i use spamcop daily to report my spam to the relevant people, it’s an excellent free service (although sometimes a bit clumsy in accepting spam…), but this doesn’t really look good… i wonder how long it’s gonna take until they take down the free service.

following up my entry of yesterday evening here’s a link for all of you to enjoy: a website that takes the words you want as an input, converts them to a song. that song consisting of sampled words of some other songs. i at have at least three of the words from my example in my own library.

rhytm - rhythm of the dancer from snap! true - digital love from daft punk fun - perfect day from lou reed (the other ones cannot be found on ITMS…)

now the whole usb-powered stuff gets a bit far off the track :-)

i was reading some more about trackback some days ago (which still is a bit too much for my puny little head to fully get the point).

well, the thing is that some guys proposed to the trackback abilty of movable type to post songs from winamp , then another guy followed up with pretty much exactly the same for itunes (btw, also quite good for window…).

the approaches used a special applescript which i could not get to work (even with the help of l33t b. :-)

the three dead trolls have a (not so) little video with an in-deep sight on the pros and cons of every major os (windows , os x and linux ). if you’re still deciding what to install on the mighty little box under your desk, then you should watch that video :-)

we three in our flat have a so-called darling of the week - some piece of bizarre news , some really far out whackos or just something funny out of the newspaper. if you’ve been in my kitchen, you know what i talk about. this weeks darling even has a homepage and a really cool photo :-) say hello to music man otto :

since quite a long time i get some daily comics via mail: calvin and hobbes and the daily perscheid . i always think that nearly all perscheids are hilariously funny, but this one today just blew the top off everything. not actually the joke itself but the tiny little twist (pun intended) in the preserving jar in the bottom left of the rack. (it says “hitlers pen…” which undoubtedly stands for the little mans dong ….) this made my day! i have no idea if this is a copyright-issue if i post that picture here on my blog, but i think this goes under “fair use”, just to say that perscheid is really great!

yesterday evening i was surfing around some messenger-sites and found that site here: ostro , some shop in poland which sells nice steel track frames for an unbelievably low price. i mailed those guys and they said that it costs only 20€ to send those frames via ground mail. how cool is that?

they even send you the color you want. decisions, decisions :-)

ps: even if bikes are not your thing, go check out the other parts they have on sale , there are some really beautiful pieces of craftmanship …

i just returned from seeing bauchklang live at the bierhubeli . if you’ve never heard of them, then you should go and check out their website. bauchklang is the so called vocal groove project. they make dubby drum n bass acapella . it is really amazing, what those five guys achieve with only their voice and microphones. go hear some samples (in the goodies section), it’s really not that kind of acapella-music you think! if you got a fast connection, then click here for a direct link to a 11mb-quicktime-movie from their site to see how they perform on stage.

why haven’t i seen software like this really, really nice screensaver before my switcher days?

i think from now on i switch my screensaver from a blank screen to this:
