Sigur Rós – Heima

March 9th, 2008

Wow, I just found out that Sigur Rós have published their full film Heima at youtube.com for free. If you have one and a half hours to spare, you should see it, it’s very impressive.

It combines the music of Sigur Rós with a lot of impressive images of their homeland Iceland and from concerts they gave after travelling around the world.

Interesting Links #5

February 6th, 2008

Some more I’ve stumbled upon in the last view weeks… Haha, sorry about this.

http://toda.com/ which is about design and architecture and all that.
http://www.varywell.com/ which has a nice navigation.
http://www.mariolombardo.com/ who likes to do stuff with his hands.

Oh, and there is a competition going on at Slanted. So if you are into typography and like to do some fancy sh*t, that’s the place.

Update: Heavy Backpack (the site you need to know if you’re a designer, you know…)  are running a link drive (I didn’t know what that was before, but anyway…). So I just want to mention how very cool and necessary they are and that everybody should have a look.

Who needs MySpace?

January 31st, 2008

I often asked myself in the past – as I’m sure have many many web designers – how such an ugly platform such as MySpace can have such a big success. Is it because it’s ugly? Is it because it’s easy to use? Is it because everybody does it?

Well, yes, some of all of that. But hey, wait a minute. Isn’t this Web 2.0? What about the wisdom of the masses. OK, or rather the taste of the masses :-)

I was happy to see that the first subversive pages are appearing here and there, like this one (news pilfered from de-bug.de).

I’m going to look for many more account which do something like this…

Dorky Relaunch

January 28th, 2008

Finally, it’s here… Another Dorky Relaunch. I don’t know how many changes this homepage had in recent years. I guess it’s now version 15 or something like that.

I did some things to make the updates on this site easier, probably something you won’t see. What you will see however is the all new blog, in which I will try to post regularly. A new contact section will follow in the next weeks.

Hope you’ll enjoy. How long has it been since the last relaunch? Weeks, it feels…

7 minutes to spare…

November 22nd, 2007

… and you really, really, really don’t know what to do? Well, let’s see how many CSS properties you can name.

This is how I did in this quiz:

61

Where did that time come from???

GeisterStunden

November 9th, 2007

Ist schon etwas her, seitdem ich zuletzt einen Eintrag im Blog hinterlassen habe, aber dafür lohnt es sich diesmal umso mehr…

Am 23. November findet in Marburg die Nacht der Geisteswissenschaften statt, die sogenannten GeisterStunden. Ich werden dabei sein… Unser Team von der Uni Marburg hat einen Stand im Hörsaalgebäude. Es gibt so viele Programmpunkte, dass ich gar nicht alles aufzählen kann, aber es lohnt sich allemal, vorbei zu schauen.

Das Programm der GeisterStunden

Der Virtual Linguistics Campus, das Virtual Center for Teacher Training und der LET-Vokabeltrainer.

Two things

May 23rd, 2007

Ok, two things:

For those of you interested and/or living in Marburg, come to the Uni (PhilFak) on June 2 to get an insight what we’re doing here at the Tag der Sprachen.

The other thing is that I have to get rid of some wows right now: WOW!, WOW!!, and WOW!!!

Thank you.

ß

May 15th, 2007

Hey, I always thought it is strange that such a letter doesn’t exist: An ISO workgroup suggested to create a capitalized version of ß because there isn’t one. Well, obviously no one thought of that…

Check out the suggestions for such a letter in the typeFORUM and the report on sinographie.de, if you get to it some time…

Improved slideshows at Flickr

May 8th, 2007

Hey, I just found out that my favourite web application Flickr has improved its screenshow function. And by “improved” I mean IMPROVED! Full screen, on black, super functionality. I love it.

See for yourself by looking at one of my sets there.
