tandem movie is up

Wednesday, Oct 29, 2003

well, if you’re interested, one of the tandem movies can be downloaded here . i have to issue a warning, the file is about 9mb in size and if you got a weak stomach, then you might get ill :-) further infos: the timeline of the movie is absolutely unedited, we drove down the frickweg with the speed you see on the movie (btw. B. and Hermann , i could not show your house, because i had to concentrate on the sharp turn at the end of the badgasse , sorry) and had exactly those two and something minutes to drive down. the annoying noise is the wind blowing in the microphone of my cam . remember it’s supposed to take pictures, the movie-ability is just a nifty feature… and yeah, gimme a break, i know the sound is not edited very thorough, but as i said before , it’s my first try with imovie.

keep it simple

Tuesday, Oct 28, 2003

do you remember the movies i made last friday ? i’ve been fooling around with ’em in imovie and must say that this app is quite straight-forward (as soon as you figure out how to import the sound from non-standard-mpegs which my camera produces). i know there are much fancier products which are also free , but with imovie i was able to make a nice little movie with soundtrack, a little transition and stuff like that in a matter of some dozen minutes without even thinking about reading the manual.

Hebeisen erklärt die Welt

Tuesday, Oct 28, 2003

für einmal auf Deutsch :-) Wer genauso wie ich Abe Hebeisens wochentliche Kolummne im Bund liebt, wird sich freuen, dass es auf Bernerkultur.ch ein Archiv aller bisher erschienenen Kolummnen gibt. und dort gibts auch gute Kulturtips, das werde ich heute machen.

and here in english . i just love the translation of Hebeisen into elevation iron :-)

nokia n-gage (todays fun link)

Monday, Oct 27, 2003

this is why the new nokia n-gage gameconsolemobilephonetacoshell is never gonna be a hit!

update: it might not be obvious, but nokias designers do not read books on industrial design . this means, that the user has to hold the n-gage sideways to make a phone-call with it. how daft is that?

update: see what gizmodo has to say to bad industrial design :-) (actually not really about the n-gage, but about the new nokia 7700 which is sidetalking-enabled, too…)

ego-googling

Sunday, Oct 26, 2003

taking a look at the referers to habi.gna.ch i found that when you search for habi on google , then you get quite relevant hits:

ps: and if you take a close look on the referers, then you see some interesting keywords that list my page really high: “fleisch werbekampagne ”, “streetparade 03 ”, “Grosstierklinik+Bern+Tierspital

ps: and searching for siegfried and roy on search.ch ranks me quite high. b. (CTO @ search.ch), i think you have to tweak your algorithm a bit :-)

todays fun link

Thursday, Oct 23, 2003

well, if you google this , then you get this :-) i guess, expansys should have a better quality-control… and yes, i’m an avid fan of ricardo.ch . i guess i bought about half of my digital equipment there. including my ibook, my ipod, my palm (old, but works like a charm), my web-cam (which arrived today, but i wasn’t home, so i can go and pick it up tomorrow), my telly, my telephone(s) and numerous other stuff…
