i want that car
Wednesday, May 26, 2004
today the newest wired
arrived.
as always, when scanning it for worthwhile stuff to read, my eyes get caught on the “fetish” page
. nope, it’s not your normal fetish like latex and leather and stuff like that, but shining and gleaming gadgets and gizmos.
this time, the wired staff portrayed the toyota volta
, a hybrid concept car.
the volta is the bigger and much much spiffier brother of the toyota prius
, which is a really big hit in the us.
i presume that hybrid cars are the only way electric cars are ever gonna be popular. (heck, even gearbits
loves it :-)
a hybrid car is - for all those that do not know - a car that has both a conventional engine and an electrical engine.
both share the work, the electrical engine all the work where a conventional one is not good, e.g. accelerating and small burst of power, and the conventional engine comes to help when maximal power is needed, like on auto-routes.
thus, such cars manage to be really fuel-efficient and environmentally safe (at least many of times safer than a normal car) while leaving the man or woman behind the steering wheel with the experience of a real car, so no charging of the battery or searching for that hydrogen filling stations.
kraftwerk
Sunday, May 23, 2004
in case anyone of you didn’t go to the kraftwerk-concert 1 last wednesday or thursday in the reithalle or didn’t see the pictures of it in the blog-o-hood , then here are the ones i made:
as i told reto the day after, it was not really a concert, more a performance, because the visuals actually blasted me away, the music was pretty the same as on their records. as piece notes, a video of the show would be amazing (he links to two smallish videos in his post) ↩︎

after submitting a comment spam to the MT-Blacklist, i stopped by at jayallens blog , and found an interesting link. bopuc proposes a way to view all the comments on your blog as a rss feed, spruced up with all the relevant links to despam and edit the comment and info of the commenter. here are the directions:
- go to your MT-HQ and make a new template. call it something you remember and insert a filename for it (e.g. something.xml)
- paste the code below into the text field.
SubEthaEdit 2.0
Tuesday, May 18, 2004
SubEthaEdit made the jump to version 2.0. As fsck-log notes, even if you don’t need it, it has to be on every mac, one of the most amazing pieces of software, and extremely fast and helpful for writing down stuff (even simultaneously together and alike). oh, and after looking at the screenshots , i’ll even use SubEthaEdit to code that occasional latex-file i write…

folding your t-shirt [update]
Sunday, May 16, 2004
this is amazing! i had to watch that movie (1.4mb .wmv) at least five times to get it. but from now on i’ll fold all my t-shirts that way, my mom will be jealous, if i show that to her. i’m gonna be the faster t-shirt-folder than her :-)

grand prix
Wednesday, May 12, 2004
last weekend i ran the grand prix of bern . i’m not really a big runner, nonetheless i managed to run the ten most beautiful miles on earth in a time of 1h, 9min and 27 seconds. not too bad for that my training consisted of going for a run three times prior to the race :-)
if you want to see how i’ve been doing after those 16.023 km, then you can click here and see my finish (courtesy of finisherclip.de ). i’m the guy in the pale blue shirt on the left finishing just seconds after the guy in the yellow tank-top and black shirt finishes. (and i love the woman shouting: “super schampu” afterwards :-)

Wednesday, May 12, 2004
during the first weekend of next october the Suisse Cycle Messenger Championships 04 will take place here in bern. if you want to take a sneak-peak at the website of the SUICMC04, then you might want to click here . everything is up and running, just “hidden” from the general public until all quirks are sorted out. yesterday, michel and abu spent the whole day designing and putting the page online, and i spent a part of the morning with abu to design and implement the registration-database. everything is live now, so if you want to register yourself on a messenger-event, then you can do it now, i’ll flush the MYSQL-db before the site goes online for real.
