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]
pictures from brazil
in case you think my pictures don’t deserve your time, then point you browser to casey kelbaughs slideshow (7.7mb .mov-file) of the pictures he took on a trip to brazil. those are really nice! [via the velocite-blog]
pictures of the week
the pictures from my vacation on sharm el sheik last week are now online in the pictures-section. those available are the ones i shot above sealevel, the ones below are old-fashioned analog ones, so they will take some time go come. (i cannot wait to see the ones i shot on the thistlegorm, this was the most amazing dive in my short diving career!)

filewile (dustbowl/777 and deejot) have released a new track called “camping_helsinki”. go and grab it via their site.

album art in the sidebar [update]
since the upgrade of my MT-installation the integration of kungtunes an my blog was a bit flaky, i got an email whenever my itunes changed a song. this was just too much. i’ve been looking for another solution to post my playlist on the web, but couldn’t find a good one, until i stumbled over this picture on the (excellent) command-shift-3-group on flickr. in the extensive list of programs mentioned was the itunes watcher. after a bit of googling i found the site and installed it (it’ s bit quirky, since it’s a script which needs to be configured and compiled).
polyball
if you’d like to see me in a suit, then you might want to check out my polyball foto set on flickr. but be warned, there are some really cheesy pictures in that set…
