motorola razr v3
gadget envy. at miklos’ and cecilia’s wedding b. and me talked about the upcoming motorola razr, the phone that looks like THE gadget-ency-inducing phone of the year. up to now i’ve only seen one or to pics of it floating around on the net. but today i stumbled over this thread at howard forums1 which induced a cringe in my bowels, (a soft wispering voice: buybuybuybuy). under one of a gazillion pictures of the razr was the one in the post below, the guy holding the phone in his hands. can you believe motorola crammed:

picture of the week 40 [update]
my plan for yesterday was to go and see freestyle.ch with sigi, but since the snowramp collapsed, the whole event was blown off (see a tiny pic here). bugger! mostly also because i hope to get a good picture of the week :-) so sigi and me went to the museum to see der gespiegelte mensch (the mirrored human) which was mildly said, a disappointment (beside the microscopes with the drosophila and their mutations…).. so we just went to the so-called niederdorfli and drank some tea and coffee and had a good talk, which was probably ways better than watching reckless guys and gals on their boards and skies.
ae fond kiss
i went to see the last kiss, the new film by the scottish filmmaker ken loach. besides that i was blown away from the language everyone in that movie speaks1 i just loved it. as always ken loach is able to draw a very intense portrait of simple people (simple in a good way). his way of directing a movie is so far away from the way movies are don in hollywood. the people are real, so real that you start to sniff if they cry or laugh with them when they tell jokes. although the movie is quite bitter - it’s about the romance between a wee irish gal and a tall pakistani bloke, which seem not to be able to flee from the constraints they get put on by their environment - it’s one of the most moving love movies in a long time. and even if you can’t go and see it with your important other half go and see it with someone else, because the story told is both moving and interesting to watch.
national elections
we’ll now it’s official: the swiss are xenophobic! here is piece’s rant according the national elections of this weekend. i bow my head in shame.
new filewile-track available
dustbowl and deejot have released their new track “soupa”, which can be downloaded for free on their website. go and grab that dubby track, it rocks!
hohtuerli-panorama
finally i found some time to do some (minor) tweaks to the panorama i shot on the hohturli last weekend. it’s a full 360° panorama on the hohturli. when you open it, you look into the direction of the bluemlisalp-lodge. on the left you can view down to spiez, on the right is the descent to the oeschinensee and to kandersteg. if you click on the thumbnail on the right, you can download the 1.2mb .mov-file and see what i’ve seen. bear with me if the panorama far from perfect. i made it without a tripod and with my snapshot-cam:
pongmechanik
i do own a pong for my telly (a really lucky finding at the local second hand store for 15 bucks) but this fully-analog pong from two german students is way more cool. it’s built with pulleys, strings and pieces of glass. go and visit their site and watch the video (in 10mb and 6mb-flavour) with amazement!
