iDon’t

the problem is, it is bashvertisment trying to sell another mp3 player.
the other problem is, they are totally absolutely 100 % right in their criticism.

there has never ever been a more awful, yet totally overrated gadget in the history of home electronics.
design is nothing.
and sadly, dear apple, this will so backfire.

pieceoBolitix c-word guy goma petition

oi beeb, give guy goma the job already

To: BBC

We, the fans of Guy Goma, would like to support Guy’s application for a fulltime position within the BBC, following his recent application. Guy was mistakenly interviewed live on TV, rather than sitting the job interview he was in the building to attend. We urge the BBC to give Guy the job he applied for, or a better one.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

edit:
the SECOND Guy Goma interview at the BBC.

wwWank Apple und die Pressefreiheit für Blogger

“Apple unterlag mit einer Klage vor einem kalifornischen Gericht in San Jose. Das Unternehmen war bereits vor rund zwei Jahren gegen die Betreiber der Website PowerPage, AppleInsider und ThinkSecret vor Gericht gezogen.

Der Vorwurf lautete, die Betreiber hätten Firmengeheimnisse über eine Audio-Schnittstelle für FireWire – Codename Asteroid – ausgeplaudert. Apple wollte die Webmaster dazu zwingen, ihre Quellen offenzulegen, um die Informationslecks im eigenen Unternehmen aufspüren zu können. In erster Instanz hatte ein Gericht im März 2005 Apple Recht gegeben. Im April 2006 ging das Verfahren jedoch in Berufung.

In ihrem 69 Seiten umfassenden Spruch revidieren die Richter das Urteil der ersten Instanz und sprechen den Betreibern von Weblogs und Nachrichtenseiten im Internet dieselben Rechte auf Pressefreiheit zu, wie sie für Journalisten anderer Medien gelten. Dazu gehört unter anderem das Recht, die Namen von Informanten unter Verschluss zu halten. “

sexual anarchy will finally happen

of course i really really really wanted to use the laughing yogi in this podcast. but somehow things took me into a completely different direction. quite a sexual direction actually. note to self: i should prolly not watch the john waters movie “a dirty shame” before making a podcast.
“the sexual revolution has finally been won”, says johnny knoxville in the movie. and we wish he spoke the truth. this mix then is only for the very brave. and the not at work. no really. it’s that bad. he he. yeah, michael jackson bad. naughty bad. the word nasty comes to mind as well. and where did we hear that word before?

but this webpage: Free Information Society - Historical Sounds in MP3 Format is also to blame as it contains some amazing samples. i might have to annoy you, my brave listeners, if there are any, for months to come with the spiro agnews of this world.

please enjoy pieceocast. while it lasts. and tell a friend.

pieceocast cover

playlist: music borrowed [with all due respect] from:
1. pieceocast intro: a loop from amon tobin: hokkaido [chaos theory, the splinter cell soundtrack]; fred, the voice in my computer, samples

pieceoBalls wwWank the internet is for porn panini

the internet is for porn panini

amazing thing happened. just like every other worldcup i am collecting panini stickers; and yes, i knowww. silly and i AM way too old for this.
but this year things are going rather well, thanx to the - hold your breathe - glorious interweb. i have been doing all my card trading online at fussballbilder.ch, interesting thing, i have noticed that most of my trades were with women, at least 80%. it is truely amazing, because it works solely on trust. suspicious as i am by nature i was only waiting for someone to take advantage of this trust and not send the stickers by mail as they had promised. but so far all my trades went well and exactly as discussed via email.

actually, a few days ago i thought a guy had cheated me. this is what happened: wednesday a week ago we had agreed on a trade for 7 stickers. i sent his stickers out the same day and started waiting for his. friday, no letter. saturday, nope. monday, still nothing. i was getting a bit antsy and wrote this guy an email. he did not respond. tuesday, still nothing. i sent him a second email, still no response. on the site i posted a comment where i accused him of cheating: warning, so and so is cheating. silly distrusting me, because …

wednesday … i got his letter. and this was priceless. the adress was written in kid’s writing. i am no expert, but he can be no more than 10 or 11 years old, but he could be as young as 9. inside i find all the 7 stickers we had agreed on plus one extra sticker: a silver sticker that i was still missing. you must know, that on schoolyards silver stickers count double.

i was so moved by this. the kid had panicked, because he was late, and so he added the extra sticker for me, for which he must have gone back to check my list of missing stickers, omg. beautiful.

pieceoBeatz pieceoCast new herbert album scale w. microsite

herbert scale

always the sampling whizz herbert for his new album scale has sampled 723 objects, among them “coffins, petrol pumps, meteorites, an RAF tornado bomber and somebody being sick outside a banquet for a notorious london arms fair”. apparently. lol.

the music sounds innovative as ever, the only thing that scares me is the “free mp3″ thingie. it says you get a free mp3 if you send an ecard to 3 friends. however it does not specify what happens with the the emails that get collected in such a way.

so i was scared and i, some guy named “true” living on Dangerislands in NZ, sent emails to my spam collector emails, of which i got a few new ones, wircklich[at]nurfuerspam[dot]de (mit schreibfehler wars noch frei), 100pro[at]nurfuerspam[dot]de and wuerstchen[at]vorsicht-scharf[dot]de hah, but only funny in german i’m afraid.

but anyway. i got my free mp3, and i am happy as a sausage.
