todays fun link
cannot afford an ipod? then click here, print out, cut at the according lines, bend, glue and be happy :-) (link from various sites over the net, including gizmodo, ipodlounge and boingboing)
this looks like the thing to have...
i wonder why they call it the grand canyon series displays :-) and now for something completely different: my holidays in kos were absolutely beautiful, thanks for asking…
my next week
i will be here with nina until the 29th september. (and i do not have gprs-coverage in greece, so don’t expect even a tiny update…)
this needs to be a fun link
after some ego-googling i found: the HABi-spicery!
g5 supercluster
these guys are wild! (here are more infos on the G5 supercluster at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University) update: read more on apple.slashdot.org (also for some funny comments on this)
1.141553 km/h
today i reached 4454 km on my bike (i didn’t have my camera with me at 4444km, so this was after i finished to work today…). i got my odometer sometimes around the beginning of april this year. so this means that i drive around 10000 km a year on my bike, hence 1.141553 km/h (only at work, i drive quite a bit when i do not work…) i could do a lot more calculations with my odometer: i consistently drive around 100 km during one work day, and make a bit more than 200 CHF on one day, so for each kilometer i drive at work i earn something like a cheap little bread or one of these king-size mars bars or half a coke in the restaurant or 2 CHF. i need to get a shower :-)
weird news
this sounds a bit strange for me: i knew that text messages are not the hype-thing in the us of a, but that it’s considered big news by mobiletracker, that one can send SMS to other countries does sound a bit like oldfashioned news indeed… btw: read this entry on gizmodo for another view on this :-)
shopping/dreaming
today i went shopping a little bit (free afternoon, because all my classes are already on holidays and i’m only biking around 50 % of my time…): some little stuff for the upcoming week, i’ll be in greece, and then went to jaggi, because you can read all the comics you want without bein bothered. near the comics FUST has an electronica-shop which i never can resist and always go and have a little look: today i spotted the perfect replacement for my old VCR, which is not far away from dying: the Panasonic DMR-HS2 , a combination of HD- and DVD-recorder which can fit up to 52 hours of video on its disk.
ubergeek
i think my geekness could only be satisfied if i lived in japan. i wonder when the new clie ux50 is gonna come out here in switzerland (with integrated wifi, bluetooth, keyboard, camera, a big-ass screen and a polished palm os…) update: well, it actually does come out here somewhere in october for a hefty entry price of 930 CHF. dream on dreamer!
USB
gizmodo (one of my favourite gadget site) talked about a mysterious USB-powered noodle thingy (here and here) sometimes last week. now look at this really strange USB gadget i found on brando’s shop while looking for some other USB-stuff.
