picture of the week 36
this afternoon we [1] had a security training organized by the slrg. since i needed to see if the underwater housing of my camera is still alright [2], i took my camera with me to shoot some pictures. the picture below shows our head coach doing a fine start. the full set of all the pictures is online on flickr. [1] most of the coaches of the swim team [2] more on that later on.
official hummer salute
official hummer salute oh my god, my finger looks really crooked! i was not fast enough to get a decent picture, but in the true spirit of fuh2.com i thought it’s worth it.
the us of a is in deep trouble.
as other people, i really suffer with all the persons that are hit by the hurricane in the states. but if you watch those two videos below, you really get a sense on how deep the trouble is gonna be once all the news get trough. the first video shows two reporters of fox news really freaking out while giving their impression of the crisis. you should watch both videos to the end to see the important part!

this saturday i once again went to the ropetech-seilpark here in bern. this time with the kids from the swim-team (i coach them twice a week). the full set of pictures can be seen here, but i thought the one below stands out of the crop. it shows seraina having loads of fun: technorati tags: climbing, ropes, ropetech
ars electronica 2005: Blogger List
Jan set up a wiki-list for web-people attending/covering the ars electronica this year. i won’t be there, but surely will watch that list for coverage and images… web-laun.ch/ars2005/index.php/Bloggers_Mobloggers_Wikis_Socialbookmarks [via piecoplastic] technorati tags: [ars electronica](http://www.technorati.com/tag/ars electronica), wiki
picture of the week 33 [1]
this weekend i found some time to panoramify all my shots from european masters championships in stockholm (you might have seen it on flickr). through the help of the excellent ptx-mailing-list i found a tool called make cubic (direct download of the 259kb .sit-file here) which is just a wee bit more than a terminal app to convert your equirectangular .jpgs into cubic QTVR-movies, so you can download the image of fatbursparken (that weird semi-round house) as a 2mb .mov-panorama if you click on the thumbnail below (be patient, it takes some time to load).
high speed flash photography
chris dibona shot some really impressive high-speed-snapshots (literally!) of people popping a ballon. you can see the whole set of images on chris’ flickr-page. most of images are just really brilliant. a really nice project, i wonder if my dsc-t3 can be triggered externally… [via makezine] technorati tags: balloon, make
new pictures are online
i finally found a free minute to sift through my pile of images, and was able to upload a first batch of images from the ecmc in basel. you can see them here. if you’d like to see more messengers messing around, then you can see mathieus images (from lausanne) or some more in the images-section of fahrradkurier.ch. i’m still struggling with a panorama around the sharp turn of the uphill-sprint (the one here). maybe my g4 has not enough ram to handle a panorama consisting of 15 5 mpixel images. i’m trying it soon with resized images and keep you updated.
funky flash game
since jan seems to like silly games, i got one for him here: tontie, some kind of whack-a-mole, but with a twist, which you’ll find out while playing [via iforgotitdontblameme]
how not to win a race
raph[1] posted a funny movie over at velocites blog: how not to win a race (.wmv-plugin necessary). rather bad luck. [1] he returned from basel as the fastest european messenger. and rachel and nicola from bern also are european champions, rachel was the fastest woman on track and nicola is the best bunny-hopper. congratulations from me!
