i'm loving it!
i just love that quote: There really are only two kinds of computer geeks: those who’ve gone gaga over MacOSX and those who don’t own a Mac (yet). [via simon willison] oh, and by the way: the resemblance of the title with the new campaign of a burger-selling company is purely accidental. (have you seen the commercia in the movies? it’s so bad you want to start to cry immediately, an absolutely lamo ad (7.8 mb mpeg-file) featuring a really silly swiss-german rap-song…)
war is fucking stupid!
take a look at these two videos: first this video (mpg-video hosted on bushflash.com, about 4.6mb) which - rather graphically - depicts the killing of three men from a helicopter (and those soldiers don’t even add to the at least 8000 reported civilian deaths already!) then this video here (.wmv-file, hosted by glider, about 1.1mb) where us soldiers repeatedly shoot a wounded iraqi and then describe it as: “It was a good feeling. Afterwards, you’re like, Hell, yeah, that was AWESOME! Let’s do it again!”
dumb people spending money
i just cannot imagine how dumb people must be. i saw this auction on ricardo.ch, where a guy sells his firewire-drive enclosure and thought, well 30 bucks seems like a fair price for it (to make me an external hd, because my ibook comes to it’s limit..). and today i saw that some other guy set a higher bid, which is ok, that’s the way it works. but then, one day later he sets another bid, so he actually wants to pay more than himself :-) and then comes another guy and bids three times the last price, how dumb must you be to do that? (or maybe he is only very impulsive and couldn’t think of another way to spend 95 bucks :-)
crazy habi!
look at my crazy new page! i’m such a bad-ass-web-designer!!! [via etoy and greg]
ego-pumping
well, that’s nice, and does pump my ego a bit (not that i actually needed it :-) piecoblog blogrolls to me, so now i’m on the same pieceoblog-famous-scale as etoy and monorom (monorom is part of the kaywa-team where greg also pumps out some code, the one greg which knows b., small world innit?) for one time i was faster than boingboing :-) today they posted the link to minimal porn, and i did that quite some time ago.
dropping balls
perfect for just a tad after midnight: balldroppings, a hard to describe piece of software (available for windows and os x) since it’s so hard to describe, i’ll just cite the author: BallDroppings is an addicting and noisy play-toy. give it a go, but maybe it’s best if you wait till tomorrow morning. good night [via boingboing]
bush in 30 seconds
If you haven’t seen the ironic ads for the Bush administration up to now, then it’s a good time to go to bush in 30 seconds. all the ads are made to explains what this US-president bush and his policies are really about - in only 30 seconds - and under a creative commons license. the whole contest is a project of moveon.org, a catalyst website ‘to bring ordinary people back into politics’ which wants to create an ad to challege bush’s politics and politicians. most of the ads are well worth the 30 seconds, go watch them, or as glider said: I hope the people who need to see these watch them.
alternative clocks
if you want a new kind of clock to tell the time then go either to: humanclock or to this page do you know any other webpage with a cool clock? leave a comment!
skiing is so cool
i had to go in town (which is a nuisance on saturdays, but i had to get my prescription for the pain-killers…) and ended up in a bookstore where they had a big sale, including a lot of dvd’s. so i not only ended up with a prescription for medicaments, but also with two new dvd’s: a deluxe 3 dvd edition of spiderman for 33 bucks (have you seen the trailer for spiderman2?) and a amazing skiing movie: global storming for 20 bucks.
the new ipod mini
well the new ipod mini really is mini! take a look at the pictures on the bottom of that page and you’ll be amazed… [via macrumors]
