a ---- helper to learn the american sign language using short movie captures. strange: there are many autonomous variations of sign languages in different countries. will a deaf guy from singapore not understand his dutch colleague then?
sign writing is looking bloody complicated.
sanctions, sanctions, sanctions! news from all over the planet, from europe and from austria – a wonderful and lonely 404. poor country, sniff...
a week can be a long time according to this tagline.
boom yo! rush the show: a furious relaunch of sensomatic just shortly before midnight... coool amazing design and loads of fun with sensominder. rock'n'roll!
it appears like a curse to me, but i am constantly dropping some ideas on other sites forgetting to curry them in my own furry context. however, i just read about my suggestion for a new top-level domain called .log (or .blog?) on langreiter daily again – and with all beseeming modesty i think it's fantastic!
christian asks the right question: how are top-level domains obtained, resp. applied for? do we still have to be patient?
btw: should rather the united nations allocate domain names or is icann already the net's uno? one and another reader's letters in german news magazine der spiegel covering the topic.
shit, did i miss something not being at monomedia in berlin? i think so (at least a little bit). richard barbrook and joseph weizenbaum were there (and etoy, yawn!...). among other people i never heard of before. but latter are the reason why it could have been interesting.
crazy cow: i misheard exactly those words, too! thanks to partykeller for link & revelation...
cool: the next denki groove album is approaching europe! they are fantastic and irresistibly funny (rodney alan greenblat likes them, too!). "voxx" what's the new album called comes along with liner notes describing the tracks. i hardly can remember when i have seen something like that the last time... must have been some cruel jazzrockfusion crap. irony? weird japanese humor? i dunno. i just want the record. anyone willing to send me a copy from japan, please? jigoku e ochiro denki groove!
denki groove dj takkyu ishino is coming to vienna 3rd of june spinning the wheels at some bloody "rave".
once upon a time i got mail from a guy from the states whose last name was piefke. he wanted to know if i could tell him where the name originates from. i could not be very helpful since i only knew that austrians like to call germans that way and that the sausage dog in erich kästner's "pünktchen und anton" is called piefke, too. now here is a german gloss reflecting about the word. it does not provide a real answer either, but i know that a wise man knows more questions than answers (or so they say).
one of the finest records i am proud to own is spooky's found sound (not to be muddled up with dj spooky, yuck!). interestingly, there is a well-compiled history of found sound featuring luigi russolo (who coined the term that gave name to "the art of noise"), marcel duchamp (heavily reflected by clockdva), the german dadaist's club "cabaret voltaire" being named after, leon theremin (at least the sound of his thereminvox is widely known since mars attacks), then cage, schaeffer, varese, stockhausen and finally – dj spooky! – why the hell isn't anybody listening?
did i miss the blog entries about natacha merritt and her digital diaries (published by taschen)? or is a 21-year-old nymphomanic hippie-chick with a digicam not that interesting for the weblog world? i expected to find hundreds of links, thousands of discussions and millions of dollars... sex sold-out? however, a good excuse to provide the links myself, heheh.
