that is quite an interesting picture
in the paper today: a picture of what would happen if you put all the water on the earth and air in the atmosphere in one sphere above the earth (pdf of the original page). almost unbelievably small!! update: the pdf is only availiable if you are a subscriber to the archive, which puts you back 60 bucks a year. nonetheless i leave the link, maybe you are a subscriber…. update 2: the linked page has some quite interesting pictures!
polyball pictures
unartig uploaded the pictures they made at the polyball to their site. go and have a look, or click here and here and here and here and here and here and here to see ninas and my pictures. these both are my favourites.
golden shoes
you want them? go get them :-)
polyball
it was lovely, thanks for asking. the second picture has quite funky colors, which were achieved through a long exposure time and without a flash.
how silly is this
i went to interdiscount because i needed some jewel cases for a gift project. i thought the cheapest way was to buy some empty ones, because i still have a spindle full of cd-roms back at home. to my amazement, it’s 30% cheaper to buy 10 cd’s in the case than to buy 10 empty jewel cases. how silly (but good for me…) ten empty cases for 15 bucks (left image) opposed to 10 cases with cd’s for 10 bucks (on the right):
uptime
well, my ibook has been up for 14 hours since the last reboot (had to reboot after my first kernel panic; unplugged the bluetoothmodule after update of bluetooth software through software update). now i go to bed and have a good night’s sleep. here’s a funky image with my uptime:
the art of rebellion
yesterday i read a review of “the art of rebellion”, today i surfed on their page and instantly bought that book. looks like a really good book to read (1.5mb pdf-preview) or just simply to look at. i can hardly wait until the postman rings twice… btw: go to page 7 in the pdf, there you can see invader from france. can you remember where in bern that he put up his invaders? (in the munstergasse and at least two in the matte…)
the little dirty secret
learn more about the ipod’s dirty little secret. which is actually quite a hassle for ipodowners in europe, either the people who sell ipod replacement batteries do not ship to europe, are well expensive or (apple itself) does not provide that service in europe.

put on your dancing shoes
next weekend nina and i go to the polyball which is the biggest decorated and themed ball in europe, there are supposed to be around 10k people. the theme is “kitsch as kitsch can” so i thought i buy these trashy funky dancing shoes which should go really well with a classic suit. yes, they’re golden and i’m probably gonna wear them only once, but hey, they did only cost 19 swiss francs :-)
no title
i even start to edit my ID3-tags, so that the links in the sidebar work (e.g. itunes finds the songs in the ITMS)
