a tornado and his toy train

roundcubicle — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 21:00:21 +0000

Well, for those of you who instinctively and validly asume that big, heavy trains are nothing to mess with, I can assure you, that is still the case. But actually there are forces mother nature has ready, wich are perfectly capable of playing with these trains like little plastic toys. In the following vid you’ll see a mighty american cargo train moving along somewhere in the middle of nowhere of Illinois, if I remember correctly, as suddenly within seconds the sky is getting grey and foggy, the surveillance cam gets pretty wet, trees are bending in the background and things get slightly out of control…

Is this tornado bitching out or what! – and that propane-waggon coming closer and closer afterwards is pretty intimidating!

human creativity 2.0

Ok, before this blog goes off to blogheaven or -hell, I’d like to bring you some cool stuff I found this morning over at crunchgear. A japanese band called ‘Sour’ – never heard of them before; actually I think I don’t know even one japanese band at all – has made a musicvideo entirely cut together of an orchastrated sequence of fan-webcam-action – pretty amazing stuff. It must have been a hell of job to edit this piece of art – but watch for your self…

On top of that, I found another interestig musical endevour in the comments section of the aforementioned crunchgear post. As I’m not a music expert, I can’t explain the stunt and so I won’t even try to bug you with unknowingness. Just enjoy it here.

Can I…

Live Blogging HSV

Bundesliga – Day 32

Currently I´m watching the match between HSV and Vfl Bochum and decided to live blog it.

HSV goes ahead with a fantastic goal by Paolo Guerrero in minute 15.

The english commentator has his funny day:

“He was so late. He wouldn´t have arrived in the second half.” (Following a foul from D. Klimowicz where the ball was already miles away. )

“Hamburg´s in the lead but Bochum are tough fighters. They know how it works at the other side of the table.” (Analyzing the match properly. )

Ivica Olic scored the second goal for Hamburg after a corner kick by Dennis Aogo.

Halftime. Good game by HSV. They are willing to take their last chance and secure tickets for next season´s Europa League.

2nd half just started. No substitutions on Hamburg´s side.

“Demo” sucks by the way. Still atdhe is doing a good job today.

“Guerrero. Very brazilian.” (After a nice dribbling by Paolo.)

Nice freekick by Aogo on the target. Saved. Aogo with a very good match today.

GOOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLL!!! Ivica Olic scoring his second goal with a hammer bringing HSV 3-0 ahead.

Paolo Guerrero is out being substituted by Mladen Petric. And Petric immediately shows his skills with a good header on our own goal.

Dennis Aogo is really good on position 6 replacing Jarolim.

Did Bochum just score a goal. No no. I just had a hallucination.

Troche is in replacing Albert Streit.

Timothy Atouba out – Jonathan Pitroipa in.

One of Bochum´s players just got a yellow card for “wise cracking with the referee”.

“Ivica Olic. He can run all day.” (Nice one.)

HSV won 3-0 over Vfl Bochum. We´re back on track.

Later.

R.I.H.

HSV-FREE ZONE (general b.o.)

roundcubicle — Thu, 07 May 2009 20:54:34 +0000

From now on till the end of the season I decalre this a HSV-free zone. If ANYONE tries to post anything only remotely related to the HSV or Pussy Bremen, I will rip it apart in tiny little pieces and haunt the author right into his already shitty dreams – I hope I made my point clear. Trust me, you don’t wanna mess with me at this point, as long as you’r not up for an ugly dance with me.

Boat That Rocked

boedpoed — Thu, 07 May 2009 15:46:50 +0000

We rarely advise anybody to head over to the cinema. Nowadays cinema´s at home as you all know. But today I´d like to recommend you a great flick: The Boat That Rocked. Funny as hell with an uncomparable cast including Nick Frost, Philip Seymour Hoffman and many more.

What makes the movie even more special is the soundtrack. It comes as a 2CD package with a bunch of songs all from the 60s and 70s (except one tune from Duffy) and is very well put together. Unfortunately there´s no vinyl version.

Later.

mobile computing on steroids

roundcubicle — Tue, 05 May 2009 06:53:10 +0000

this morning I bring you something completely off topic, but as I assume that you wouldn’t read this article if you weren’t at least a bit of a mobile computing aficionado, I do it anyway. remember always complaining about start-up times with your xp- or vista-machine and always craving for a new faster one – forget about all that shit! now u can put your 3-4 years old notebook on steroids, speeding things up in no time. a very nasty bottle neck of computing are the read/write speeds of your harddrive. your superfast dual core heart can only go as fast as your harddrive supplies it with data, to cut it short – every one knew that before it has been an open secret that you can improve speeds by changing from a ordinary HDD to a quality SSD, but up till now manufacturers of SSDs have focused on the transfer speeds of big files data blocks (out of marketing reasons? like mega-pixel-race?) neglecting the ones for really small blocks – but that’s were the speed hides as it seems. now RUNCORE a manufacturer of SSDs has made official a super fast SSD tackling that problem with mind blowing results. jkk of jkkmobile shows us the astonishing difference this makes. remember he tests the new SSD on a really slow netbook with a creeping atom heart and an even worse chipset with actually almost no graphic power in comparison to ordinary notebooks. To put the results into a punch line in the spirit of this blog: in comparison to the SSD shown in the vid after the break, all the other HDDs and SSDs are totally p.o.ing Lean back and enjoy the show….

I think it’s time to remove the dust from your old laptop, decaying somewhere in the basement

BREAKING NEWS!!! media flu kills journalistic reason and responsibility

roundcubicle — Sun, 03 May 2009 11:51:00 +0000

we have several reports from serious sources, that a machiavelistic virus, a.k.a. media flu is spreading around the allready decaying body of journalists arround the planet, killing their usually naturaly given reason and responsibility within their profession – or waht’s barely left of it. important issues of this planet seem to be in the hands of journalistic zombies from now on and no reliable remedy is at hand right now to put a hold to it. a handfull of experts in the blogosphere are working their asses of to find an effective medication to stop that viral madness but right now the only thing the attentive citizen can do, is to protect him self the best he can from jouranlistic contributions from these zombies by staying away from main media publications until a solution is found by our best and finest. there are reports that a handfull of these zombies were cought and put in to quarantine to cure them with some newley developed remedies – the effects seem promising – but we also allready had some casualties so please be aware and stay away of journalistic concoction that shows symptoms of ‘lack of knowledge’ and ‘applied reason’ to prevent continued spreading.

…oh, and the swine flu. yeah right! I think this graph shows it all.
