105589 gmail invites left
i’ve got 50 gmail invites left to spare. this makes me think that gmail is going to be open for everyone soon, since people around me are getting a truckload of invites. you won’t get an invite if you leave a comment here (they’re closed on this post), instead just head over to isnoops gmail invite spooler. over there you might be able to score one of the 105589 invites left at the moment. i just submitted all my invites there…
i wish i'd be in france
i wish i’d live in paris, because then i’d play tetris or pong or breakout or pacman on the national library all night long… [via we make money not art]
creepy kids book mod
this person took My Little Book About God and remixed the images with his own creepy captions to make some kind of creepy howto for alien world invasion. the picture on the left is one of the 20 pages of the remixed book and it sent shivers down my spine. take a look at all the pages, it’s well worth it! [via boingboing] ps: i really love the amazon-lookup feature built into ecto, makes linking to books amazingly easy…
more good music
this day seems to be musical: the kleptones have released another mashup album: From Detroit To J.A. i haven’t had time to listen to all the tracks up to now, but if it’s only half as brilliant as A Night At The Hip-Hopera, then it’s mighty good. the mixalbum is only available as torrent. either as one big mp3 with cue file or as individual mp3s (83.3mb).

new filewile track on the net
dustbowl and deejot have released another track in the wild. go and grab the dubby trolley from their website or fire up your podcasting app and get it through their podcast feed.
don't!
i wish i had thought of that! la fille de zurich posted a list of all the songs that forbid you to do stuff. in the image on the left you can see a list of my don’ts. (it’s a screenshot from itunes, because i can’t fit all songs on my ipod). what are the don’ts in your playlist? [via une fille du limmatquai]
panorama shot
finally i’ve been able to hack together a panorama of the pool we’ve been swimming in in gensingen. if you click on the image on the left you should be able to open the 432kb-file and see how the pool looked from left to right. mind the bad quality of the panorama, but it was shot without tripod and a whimsy camera.
whoah!
i just bought a power mac :-) i’ve been bidding on it, because i thought, that’s such a cheap prize that i’m never gonna win and was not really inclined to buy it. ah, well then, so i’ll replace my ibook with something more suited to my needs… and because i’m gonna get more money than i thought from teaching last week (the school didn’t know about my master degree) i can afford it.
picture of the week 04
this week was really busy, i was giving computer science lessons in kirchberg while still working nearly normally. luckily i was rewarded with the nicest afternoon at work during this week full of snow, so i only biked privately in the snow. the picture below is from one evening, coming home. riding fast even with a lot of snow on the street.
mercedes mixtape 05
mercedes released the new mixtape (version 05). the opener track is a really great jazzy electro-tune. go grab all the songs at mixed-tape.com, they will be gone after march, 22. (not really gone, but substituted by new songs). i couldn’t find the direct download link, you’ll have to click through the flash-interface and make your selection for the download (all songs together in a .zip-file are 89mb). and because i missed to download mixed-tape 03 i was googling for it, and found an archive of all mixed-tapes behind this raunchy address (which is completely SFW). so if you want to start a download frenzy, you can…
