as in the last two years nina and me went to the polyball in zurich. it was a blast, although we couldn’t dance that much this year ‘cause ninas back ached a bit after an hour of salsa :-) the image below is one of my polyball-set on flickr. if you’d like to see some more images of us, then you should proceed over to the site of the fotostudio unartig. they made professional shots of all the attendants of the ball and supplied a photo-studio where you could make some selfportraits. the set of our self-portraits starts here and the professional shots start here.
american edit
a so-called dean gray mashed up green days american idiot into american edit. you can download all the eleven tracks for free on americanedit.com, go and grab them while it lasts, they’re all really good! he even made a rather brilliant mashup of the cover as you can see on the left.

critical mass in bern
someone [1] is organizing a critical mass in bern at the 6th of december. if you’d like to take part, come and show up on the bundesplatz at 18:00. i’ll be there, and hopefully a lot of others too (do you remember the critical mass after the suicmc04? it was so great!) We aren’t blocking traffic; we are traffic. [1] that’s the thing: no one really knows who did it, so no one can be blamed for it.
keeping a promise
matthias posted “I’ll Ask You Something I’ve Always Wondered About You?” quite some time ago on his personal blog. i just loved the thought of him saying things about me and now he finally did, read the - funny - “answers” in this post. rule #8 of the little game says, that i must post it here, which is what i do here. the rules are as follows: leave your name (and web-address) in a comment below and…
qr coded gloves
this afternoon i went to buy some gloves (it’s getting cold at work you know :-). coming home i noticed that they have a normal label and a supplementary qr code (german) sewn into them. since i couldn’t find a decoder for os x (the java-version of the one urs [1] found doesn’t work for me), i kindly ask the blogosphere if they can decode it for me. i’m just wondering what adidas is writing in my gloves.

this weekend we had the berner schwimmtage, a two-day swimming event, including the sprintnight, which was absolutely fabulous (see some more pictures here or here). chantal cavin [1] swam a new world record for disabled swimmers, a lot of swimmers swam new meeting records and even more swam new personal records [2]. besides coaching my team i also found time to shoot a quick and dirty panorama of the indoor pool hirschengraben. it’s a shot i stitched from 12 images i took freehand on the gallery of the pool, stitched with hugin and converted to a qtvr using makecubic. so, if you click on the thumbnail below you should get a 1.8mb big .mov-file in which you can zoom and pan around [3]. if you prefer a flat image, then you should step over to flickr and look at the panorama as a .jpg.
