TV nostalgia: Colt Sieverts

A Ger­man (almost) his­tory les­son for the week­end: Ein Colt für alle ¤lle. When I was a kid, this guy and his two friends were on Ger­man national tv a lot. Big trucks (with a secret com­part­ment for hid­ing the … Con­tinue read­ing

Temporary feed redirect

It’s been a while since I’ve done a ‘it won’t be long before some­thing amaz­ing hap­pens on this blog’, so to not dis­ap­point any­one, I’ve tem­porar­ily redi­rected requests for my rss-feed to my FeedBurner-feed which is spliced with my del.ico.us-bookmarks. I’ve men­tioned it before and hoped that I got round to do some splic­ing of my own to get camblog/sideblog feeds in there as well, but for now I’ll set­tle with just tak­ing a look at the sta­tis­tics of the blog feed.

Talking Heads-cast

Andreas informs us that TV2 will be air­ing reallife.log, a two-minutes-per-head-a-day type show with per­sonal sto­ries soon. I think he’s absolutely right, that vide­ologs on tv is a strange con­cept, that the per­sonal pub­lish­ing bit is inter­est­ing and that most … Con­tinue read­ing

Get lost, pinball wizard

To the poor excuse of a man that insists on play­ing the pin­ball machine at the local water­ing hole incred­i­bly loud with that stu­pid ‘all men are just lit­tle boys’ look on his face every sin­gle time I set foot in the place: Get a life.… When I’m in the process of wak­ing up, inject­ing cof­fee into my body, I don’t need stu­pid noise from stu­pid trou­ble makers.

PodCommuter hubcaps

After read­ing Rus­sell Beattie’s post on lis­ten­ing to pod­casts while he com­mutes and see­ing the iPod click-wheel illus­tra­tion I thought of some­thing: Wouldn’t click-wheel hub­caps be a nice way to tell your fel­low com­muters you’re totally clued in? A decent photo of such a wheel on one of those hub­caps that stay sta­tion­ary while you drive and you’re good to go…

Help victims…everywhere

So, the tsunami came, a lot of peo­ple died and now peo­ple all over the world are help­ing the best they can.… What is quite a prob­lem how­ever, is that while a true dis­as­ter, the tsunami isn’t nowhere near our biggest global prob­lem when it comes to peo­ple in need.

Talking with your customers

Minor changes in the Base­camp pric­ing struc­ture (which is just fine and not the point), com­ments from the cus­tomers. While old news in the won­der­ful com­mu­nity of the inter­web, that ‘mar­kets are discussions’-thing sure is some­thing, huh?

Blog redesign, episode 10

Haven’t had time to tin­ker with the new blog design for some time now, but upon yesterday’s dis­cov­ery of Favatars, it was a pleas­ant sur­prise to fin a Fav­i­con MT-plugin over at Gemal’s today.… On a related note, I recently put in a captcha-test on the com­ment pages; I’ve been hit hard by com­ment spam­mers lately — they made a big mess and my host started send­ing wor­ried emails.

Back to my roots with my pocket full of cash

After 9/11 that cer­tainly isn’t easy, but I’ll let you in on my secret as I actu­ally stole the idea from some of the big (Dan­ish) play­ers in the busi­ness, Jubii and B.T.… With­out ruin­ing the over­all graphic design of your page, a sim­ple logo in a colour you don’t con­trol, gen­tly takes over your back­ground.

Powerbook trouble

Nor­mally I would log in here — if I turn ‘log in after sleep’ off, I can come back to a func­tion­ing OS fram sleep mode.… I have no idea what’s going on.

Get yourself stuck

Every­thing is packed, espe­cially my hard disk. I have down­loaded a whole bunch of pod­casts I have not been able to lis­ten to (this is a big issue with pod­casts) and I’m kinda look­ing for­ward to be stuck at the air­port or on the air­plane in order to be finally able to lis­ten to all this stuff.
