are flash mobs still cool?

yesterday there was a flash mob here in bern (and i missed it, i thought it’s today, i confused the date…) and today there was a little article in two newspapers (in the BZ and in 20min). b. and me were thinking about “organising” a flash mob some weeks ago. he pointed out a link to me about the first flashmob in manhattan. (actually we talked about it on the 18th of june, because i was just looking up the conversation we had over ICQ…) and it seemed like a really funny thing to do. as berni points out, the flash mob in bern was not a full success, but i think this leaves room for more ideas…

look ma' :-)

how do you like my new dock? a funny little app named skin a dock makes this possible. and it’s even donationware, so double the fun :-) SaD needs the application enhancer from unsanity (go check them out, they have a bunch of cool OS X apps) to run, but it takes care of downloading it, so you only need to download skinadock, the rest is a walkthrough…

a new toy

well this is amazing. i thought - now that i’m a teacher - i need something practical to carry my files from home to school instead of burning them on a cd, emailing them to myself or carrying my ibook to school. so i bought one of these USB-memorysticks with 128mb capacity. today it was in the mail and i have to say i was truly surprised how small this thingy is (good there was a little hand-leash included :-)

fun link

i’m not shure if these guys make fun of themself, but their page is quite useful, if you’re looking for some little experiments for school (which is what i’m doing extensively at the moment :) they also have a little part which is a bit more esoteric…

alleycat in bern

if you see some freaks on bikes driving around bern like mad on friday night, then you know it’s an alleycat1 organised by bene and me :-) so, if you see one of the messengers (sometimes after 10pm) then cheer and shout and watch your back for more reckless drivers! 1 Alleycat: not on a closed course held race in a city, organized by bikemessengers. Usually with several checkpoints and not caring about traffic rules. As far as known, the first alleycats known as such took place in toronto, Canada.

…if you haven’t been at the lerbermatt-gymer :-) (probably all my blog-readers exept B., Miklos and Arni) as you might have heard, i’m the substitution teacher of hans kammer (MC of Physics!) at that high school we all were. and this morning was the teacher conference to the start of the semester. when i walk towards the building, guess who’s watching out of the window: Ändee Johl and Dieter Gilgen. They both look a bit puzzled and then. start. to. wave. their. hands. oh joy :-) this is gonna be a fun semester.

8 years ago

8 years ago this week, Microsoft launched the war between the browsers (was there any other than netscape back then) with the release of the first version of the Internet Explorer. guess who won the war? but there are still some fighters left (at least on windows-platforms) mozilla, also with its firebird opera netscape (does this still count?) on os x microsoft stopped the development of IE, because they had to admit, that apple has a more advanced product: safari (mostly because they knew how to tie it into the OS :-)
