None

these are two panoramas (both qtvr )i made last week, both of ’em just little dirty hacks, because i did not use a tripod, just free-hand photography:

on top of the longer of the two ski-lift, an amazing view over the whole obergoms (916kb .mov). the whole group at the start of the race we made on the last day(sibe on the far left and bjorn on the far right) (308kb .mov)

a whole week on the hungerberg with the class i mentioned below. it was absolutely amazing, on wednesday we had fresh snowfall and we were able to ski in knee-deep powder (some pics might come soon) a exhausting day with sigi in nendaz/verbier which was amazing and fulfilled with lots of off-pist skiing in an amazingly big ski-resort. and another day on the bettmeralp with my parents, which was really nice, in total a week and a half with the most beautiful weather one can imagine (yes, a day with heavy snowfall is beautiful weather if you’re skiing!) now i come home and the weather is blah like in deep november. i think i’ll go skiing soon :-)

i’m gonna be in oberwald for the whole next week, a teacher-friend of my sister is in charge of a skiweek with her pupils. she an her boyfriend, my sister, her boyfriend, sigi and me are gonna try to tame 21 14-year-old pupils. so expect no update here (maybe a small one here or here ), because i’ll be offline (although i take my ibook with me for some funny project).

have a nice week and behave!

if i ever got kids, they are getting the green machine from huffy bikes to rule their neighbourhood. you have to check out the flash-tour of the green machine, it makes me want to be smaller than i am, so i would be able to ride that beast :-)

[via max ] the paper-version

a really annoying and pointless ad-campaign, which is plastered all over here in bern.

does anyone know what “gerebelt” means? (cooking at work today…)

does anyone know other good moblogging sites besides bild.li (where my moblog is now), phlog or moblg ? i’m looking for one where you can upload cheap (e.g email) and style your page as you want. phlog is my main candidate right now. leave a comment if you know a better one!

well, after arni posted some code 1 i tried to implement the comment-hitparade i mentioned earlier: i works nearly like a charm, the only problem is, that my top commenter never left an email-address, so he appears as “empty"2 i really start to get the hang of all these movabletype plugins , a nearly endless resources of things you can do with your blog (i just want to start to use that blogtimes-thing . (b. , this is a hint!)

boingboing points out a really weird fact: at itunes’ music-store (how do you write that frigging thing? i’ll just stick to ITMS!) you can get songs which consist of nothing than silence. how funny is that: buy silence for 99 cents a pop and buy it with some proper DRM -scheme!

so, if you live in the us of a, you can get 6 minutes and 45 seconds (the full playlist at appleturns) of silence for just $8.91. this is really cheap, go and get it, while it’s fresh!

if you look in the sidebar then you see a new feature: “last comments”. i borrowed a code-snippet from stuart mutie , adapted it a tiny bit and now you can see the last comments that were posted here on the site.

this is my snippet of code, use it and abuse it!

<$MTComments lastn="5"$ sort_order="descend">  
[<$MTCommentAuthorLink spam_protect="1"$>:  
<MTCommentBody trim_to="45" remove_html="1" convert_breaks="0">  
<a href="<$MTBlogArchiveURL$>  
<$MTCommentEntryID pad="1"$>.html" title="read the whole buzz">>>
</a>]<br /> 
</MTComments>

and i got another one in the working, a hit-parade of most active commenters, coming soon….

if you want to be truly impressed by the power of OS X’ graphic capabilities, then you should try out that hint on osxhints , it’s well funny!
