regine und irma am rikscha-fahren

mit nicht so lustigem grosi im hintergrund :-)

during the contemporary dance festival here in bern the spectators have the possibility to ride a ricksha from the center of the town down to the festival center , sponsored by a swiss insurance and driven by people from the velokurier bern .

so, if you want to ride a ricksha in bern, you can do that in the next 10 days, until the 17th of june. if you do it on the 10th or on the 17th, you have the possibility to ride with me. come and do it!

we ’ve been diving in elba for the past few days.

as always, it was really impressive under water and the days with all the people were a blast.

the image below shows a small plane-wreck we’ve seen under water. it’s a panorama stitched from 6 pictures. all the other pictures i shot will be online soon, i’ll tell you when they are.

it would be cool to have a recent mac. it would be even cooler with that little program you can see in the video below. the geekiest way of managing desktops ever…

as mentioned before , i also shot two panoramas from the watch-tower yesterday. because i’m on holiday preparation, i found some time to stitch them with the excellent hugin [1].

both panoramas below were shot hand-held, without a tripod and without aperture-control (i need that with my next camera…). the original images were resized to 1024*768 pixels to prevent harddisk-bloat, and then stitched.

with the free program make cubic they were assembled into a QTVR. click on the thumbnails below, wait until the movies are loaded (beware: they’re both quite big!) and then click/drag around with your mouse.

‘cause ninas knee is still hurting like a bitch , we didn’t go to the seilpark today, instead watched the latest episode of lost and went to have a coffe on the gurten .

i shot the image below between some shots for a panorama from the look-out tower. nina looks a bit held tight, but nonetheless i like the picture. as soon as i finish the panoramas i’ll post them too.

if you want to see a rather well done piece of machinima (made using the CounterStrike game-engine and selected for the Tribeca Film Festival ) then point your browser to Deviation . Deviation is a short movie about a pensive game character which takes a turn to a strong statement about choice and questioning authorities.

watch it yourself!

Dropped into the middle of a mission and faced with the prospect of climbing into an ambush at the end of a manhole tunnel, Macintyre strives to convince the other squad members that there is another way…
