scanlog: "we figure there are millions of computers out there with scanners that no-one is particularly using ... it is our ongoing mission to get some use out of them, and in the process create a public archive of the strange, normal, extraordinary and plain inexplicable".
i wish one day somebody may take a picture of me like this one.
new york subway instruction page. favorite icons: destroying, manner, tracks... nuyoricans need to be pretty much instructed, don't they!?
thanks hannes for doing the job extracting some still images from the karaoke video. it looks a little bit like we all were in a huge darkroom but this is just an illusion. i think those images could be processed a little bit that at least some things become more visible (but the quality won't get any better)...
definitely stunning is the mp3 recording of the crowd chanting "we are the world".
we're all stars now in the dope freak show: rotten.com. beware, adventurerer, of your scariest expectations – they might get met...
postfestive trauma... it was very nice, indeed. thanks to all the people who have been here. great to see the well-known, very lovely faces again. exciting to meet wonderful new people. and everybody was singing “we are the world” (yes, karaoke. yes, we like cheap feebleminded entertainment). a special thanks to klaus without whom the party would not have been possible.
hannes captured some scenes with his digicam. if i can make it i will put some of the material somewhere on the web.
top right and top left: finally i like my archive... and now i got this wonderful toggle targets button, too!
what it does? well, it toggles the target parameter in every <a> tag in such a way as to either open the refered page in the same or a new window (i have seen this on many weblogs but only remember prolific at the moment...).
heyhey! it's fun to do such kind of tasks and to be so very self-reflecting. duh! internet...
but i do not know what it looks like on a windows machine, yet – please stand by...
forward, back into time: no more style sheets, no more font tags. customize yourself – you've got the power.
and soon to come: the smudge section (for reader's comments)... here it is.
"...the idea behind it is to convert the dreadful banner ad, which we in general consider supercommercial and zeroartistic, into an artform and fill it with beauty and sense" – soulbath.com.
"normally banners are placed inside a website. nfcd [nofrontiere creative department] reversed the expectations and inserted the web into a banner!" – via keys "c" and "y" and then selecting level 5 of the "collection of antibanners" the viennese multimedia grandma nofrontiere shows up with one of her rare web appearances. however, this is cool, very cool.
on saturday i'll have a party at my flat: "have a drink, a morsel, a chat, a pat, a sophisticated time". hopefully loads of wonderful people to be welcomed. monsieur moustache will delight the audience with eurotronic sounds. revel yell!
i even sent out invitations to people i know that won't be able to come since they are too far away from vienna. it's a gesture. i hope they don't mind...
besides i expect many lovely visitors to be here in vienna in the next weeks. will focus on them for the time. and i do not feel so much desire for blogging at the moment, anyway. nada y pues nada.
an easy guide to swedish cursing (with audio examples): i dropped the fucking soap.
both links will be presented tomorrow by mr dünsch on local viennese broadcast tivision's saturday show.
