A few unimportant thoughts on Sunday night

2008-07-27


Quote of the evening

“Of course we play an encore.”
 

Klaus Doldinger at tonight’s great (and free) open air concert with Passport in Pfaffenhofen. The nearly 2 hours seemed rather short, somehow…

The best(?) place for a mosquito

Directly on the notebook screen where you can easily see and kill it.

Compact and light but needs getting used to

…is such a EeePC 900 on which I’m writing this now – with < > as secondary function on the Y key (which is on German keyboards where the Z is on Englisch ones) and the number keys moved to the left…

If needed, another image and more hints will follow later…

Pierre hat’s natürlich gleich erraten: “Money For Nothing” von den Dire Straits mit den Zeilen

Maybe get a blister on your thumb

Horribly… odd and funny

2008-07-15

Dr. Horrible (vertical) Joss Whedon – yes, that Joss Whedon of Buffy and Firefly fame – just released the first of three acts of his low-budget interim project (during the writers’ strike in Hollywood), a supervillain musical called „Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog“ online.

That musical is, of course, meant anything but serious and is poking fun at quite a lot – and that’s not the only reason why you can’t actually compare it to “Once More With Feeling”, the Buffy musical episode – and worth a look at any rate! (Even though you may wonder at the beginning whether it will go on like that the entire time.)

So watch it quickly, for Dr. Horrible is scheduled to disappear again on Sunday night already (and be available for money later on), after act II and III are released on July 17 and 19, respectively.
