panoramas from the gurten
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.
picture of the week 20
‘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. technorati tags: nina, potw

"funny" machiminia
do you like video-games? or don’t you? whatever! 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…
a little story from work
as you might know, most of the swiss messenger companies work together when there is stuff to send around switzerland. so if any of our customers wants to send something into another part of switzerland, he calls us, we pick up the parcel at his place, lock it in a special compartment in the train and the partner-company grabs it at the destination train-station and delivers the parcel. the whole product is called swissconnect and is an unbeatable product in terms of speed and reliability.

the revolution will not be blogged
i might be possible that the revolution will happen and that you won’t notice it, ‘cause according to this brilliant rant, the revolution will not be blogged! (what a pity) Or those irritating graphics that take over your whole screen. You will not have to worry about having the latest Macromedia Flash, Macromedia Shockwave or Macromedia Goddamn plugin. The revolution will not work at all in Opera.

they're made out of meat! [update]
they’re made out of meat is a short-film adaptation of nebula award winner terry bissons story about two extraterrestrials having a funny and also a bit gross talk in restaurant at the end of the universe (or was that another story). the dialogue is quite funny: “Meat?” “There’s no doubt about it. We picked up several from different parts of the planet, took them aboard our recon vessels, and probed them all the way through. They’re completely meat.”
