panorama gurnigel
this is a panorama i quickly stitched from 4 images shot in the restaurant on the gurnigel this afternoon
new feature (in test mode)
the image on the left shows the total accesses of habi.gna.ch since the start in july last year (reminds me, i missed the anniversary :-). it impressed me that the total accesses to this little site are around 20000 a day which seems huge. but be reminded that every access to every file counts, so if you watch an index-page on the pics-section this counts as more than20 accesses (9 thumbnails, 2 navigation-buttons and 8 image files for the thumbnail frames plus the html-file itself plus the css-file).
dubyas bulge
this is joi itos view of the debate if or if not dubya bush was wired when he debated with kerry.. (with a really interesting flood of comments concerning creative commons, you must read them!) [via joi.ito]
parsenn-tunnel
i really like this picture. it’s absolutely un-edited, but sports a fancy motion blur. well done little cam!
new pictures are online
the christening of anna-lena - ninas godchild - which took place last sunday was the reason i returned a day earlier from the weissfluhjoch. if you want to take a look at the pictures from the nice afternoon a wonderful house with an amazing view you can take a look in the pictures section.
barney shakur
since i’m in a hip hoppy mood today, here’s a movie of a barney-shakur mashup (2.8mb .wmv) i found floating around on the net. [via memepool] and some l33t haxoring to get to the real url…
the kleptones
piece lately mentioned a night at the hip-hopera from the kleptones. according to me this is THE mashup album of the year. although the album as a whole is illegal it is quite brilliant, mixing the best songs from the hiphop-spere into an album with great flow. boingboing posted a link to waxy’s blog where he collaboratively tries to identify all samples used in the 23 great songs! i’ve been listening to those songs all morning long, they’re great, go and grab them while they’re hot! on waxy’s page you can also download the files, he’s generously hosting them. or else you go to the kleptones’ page, they point you to some mirrors to download all the songs (either as one big file (109mb .zip), as 23 individual files or - if you like that - as a bittorent file).
picture of the week 43
this is sigi on the ridge leading from the weissfluhjoch to nowhere. i had a very good time in davos (funny that urs was in davos, too), spent big time with reading, watching silly movies on the telly and talking to sigi. thanks you sigi, that was very relaxing!
far far away
i’m on the weissfluhjoch to visit sigi until sunday, so you might not want to expect any updates here. i just came back from the vernissage of urs’ new book where he read some parts from his first novel: luchs (the german word for lynx). since it’s gonna be a long train-ride to davos i’m gonna take the plunge into his work and know a lot more about the current lynx-debate in the upper simmental.
funny typo
i think dell has a really bad lectorer. or they want to scam me, because they sell a laptop with a 1gb hard disk for 2099 swiss franks. or maybe it’s only a funny typo. whatever: i thought it’s fun, in a nerdy way. excuse me if you don’t get a wee laugh out of this.
