the course of mathematics and the heritage of mankind: dr peter plichta and the prime numbers – "deciphering the world riddle by investigating the prime number code".

hey, music industry! currently i am napstering all the tracks from yonderboi's album "shallow & profound" (which i found via le sofa blogger). closing-down sale download... duh!

no answer from petrograd (4.3mb mp3).

yonderboi on tour: 02.03. budapest, pecsa (w/ red snapper; to be confirmed), 10.03. budapest, tütü bánya / butik - érted (to be confirmed), 04.03. debrecen, lovarda

i just noticed this cool google feature: since google also indexes pdf files it provides a text version of it that can be read without the acrobat plug-in. an example that looks like raindrops are falling down the page: retrievals within an unified all-weather ocean algorithm.

missed your plane? maybe for good: flugzeug-absturz.de.

i miss the entry of february 23, 1989, when a "commander ac-90" of rheintalflug airlines crashes near rohrschach into lake constance killing austrian minister of labour alfred dallinger and 10 other people.

michael kaspar has some very nice approaches towards web-savvy typography and embeds flash in a way i do not consider it very disturbing. he is the author of upuauet, a very fine ressource about designing the web. among other profound opinions there is also a good article about "flash kontra html" (in german).

the book section contains very interesting books (e.g. "hypergraphics") but also a big no-no: amazon.de links and affiliate program. ...start typing noamazon!

piefke, where the hell have you been? piefke is dead. long live piefke!

apologies for not mentioning the best event that happened so far this year still young at heart. i was in bielefeld, the center of ost-westfalen, and met wonderful people at (or: in the) mediensalat. i still grasp for words to describe what has happened there. but one thing is for sure: nothing will be as it was. big deal, huh?

anyway, big hugs and thanks go out for the hosts and organisators tibor bogun and christian terbeck. respect for their vision, courage and talents. you made it really happen. now enjoy your spare time and glance at your first-grade diploma, will you?!

the mediensalat compilation: uas bielefeld (design faculty), partykeller, sensomatic, uas dornbirn, gerd fleischmann bio, dieter telfser polit-poster, foebud.org, zerberus, crème fraîche, konstantin woinoff, torsten grünwald pix, karl gerstner: "programme entwerfen"

rainer's link today (actually from yesterday): petition to save "clarus" the apple dogcow.

better than lsd: "die christen-front für tugend, sitte und moral" ("front of christians pro virtue, ethics and moral"). my fellow colleagues spent their whole spare time on this site yesterday laughing non-stop. html from hell.

in modern internet times the saying "nobody knows you when you're down" has quite a more profound meaning than anytime before...

telepolis: "computerspiele-museum berlin geschlossen" - how about a fund for that?
