Ok, it’s repost day, but this one was just too good to pass up and it is actually marks the birth of an idea that Patrick and I have been talking about for a while. Now, this doesn’t make any sense whatsoever, but it’d be a fun project for my Mac Color Classic: The Mac SE/30 G4 Continue reading Wolf in sheep’s clothing

A foreign film recommendation
Der Krieger und die Kaiserin is a fantastic contemporary German movie, directed by Tom Tykwer (Lola rennt), featuring the talented Franka Potente, as well as a great performance by Benno Fürmann. Both of them can also be seen in the bone-chilling thriller Anatomie. If you like this kind of recommendation, please let me know. I like foreign films and I’d be happy to post links to whatever I watched and liked.

Bodyworlds (Körperwelten) to come to the Science Museum
The most controversial exhibit of the year will definitely be the Bodyworlds exhibit. Bound to be in the St. Paul Science Museum for the summer, it will surely raise some eyebrows and stimulate conversation. I was fortunate enough to catch this amazing display of human anatomy in Mannheim, Germany. I would consider it to be a life changing experience. Tickets supposedly go on sale early February and if it is anything like Germany, get ready for some serious waiting in line. But who knows, maybe the Midwest thinks very differently about this. IMHO, you don’t have to be a geek to appreciate this one. See you at the Science Museum – anybody know a good babysitter? ;)
iChat video chat kaput in OS X 10.4.4
All Mac Users got really excited when Apple introduced the encrypted iChats under OS X 10.4.4. Turns out, video chats are not too excited about this feature. Actually, they don’t even work at all – at least from what Grant and I can tell. Please note, this only occurs when being used between encrypted parties (on .Mac for example). Turn the security feature off (and restart the app, is this Windows or what?) and voilà , video chats are online again. Just in case you cared… Happy Unsecure Video Chats!
The Music-Streaming Dilemma
This post is in response to an entry on Tim Erlin’s blog
I have actually talked to MPR as well as a German Public Radio station called ‘Einslive’ that I like about streaming formats. MPR used to offer an XMMS/iTunes compatible stream as well as Real and Windows Media. For now they eliminated all other formats except for their Continue reading The Music-Streaming Dilemma
The Joy of Tech
I noticed that some of you are not familiar with The Joy of Tech, yet. I enjoy their comics on a regular basis and would recommend you take a look. Here are a couple of links to my most recent favorites: Macworld 2006 – Macbook Pro? – IntelInside

Let’s make this thing public
Geeks,
Even though we are still working on some details of the blog, I’d like to propose to go public (meaning inviting the rest of the mailing list). It seems that we are already making good use of it, and therefore a broader audience would be wonderful. Any objections? Michael, do you still have the mailing list?
