like always, all good things in life are free: MTV has an upcoming show called MTV Mash . the french duo Loo & Placido made all the bootlegs for that show. the bootlegs that MTV turned down are now available from their L&D’s site. if you don’t want to sift through their page, the boingboing-post linked below has the direct links to all the mp3’s. go and grab ’em. “Pound for Pound” and “Golden Bastard” are my favorites

those of you who like humor a bit on the bizarre side will be pleased to know that nichtlustig.de now also features a rss-feed , so you won’t ever again miss one of the (not so) daily comics!

the flagrant blogger links to an amazing movie , but i think the other movie of that guy is even better. judge for yourself! (both .swf-movies are quite hefty on the big side, but it’s worth the wait!)
oh, and the page of the guy which made those two gems has the funniest navigation i’ve ever seen :-)

this is what happens if you walk out of the store, try to see where you parked your bike and then walk into a pole.
a big ouchy!
i think i’ll need to go and buy some more steristrips tomorrow ;-) (warning: the link is not for the faint of heart, it was the first hit on google…)
update: although my eye starts to get a funky bruise, my ouchie is nothing compared to this one here . that guy got six nails from a nail-gun in his head!!! [via boingboing ]

tomorrow i’ll be in lucerne at the fumetto . i cannot wait to see katz und goldt , their strips are hilarious! the weather won’t be nice tomorrow which is a good thing, because i’m not gonna get distracted by the beautiful view over the lake of lucerne and be able to drown me in reading comics all day long.

if you’re like me and think that voting is a big part of democracy then this site might be the right thing for you: votez.ch
(for obvious reasons only in german).
since sometimes the point of a ballot can be hard to get (especially if the title is misleading) then some background information can be really helpful to help you find your decision
the people behind votez.ch
provide you with little blurbs of information for the upcoming elections or ballots and explain you the pro’s and con’s of every tabling
and even tell you who says to vote yes or no (e.g. if you always vote with the SP, they tell you what the SP advises to vote).
the good thing behind votez.ch is, that the people which are behind it do not share one political direction. they actually think that politics sucks a wee bit, but also know that it’s important (especially as younger people) to cast its vote in elections.
so, if you think you might need a little boost to actually fill out that slip of paper, then you definitely should subscribe to their newsletter
and you’ll get an email tailored about two weeks before you actually have to send the ballot in.

this morning i went to thomu
to see if he has any good bikes to offer (he has). i knew that my mom went to roschu
around noon to buy a bike for herself today, so i tried to be there as fast as possible (because i wanted to help her a bit and was already late).
the calculated route from oberried to roschus shop (according to map24.ch ) is 11.39 km and takes 19 minutes. with my bike i drove the 9.34 km in 13 minutes and 50 seconds, resulting in an average speed of 40.5 km per hour. not too bad, aight? now the question is, do i really need a bike that is faster than the one i already own? answer: yes, because it’s even more fun to drive fast with a racing bike than with a street-capable mountain bike.

i’ve been looking forward to getting that mail since november, so i’m a happy puppy now :-) now i can start looking for the right parts to build my custom made bike-dream….

i could slap my head! i’ve been trying to write some files to my flash-stick for about three hours now. the thing was, that the permissions were not set right, so i thought this is some unixy hiccup, no big deal.
i tried to verify the disk itself and tried to repair the disk permissions using the disk utility. nothing. i relaunched the finder. nothing. i tried to reformat the stick using the terminal. nothing. i even tried to rm some files on it using su. nothing (this was l33t-sp34k ). i looked up osxhints how to possibly resolve that issue. nothing hell, i even rebooted my ibook, a thing only for severe problems. nothing. and just about now i found out that the little dip-switch on the stick was set on write-protect. again. i. could. slap. my. head!
