suicmc04.ch
during the first weekend of next october the Suisse Cycle Messenger Championships 04 will take place here in bern. if you want to take a sneak-peak at the website of the SUICMC04, then you might want to click here. everything is up and running, just “hidden” from the general public until all quirks are sorted out. yesterday, michel and abu spent the whole day designing and putting the page online, and i spent a part of the morning with abu to design and implement the registration-database. everything is live now, so if you want to register yourself on a messenger-event, then you can do it now, i’ll flush the MYSQL-db before the site goes online for real.
funny link
since i’ve keep posting only small blurbs tonight, i’ll try to stick to it: just listen to that story here (2.0mb mp3-file, only in german). it’s a sad but true story which is not that great that it deserves a link, but the guy reading that story has the absolute evil laugh. max mailed me that file nearly three weeks ago, and already complained that i did not blog it here :-) he saw it in the djforum where some other guy actually made a song out of the schlumpf-story (1.6mb mp3-file). both hilarious!
vektorika
piece blogged vektorika quite some time ago. tonight i finally had time to look at all the issues that appeared up to now. all the issues are chock-full vectorized graphic-design, feature work from many different artists, are just simply brilliant and downloadable for free!
good music for free
like always, all good things in life are free: MTV has an upcoming show called MTV Mash. the french duo Loo & Placido made all the bootlegs for that show. the bootlegs that MTV turned down are now available from their L&D’s site. if you don’t want to sift through their page, the boingboing-post linked below has the direct links to all the mp3’s. go and grab ’em. “Pound for Pound” and “Golden Bastard” are my favorites
nichtlustig.de
those of you who like humor a bit on the bizarre side will be pleased to know that nichtlustig.de now also features a rss-feed, so you won’t ever again miss one of the (not so) daily comics!
amazing flash-movies
the flagrant blogger links to an amazing movie, but i think the other movie of that guy is even better. judge for yourself! (both .swf-movies are quite hefty on the big side, but it’s worth the wait!) oh, and the page of the guy which made those two gems has the funniest navigation i’ve ever seen :-) [via flagr.antville [via b3ta]]
picture of the week
this week it’s actually not a picture of the week, but a movie of the week. today a friend of mine visited me, because her laptop was unable to connect to the intaweb. after some probing i found out that she must have gotten a virus, which clogged her connection to the net, spewing itself out to all the people in her address-book. so i decided to install a free antivirus software for her (downloaded that excellent software to my mac, transferred and installed it on her pc) and scanned for viruses, since her norton-antivirus refused to work (also because of the multiple viruses she caught. on the first run the software found 1500+ infected files, cleaned them, but refused to finish its process. on the second run (after a reboot) it found 5000+ infected files. the scanner can be configured to make an audible beep each time a file is cleaned, so you get that funky soundeffect in the file below (3mb .mpg-file).
my eye
now it looks like this:
ouch
this is what happens if you walk out of the store, try to see where you parked your bike and then walk into a pole. a big ouchy! i think i’ll need to go and buy some more steristrips tomorrow ;-) (warning: the link is not for the faint of heart, it was the first hit on google…) update: although my eye starts to get a funky bruise, my ouchie is nothing compared to this one here. that guy got six nails from a nail-gun in his head!!!

fumetto
tomorrow i’ll be in lucerne at the fumetto. i cannot wait to see katz und goldt, their strips are hilarious! the weather won’t be nice tomorrow which is a good thing, because i’m not gonna get distracted by the beautiful view over the lake of lucerne and be able to drown me in reading comics all day long.
