he managed to call peter parker - who is spiderman - peter barker at least six times and no-one noticed…). the fueled my desire to go and see the movie, because i always dug spiderman comics and think sam raimi has a good hand with fiction-films.

to relieve some pain of waiting, you can watch the trailer , that apple provides on their trailer-page . but better (and a lot funnier) is to watch the movie spiderman: the peril of doc ock from spite your face productions which is as hilarious as it is brilliant, because it’s a full-featured, albeit short movie done fully as a stop-motion lego animation! amazing!

the first one is funny: the point of the online-game on wagenschenke.ch is to walk back home with well too much alcohol. i managed to walk 75 meters this morning, when hamme showed me that game, but i cannot seem to replicate the result now to post a screenshot, maybe i’ll be able to do that later.

the second one is interesting in a physicists way: the new scientist points out that the speed of light might have changed recently, which would change a lot in traditional physics (read the article to get the point of “recently”). the change in the constant c would imply some problems with other constants, but is quite handy in a greater view, e.g. if you want to explain some interesting things like the horizon-problem in our universe (again, this is a physicist kind of problem, so you don’t need to worry :-)
