the harddrive is the new bling – *gasp* and i can’t express it any better than alfie … “to have proper street cred these days you gots ta be all mp3 and 60 Gig baby”.

pspupdates – please forgive me for i have sinned. with all the frustrating things happening last week i had to get myself a new gadget = works like a charm to take away the blues, one time. can’t wait to see this game, and let’s hope it does get a release in europe. please? psp emulation would also be nice to get working, but uhm… games? all i can say is lumines, an audio-puzzle/sequencer game from the makers of REZ *bows in awe* for the ps2. featuring music by mondo grosso and eri nobuchika.

swissness [or: you had to be there]

heinrich gartentor manipulates and wins the elections for swiss minister of culture – or sumink. and who cares. right? however some swiss bloggers obviously took this online election rather too serious and i can’t help but get a very grumpy vibe from this leu podcast…
are bloggers bad losers? get a girlfriend already! at any rate: the score is artists – bloggers: 1 – 0.
