Muji Miniature Paris Pride

I just wanted to show you what a nice toy I bought at Muji's: A simplified wooden miniature version of Paris. Soon, I will buy the London package in order to mix both cities. However, I don't like their interpretation of the Milennium Wheel (I will show it, then). "Muji", as I inquired, by the way means "good things without a logo"

Post #101: Missed Post #100

I just noticed that I have missed to announce the 100th post of this blog. So this blog has now officially >100 posts, which, on ebay, would be awarded with a turquoise star.

Anyways, since this blog has a big Simpsons fan component to it: I discovered that on July 27, 2007, a Simpsons movie will come out. Who would've thought? The, honestly not very revealing, teaser can be found here in the Apple trailer database.

Xdrive Virtual Hard Disk

Hi guys n' gals, guns n' roses,

I discovered something interesting on the web:
xdrive, a free web-based hard disk on which you can store up to 5GB of data.

The best thing: you can easily share your files with others. To be precise, sharing files n' folders with other xdrive users is very handy (you can decide whether they are allowed to download, upload, edit, delete, etc. files) and limitless. Non-xdrive users can download shared files for up to 7 days.
So I can put some interesting documents or photos or projects or anything on my virtual hard disk, and you can access them (if you're member).

It has a lot of gadgets to automatically back-up folders or iTunes playlists or whatever, I haven't tried yet.
It works fine with WinXP and Firefox and it's supposed to do so also with OS X and Safari, but I haven't tested it.

Who's in(terested)?

Frankreich Allemagne -- Karambolage

There is a great TV show on arte, the French-German collaboration channel, called Karambolage. It's on every Sunday and it contains 15 minutes of documentary splits on cultural differences (sometimes indifferences) between the German and the French, entre la France et l'Allemagne. With a lot of esprit, the well-reported stories from everyday life depict the special relationship between France and Germany in a very striking manner.
You can watch the last four shows online, either dubbed in French or dubbed in German.
--
Watch for example the emission from October 1 and enjoy the very interesting attempt to give the French an understanding of the debatable German "Du bist Deutschland" campaign from winter 2005.

Post #98: Trois Liens (L'Un De Mo)

Just three links, I wanted to feature :
1) mamagoto from Tokyo has a new website, presenting her nice design and illustration work.
2) among them the website of the weltraumquartett, Stanislav Lom's Stuttgart-based breakbeat/electronica combo (including session recordings)
3) And, a link by Mo, there are two really nice ads for a Sony colorTV. They, including their making-ofs, can be watched here : Bouncy Balls San Francisco and Paint Fireworks Glasgow (watch your bandwidth).

I Updated the SundaySoothinMusic Playlist

Well, I mainly linked the respective myspace.com or official pages, where you can listen to more tunes from the artists. However, noteworthy are the links to more info on Bilitis and Coffy, as well as the page by Les Nubians, where you can listen to the original version of Makeda.

Jerry Blossom Guestmix "SundaySoothinMusic"

I'd like to announce once more the nice and growing webradioshow that goes by the cosy name of sonntagnachmittag ("sunday afternoon", I already told you about it a while ago), and which is mainly based in Trier, Germany.
It was my honor to make a guestmix for the guys. So from today on and for the next couple of weeks or so you can listen to Jerry Blossom's Guestmix "SundaySoothinMusic", a diverse cut throughout the genres: 80 minutes streaming 24/7, going from Funk to Minimal, from Softporn Soundtracks to NuJazz, and from HipHop to Nirvana.
Ah yeah... and the best thing is: I had to talk in-between for legal matters...
