computerlove.net: connecting creative talents
i am still trying to wrap my head around this. but i can already say that this seems to be an extremly cool project. the web-design is one of the better things i have seen lately: totally crisp, sexy even. many communitybased elements make up for the main content. artists can submit galleries and present their portfolios/cv’s.
there’s also a pixelsurgeon style news box where people can post links and projects… a sort of quick and easy groupblog.
computerlove could easily grow into something much more collaborative than k10k ever was…

because he had mentioned urs meier in his eurocup-blog journalist christian zingg started receiving many angry emails from english readers thinking that he was urs meier. so he posted a disclaimer on his blog: i am not urs meier. watch the comments. they understood well… oh the glorious web…
and even the guardian decided to help: please go now, but again the comments show that the brits remained unconvinced.

yesterday i went to see the oh-gosh-i-really-should-sell-my-car movie.
but then i started to wonder why everybody [well, everybody except dubya bush of course] seems to diss cars and fossil fuels nowadays and nobody mentions beef and sheep and goats and cows?
why is that?
is the meat industry lobby still the holy cow? errr… in a manner of speaking. why are people’s diets an ever greater taboo than their cars? like, dont touch my plate, dude…

well, let me burst your bubble [if it aint burst already] *rubs hands*: its a confirmed fact that the cattle raising industry alone produces more harmful co2 than all cars taken together [its in their poo in the form of methane]. and not to mention the rainforests in southamerica that get clearcut each year in order to raise cattle for only one or two years [forrests could counteract the co2 overproduction] …

so do sell you cars, but also: go veg!

its fun even: here’s vegweb - the most amazing vegetarian website that lets you select a menu, save it in your menubox and even save and print the grocery list. perfect!
and if your lonely and need a vegetarian lover here’s veggieconnection.com - a free of charge dating service!!! [its not like i am looking, but i simply had to register… ;-)]
and, lets face it guys, the most creative restaurants worldwide are vegetarian: millenium, san francisco - joia, milano - cafe paradiso, cork

and with that i’ll stop preaching. i’m sorry its that movies fault…

finally i got around to doing this age old idea… but uhm

here are all the euro.04-shopperies: A B C D the bye bye’s

dj ramax: at halftime
dj ramax says: “a little bit of sommer - a little bit of football…”
and we still nod our head in deepest appreciation for the - in my humble opinion - most talented producer in bern/switzerland.

street memes beta is a brilliant new community website dedicated to street art:

“street meme: a sticker, stencil, or poster that can spread a single image around the world. Unlike traditional graffiti art where each piece is unique, street memes can be copied repeatedly, taking on a life of their own, and spreading through the collective effort of people scattered around the world.

meme: A term coined by Biologist Richard Dawkins to describe self replicating ideas. Read more about the concept of the meme here.”

its all good, down to the creative commons licence… ;-)

because they have bad timing…
its usually exactly at the time when you need to take your much deserved nap that your neighbors decide to do their aerobic workout or to clean behind their radiators using a dildo buttplug metal object [why?] for hours…

because the are passive aggressive, vindictive cnuts…
one of my downstairs neighbors, we call her giftzwerg [poisonous-gnome] - you know the type: extremly short (150cm/4′9″ max.) with shortcropped red hair, glasses and so ugly, that you would like to hook her up in your living room and use her as a punching bag feel sorry for her - so anyway… this neighbor besides being short and ugly she has this really submissive attitude when you meet her in the staircase, like: here-let-me-step-out-of-your-way-sir-and-please-dont-punch-me. yet immidiatly after she enters her dwarfkingdom, which happens to be the appartment right bellow mine - usually after having slammed the door as loudly as humanly possible - she magically transforms into the devil queen of her domaine and behaves as annoying as she possibly can…

because their moods invade your space…
if you are a reasonably sensitive person (which i am) living in an old appartment with shitty insolations (which i do) its unavoidable that you feel your neighbors moods (which sucks). ugly red for instance is a manic-deppressive, so thats quite fun… her latest flatmates however - they usually last for about half a year with ugly red - has the most nervous energy ever. when she’s home all the floors constantly tremble, and this only slows down hours after she has left the house, and we still wonder how she does that trick. and when it does slow down its just about time for her to come back home to make the floors tremble again…

because they can’t communicate for shit…
ugly red is a specialist in behaving in ways that are extremly annoying, but usually not quite annoying enough so you could reasonably go down to punch her complain, she is a master at walking that particular line… when she does overstep clearly and you get to punch her complain to her about something, she will usually be all submissive and apologetic. only to then slam her door even louder for the next couple of weeks… so its best not to say nothing and just use your voodoo doll quietly suffer…

because they have smelly shoes…
for some reason in our house all our downstairs neighbors have decided to keep their smelly shoes in the staircase - and i should add that we live in the top floor, so thats 4 floors worth of smelly shoes eachtime we climb up here. needless to say that its only on a good day that you dont faint while trying to get your mail… but now with stuffy summer around the corner please do not be too surprised, if someday this blog will simply stop… i might have fainted for good from smelly shoes in our staircase. call 911!

barthez is prolly glad he can go home to his supermodel gf: NSFW 18+ supah hot momma …
