… that is, Vienna is no (second Cór-)doba (where Austria kicked Germany out of the World Cup 1978). 
Links of the Week (2008/24)
- Crazy stuff during the football Euro 2008 (German): Some use homeopathy and tarot cards
- Sapere aude (German) proves the statement “You owe me 100 Euro” the way some folks want to prove the existence of god.
- The Surrealist Compliment Generator (via Nerdcore) – e.g. „Fast blinking reveals the true visage of time pieces hidden within your eyes“ or „Your tears evoke a taste as memorable as honey.“
Edges and corners
I know, the design that the ZDF is using for time and score display during football broadcasts isn’t new – if I remember correctly, they introduced it for the World Cup 2006 –, but I got to get that off my chest now:
I don’t mind rounding sharp corners to get a more pleasing look, but I think especially this shape with the overtime is rather dilettantish and unaesthetic:
In the top left corner, the right angle is rounded with a small radius, on the right hand side there’s a large curve with a slanted edge, and the overtime has simply one corner cut off. I really think they could have made that in a more consistent way; I somehow don’t understand who could have come up with this combination and actually get it on air… or what do you think?
Loading ...PS: Congratulations to Austria for tying the score, but you’re gonna lose on Monday! 
(Almost) no toot-toooot
There seem to be only few Croatians around here, especially those willing to drive and honk around. So just for the sake of completeness:
If quantity and “quality” of their driving around and honking was to decide, the Euro 2008’s final would be Turkey – Germany…
