  1. HOT LOVE – SWISS PUNK & WAVE 1976-1980

    Its price is more “swiss” than “punk”.

    Err, it does not any longer. They changed it and it’s all about Jesus now. b3ta’s challenges are getting lamer these days.

    I think i know what you mean. I found it rather cool.

    The more i read stuff like this, the more i think to myself… will bloggers ever stop taking themselves so dead seriously? Come on people. Do you really need to be in any “network”, win any “award”? Be “web 2.0” (Who’s this guy to talk like this, when he doesn’t even have a blog? Yeah, precisely.

  2. Parts of my comment got eaten in the process – thee Web 2.0 ov Eevil does not want me to tell this ugly Truth (or maybe i fucked up with the html tags, which i cannot know how to use since i don’t have a blog).

    Basically, what i wanted to add is that i see many bloggers spending loads off time dealing with “internal affairs of the blogosphere” (?) instead of focusing on honestly sharing their knowledge (which, i reckon, is one of the main purpose or blogging, is it not? Maybe idealism is waaaayyy too 1990 nowadays…).

    But it is, of course, a free world (haha) and everyone should do as (s)he is pleased.

  3. hallo,

    danke für die nette erwähnung. das freut uns sehr. wir sind ja noch eine ziemlich junge sendung und brauchen support. nächsten samstag geht es übrigens um künstliche bzw. virtuelle identitäten.

    viele grüße
