None

hmm, i think if i participated in that picture-contest , i would have been the designated winner. compare the winner with the original :-)

oh, and btw: a huge amount of people might wonder how i always find obscure links like these.

this time it’s a simple chain reaction. we from bern won the right to host the suicmc04 . while looking for sponsors i talked with lüsche from klink (webpartner of the velokurier ), he’s got a contact with bluewin for potential sponsoring. to be able to talk with him i needed to get his phonenumber , so i surfed to klink.ch and saw that they programmed a image-database for swiss meat . not too hard, ‘aight?

you got an mms-enables mobile phone ? want to send a real postcard to someone who doesn’t have one of these gizmos? then click here and follow the instructions :-)

this is a new service from the swiss post (press release ). they will print a postcard for you and send it. the funny thing is, that the first one is free, so give it a go, you only have to pay one mms and a marginal data-amount… really retro. send a truly digital message and someone gets a truly offline postcard. silly it costs 3 bucks when you use it more than once…

if you own a mac , then go and download these two:

• sidetrack

• collage

sidetrack is definitely a must! i never thought i’d miss these features until i installed this nifty piece of software. sidetrack is a replacement driver for your trackpad on the mac. it enables scrolling features i now heavily rely on (it almost makes my mouse obsolete…). you now get a defined zone on your trackpad in which you can scroll the screen (preferably the left part for vertical and the top part for horizontal scrolling…)

if these guys are not amazing , then you have an extremely high level of unimpressiveability !

tomazobi will be the hit soon :-) one of these guys went to school with my sister and all three of ’em have the potential to be the new troubadours of bern (like mani matter and others) especially their song lulu is just about the best song i ever heard (at least in swiss-german :-) you need to check out their website, it’s a marvelous example of funny webdesign and crude little ideas (how about their stage-plan for small and big stages?)

well, i have to say the demo-version of realviz’ stitcher is quite capable. here are some really quick and dirty hacks making a panorama of four images i made in kos. it’s the castle in kos-city. here is a 800kb QTVR . and this here is a 400kb jpeg:

it’s a real pity that even the student version still costs 100€…

today i finally got the time to grab renzos pictures and movies from last friday. and since sigi liked the first tandem movie so much, i thought i’d give it a go and made a second one . this one here is a 5.7 mb movie, renzo and me driving from the main station in bern to the university hospital of bern (actually with some blood in my backpack).

ps: the movie has no sound from driving because it was just too muffled, absolutely no chance to understand a single word. ps2: watch out for the upcoming tandem feature movie “dru poschis i dru minute” (three post-coaches in three minutes) with an almost crash…

today i thought i needed to go for a little walk. as i live really near the allmend here in bern i thought, thats a good idea to go there. but then i discovered that it’s not your typical sunday walk today, instead there was some motorbike exhibition . although i am no fan of motorized stuff, i couldn’t help watching those guys doing some truly impressing FMX stunts. now i go and read my newspapers.

yesterday i helped a friend of mine to move. she owns an original ball chair by aarnio eero which is quite a pain in the ass to move. the picture below is the effort of five people to get that beast into the first floor (it’s too wide to carry up stairs and too wide to get through doors. i have to say that for me it looks like a scene from Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! .

through some circumstances i could not go and see les triplettes de belleville last tuesday , but managed to go and see it today with sigi & baba (i simply forgot something and could not go to the movies, no big deal). it’s a really magnificent movie, go and see it! even if you don’t really like animated movies, it’s got so much charm and a huge amount of far out ideas and little heart-warming details. if you do not know what i’m talking about, go and see the website (which is a really nice flash-site) or download the trailer here .
