None

i’ve always wanted to get a bluetooth headset for my mobile (not that i needed it, but as a tech-addict you can’t argue with that :-) but thought that they’re far too clumsy to actually use them. but today i saw the nextlink bluespoon 5g headset which is far from clumsy. it looks like you have to pay attention not to loose it in your pockets. you should especially check out this picture from the gallery to see how tiny it is. sadly it’s only a prototype for now, nextlinks page does not advertise is anywhere…

too bad i cannot add this to my amazon wishlist ! as an avid swimmer i’d love to have an endless pool in my basement or so. at least they send out a free video, so i can dream on a bit :)

oh, and by the way, i wish you all a happy easter, i’ll be away skiing until monday or tuesday. i’m visiting a friend (scroll down to see mara bucko) of mine in austria . i hope to rent one or two good skis, and maybe return with a new snow-weapon .

yesterday evening i went to see tim burtons latest movie: big fish . if you haven’t seen it, go and see it instantly, it’s such a heartwarming and poetic movie. i hardly couldn’t help crying out loud in the cinema, because the end is so sad and so happy in the same time.

one of the best movies i’ve seen in a long time!

my preferred way of looking up a translation of an english word was to use the excellent dict.leo.org . ages ago i fired up my browser, typed the address in, waited, put the word to be translated in the box, clicked enter and then got the translation. soon i made myself a little bookmarklet in safari (adapted from a hint on osxhints.com ) and didn’t need to put in the address myself:

as diggory says, the photo diary of a motorcycle tour is one of the most frightening and depressing things i’ve seen in a long while!

update: boingboing notes that this story probably is some kind of hoax. nonetheless the whole story behind the story is unbelievably sad and should never ever happen again. nowhere!

did you ever play too much video games, so that you had nightmares? i remember once trying to finish tetris on the hardest possible setting on the gameboy and managing to finish it (so that the space-shuttle bonus screen came up) and having the most terrible night-mares afterwards. i had to dodge out those falling blocks in my dreams, and every-time i couldn’t manage it getting squished to death…

i bet KeiicHi must have had nightmares, too (3.7 mb .wmv movie). he manages to play the soundtrack of super mario land on his guitar, complete with the power-up and coin-grab sound effects! marvelous!

nick luthi (one of the bloggers over at the berner gazette ) wrote a nice article about weblogs in (one of) the local newspaper s. he nicely explains terms like blogosphere and points out some hints on how to start your own weblog. give it a read!

ps: if you don’t have a hard-copy of todays bund, go and read the article now, i don’t know how long it will be freely available in the eBund , i suspect that in a week you’ve got to pay for the access. oh, and by the way, the article is in german.

thanks to the fabulous button maker my blog now features two new buttons in the lower sidebar. (besides the other ones, which were also made with the button maker, ages ago).

once a button which links to my amazon wishlist , just in case you want to send me a gift and the other is a button which links to my orkut-profile (which is something like FOAF for dummies :-). you’re free to join there and help build my network of friends.
