hilarious flash
i remember that i saw this flash linked somewhere, but i cannot remember where. yesterday evening i played it so many times that the boyfriend of my flatmate asked me if i’m insane. but only until i showed him what i watched, then he nearly spurted his glass of milk through his nose. if you want to see a poor hilarious guy performing in front of his webcam then you must watch this flash movie: numanuma.swf (4.5mb .swf-file). but beware, it’s mean, loud and addictive!
a little challenge for you [2nd update]
today was a reeeealy slow day at work, so i was catching up with the posts on boingboing.net. while checking out the entries on the latest web-zen post i found this marvelous penguin game, a holiday greeting from macromedia.com. it seams that i’ve been really lucky, because managed to impress the “judges”, i made 29.4 points. can you beat me? leave a comment! [via boingboing] **update: **i should have practiced more! all those beat me!
picture of the week 53
this week the pictures i took underwater in sharm el sheik arrived. i will update the sharm-gallery with them soon. the picture below is the best of the bunch and shows steffen, our guide during the early morning dive pointing out a huge anemone with a big bunch of clown-fishes on it.
christmas music
in case you need some nice music to get into the x-mas mood you must listen to the border brass - tijuana christmas! just perfect to light some candles and sing along (the .mp3’s are tagged very bad, but if you burn them on a disc no-one will notice :-) [via boingboing]
playstation portable [update]
it’s good that i’ve never been much of a gamer, or else i couldn’t resist in going and buying the psp after reading this review on engadget… [via engadget] update: whoa! the psp works very nice with the mac and wifi. must. resist. must. resist. [via fscklog]

recommended listening
want to listen to some cool tunes, including funk, cool hip-hop and other more than delicious tunes? then wefunkradio.com is perfect for you. like xeni noted, it’s a brillinat mixture of tunes and very hard to turn off, once you tuned in into it’s live-stream. [via boingboing]
recommended reading
my mother recently gave me schotts sammelsurium, a very funny book. in case you want to be a brilliant conversation-partner at your next diner party i recommend that you get that book. it’s a overly extensive list of things one should know. things to know like: the thickness of ice needed to carry you, a car or a lorry, how to tie a sari, a list of european cities with metro, some shakespearean curses, the longest word in english and other stuff to know. it’s a fabulous reading and you should get is asap :-)
google address book plugin
if you liked “my” address book plugin, then you might dig this script posted on osxhints.com. it enables you do do a quick google-lookup of any person in your address book, with a single click on the phonenumber of the desired person. (and can easily be adapted for other search engines, which might in the end enable me to throw together a “look-up-person-on-tel.search.ch-and-merge-info-with-already-in-addressbook”-script. but that’s another story for another day. good night.
creative piercing
shannon has posted a small article on a very creative use of a bridge piercing. if you’re mildly interested in piercings and also like a wee bit of “industrial design” then you should give it a go and read it here. [via shannon’s blog]
