yesterday evening there was the 6th antifa walk here in bern. despite all the babble and heated discussion going on in the apron the demonstration went really well. good for the cause, and also good for the plausibility of the demonstrators. if you’d like to take part a bit, then you can take a look at my antifa 05-photoset over at flickr, or read more on indymedia.ch.
picture of the week 10
the past friday was absolutely amazing at work. as you might know (or not…) the swiss messengers have a collective product: swissconnect. hence, if a customer wants to send a parcel to any other town in switzerland, he just gives us a call, and we do the rest. pick it up at his door, drive to the train station, put it on a train, and another partner grabs it from that train and delivers the parcel. anything goes. passports from lausanne, movie rolls from ostermundigen to zurich.
new filewile track on the web

i want one of those new powerbooks [update]
the newest revision of apples powerbooks features an accelerometer, that detects if you drop the powerbook and parks the hard disc heads (a thing already found on older ibm-machines). now a guy figured out how to tap into the accelerometer and use it to display all kind of funky stuff (e.g. a window is fixed in space, while the powerbook rotates). this led another guy to program a python script whith which you can control itunes. just give your powerbook a mild slap on the head and it switches to the next song. i see some really funky stuff coming up for those powerbooks….
stöckchenwerfen
folgendes stöckchen wurde mir von rage zugeworfen: 1. wieviel gigantische bytes an musik sind auf meinem computer? 10.06 gb verteilt auf 2387 songs. knapp die hälfte davon findet auf meinem ipod platz. viel elektronik, viel handgemachtes, altes und neues und dazu noch ein grosser schuss schweizer musik.
skype me [update 2]
since nina also started to use skype i thought i’d might give it another go. so if you feel the desperate urge to call me, you can do it and call me via this button [1]: (but be aware: since i bought a powerpc i don’t have a built in microphone, i need to go and buy one, so you might want to wait a day or two…) [1]: button via the excellent button maker.
new pictures are online
since i just cannot stop skiing i went to grindelwald on saturday with pesche and sabine. no single picture stands out, so i just uploaded all of ’em to a new set over at flicker. if you’d like to see them, go there.
shake your booty
i desperately need to loosen my cheeks! because when i tried, my image did turn out far less funny than christians. but nonetheless i uploaded it to that site, so others can have a laugh just like i did… send in your pictures, so others can have a laugh, too! [via gorillamask]
picture of the week 07
i just can’t stop skiing…. my parents spend a week on the bettmeralp and i’ve been visiting them for three days. the weather was quite bad, but the snow was perfect, and i really start to like my new skis. the pic below shows me having some fun in a locker at the cable car station (yes i’d have fit in, but then the picture would be only half as funny…)
smarterchild
today i had a funny conversation with my own personal smarter child. i read about it in the latest wired and must say it’s really fun. just add Smarterchild to your AIM-buddylist (or ichat) or add 35000 on your ICQ (doesn’t matter for me, because i use fire). at the moment the information for international users is a bit sparse, ‘cause in the US you can get movie listings and stuff like that. nonetheless i was able to get a review of the movie i’m going to see tonight (“can you get me a review of ray?”). the smartypant also reminds you of different stuff (“remind me to go offline” “when?” “in 30 minutes”).
