time lapse painting
what do you get if you put a bucket of paint, three guys and a shabby room together? see for yourself in this time-lapse movie (656 kb) of us painting the messenger office.
kill bill
that guy surely has a foot fetish! i just returned from seeing “kill bill” in the most charming cinema in bern, the abc (so i can tick another task off my 2do list :-) despite all the depicted brutality in the movie it’s got very high class - like most tarantino movies do - and is filmed in a very energizing way, mixing the timeline as almost all tarantino movies do, and mixing realfilm with a short anime-style episode. it surely leaves you with a deep urge to go see “kill bill, volume 2”, especially with that hook line at the end… go and see it, if you haven’t already…
back on track
happy 04 everyone: my 2do-list still looks like this: prepare gifts, do not proceed until finished go offline, turn computer off stay offline until ‘04 wish everyone a happy new year! read a book (naomi klein, no logo!, quite complicated, stanislav lem, transfer (an old favourite of mine), and about 3.5 backissues of the weltwoche) go skiing (i’ll go to the lauchernalp tomorrow) try out that bunch of recipes (i liked that one) cuddle with nina go see lotr3 go see herr lehmann go see dogville go see kill bill (nina and me wanted to go yesterday, but then ended watching cast away on the telly) see mates & friends & family conquer extralinephobia do stuff that matters
see you next year!
ps: extralineophobia is a definition by pieceoplastic. ps: i’ve already seen lotr3, but didn’t know when i scanned the pic above, so this one is already done :-) ps: i told b. today that i’m gonna be offline until next year, and he asked my why. i spend much too much time on the net, reading all the various pages, and rss-feeds that interest me, but for this holiday season i want to read books, want to watch one of my more than 50 unwatched dvd’s or just lie around without spending too much time sitting in front of that little 12’’ glooming rectangle. that’s why happy 04 everyone!
lotr3: the return of the king
sunday evening i went to see the return of the king, which was really good. it’s amazing what the guys behind the computer achieved in that movie. one of the scenes made the crowd in the cinema applause spontaneously: legolas takes down one of those gigantomaniac war-elephants in such an elegant way that leaves you absolutely breathless! a wonderful, energetic wrapping of real-film with amazing cgi. if you’ve seen the first two episodes, then the third is a must, if you haven’t you spend most of your time in bed, so it’s no big deal to you anyway :-)
fun link
call my humor a bit depraved, but i think the movies on rathergood are rather good! the kittens at the gaybar are funky!
stealth marketing
take a look at this website for a too-good-to-be-true robot, the NS-5. those of you that read or used to read Isaac Asimov novels will get it at the first look that this page must be in some kind related to him, because of that little saying in the bottom left corner: “3 laws safe”: and when you perform a WHOIS-check on who registered the domain irobotnow.com then you see that the whole thing is probably a marketing campaign to make you want to see the upcoming film by 20th century fox, i robot.
todays fun link
it’s been a while since i posted a funny link, so here’s the one that also fits into holiday season: how far can you throw santa? i managed to throw him 249.1m at the third try. give it a go, you have to click once to start the game, and another time to charge the slingshot. but don’t let go too early or too late :-)
how tall are you?
i’m 17.79 ipods tall, how about you? [via ipodlounge]
wtf?
this cannot be true :-) or have you ever seen a police-car with an USB-hub to plug in that USB-powered-police strobe? [via slashdot] and following up these posts :-) oh, and the usb-grill (aprils fool joke) or usb-razor (which reminds me of that mobile) are not bad, too.
