in the paper today: a picture of what would happen if you put all the water on the earth and air in the atmosphere in one sphere above the earth (pdf of the original page ). almost unbelievably small!!
update: the pdf is only availiable if you are a subscriber to the archive, which puts you back 60 bucks a year. nonetheless i leave the link, maybe you are a subscriber….
update 2: the linked page has some quite interesting pictures!

it
was lovely, thanks for asking.
the second picture has quite funky colors, which were achieved through a long exposure time and without a flash.

i went to interdiscount because i needed some jewel cases for a gift project. i thought the cheapest way was to buy some empty ones, because i still have a spindle full of cd-roms back at home. to my amazement, it’s 30% cheaper to buy 10 cd’s in the case than to buy 10 empty jewel cases. how silly (but good for me…)
ten empty cases for 15 bucks (left image) opposed to 10 cases with cd’s for 10 bucks (on the right):

yesterday i read a review of “the art of rebellion”, today i surfed on their page and instantly bought that book . looks like a really good book to read (1.5mb pdf-preview ) or just simply to look at. i can hardly wait until the postman rings twice…
btw: go to page 7 in the pdf, there you can see invader from france. can you remember where in bern that he put up his invaders? (in the munstergasse and at least two in the matte …)

next weekend nina and i go to the polyball
which is the biggest decorated and themed ball in europe, there are supposed to be around 10k people.
the theme is “kitsch as kitsch can” so i thought i buy these trashy funky dancing shoes which should go really well with a classic suit.
yes, they’re golden and i’m probably gonna wear them only once, but hey, they did only cost 19 swiss francs
:-)

now you can also see the last five
or the last 30 songs
i listened.
through some code from b.
(he said: “es ist etwas hackisch geschrieben, aber dafür sagt es auch “1 day and 1 hour and 1 minute ago” und nicht “1 days ago”” after fiddling for 3 minutes…) it displays the date/time in a nice format.
now you can spy on me my musical taste even better :-)
have fun:
