tomorrow is summer solstice and the weather got no balls. i would like to bounce around a fire like nuts before the days get shorter again...
a couple of sensomatics had a lot of fun in berlin. with floricsome commentaries.
le piano graphique. feels like full fun for me.
"welcome to the system 6 heaven!"
i wonder if it will run on my pizzabox with 32megs... (i don't think so).
tonight the second fastest weblog rallye driver walid al-khalily does what he can do even better (heheh): playing jazzy guitar tunes together with two other guys (a dj and a drummer as far as i know) as "bela butono" in vienna's volksgarten banane. they will be presenting tracks of their first record and i am really curious what they will sound like (btw. latest rumours state that the gig will not start before midnight...). the setting also features folks from café del mar and vienna scientists. and there is even a special appearance of the british short film night. how exciting!
praise myself: i just looked at the nofrontiere website again, one of my first html jobs that went online and even got an award. that was 1997. so long ago. i coded uppercase html tags at that time. the future is lowercase. however, the webgroup really did a great job. i am still amazed by the janek section (btw. can you find janek's hidden picture down in the depths of the sea?).
the former slavedriver of nofrontiere is nowadays called "leading-edge web designer" (according to local newspapers), janek is still fishing (i suppose) and i moved further, in a more fruitful direction (at least that is what i think when i get the whimsyload).
the rebol shoebox, a fascinating voyage through lava, magma, tv stations and almost all os manufacturers.

close, but no cigar. i don't want to add this stupid meta tag to all my pages. i don't want to opt-out, i want to opt-in! help, high commissioner, help!
oh, i almost forgot: the nielsendance.
connie guglielmo's opinion on how microsoft tries to get smart is really very, very good. she underlines the whole mess created by microsoft's smart tags.
