never clean your car’s windshield while driving closely by a pedestrian.
when i learned this lesson a few days ago, i was jogging along the side of the road.

i’ve just made a comprehensive update to my latest time-lapse project page.
here’s the link:
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy has a few things to say on the subject of towels.
A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. …
… Partly it has great practical value - you can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakfrafoon; use it to sail a mini-raft down the slow heavy river Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (a mindboggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can’t see it, it can’t see you - daft as a brush, but very very ravenous); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.
From: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Douglas Adams
considering that douglas adams had the idea for the book in innsbruck, it’s a must for his austrian fans to pay tribute…
(i almost missed it. thanks to matt for reminding me.)
just a preview, here are two photos of my friends’ weddings in the past weeks.
(slightly belated) congratulations to the newlyweds, nadja & robert and margret & herbert.

i think this is about the time when everybody else is growing up. ;-)
i think the youtube title describes it better than any other combination of words: it really is a “creepy-ass noodle commercial”.
looking for a piece of information, just misread “read episode recap” for “read episode crap”.
i guess the current attitude does have a big impact on ones perception (especially things like freudian slips). i also guess i should call it a day.
it’s such a fine day (now that the exam is over), i thought i’d share a revised version of my childhood memories:
i’m not sure how popular biene maja (maya the bee) is/was in the english-speaking parts of the world, or if you know the show at all. it was relatively popular in my kindergarten era…
