it’s an exciting week:
today i passed the last exam before the holidays, auditorium just went online,

vienna teng - inland territory

AND vienna teng‘s new album, “inland territory” will finally be released tomorrow in europe. in the US, the release date is april 6, so we’re two months ahead over here. :-)

you can listen to a webstream of the entire album at skopemag.com.
update: unfortunately, the article and stream was removed. vienna teng twittered about it not being intended for the general public.

if i hadn’t been certain to get the album, the first 30 seconds of “the last snowfall” would definitely have won me over.

update #2: the full song “in another life” is available for streaming on vienna’s info page at treibhaus.at.

i’ve mentioned this game before: auditorium is an online puzzle game which features rays of light (“the flow”), music and basic principles of physics.
the full version was released yesterday (it’s cheap!), and the first word that comes to my mind is “addicting”.

here are some screenshots:

my friend chiara is an incredibly talented comic-strip artist.

this drawing of my “bat taxi” was part of a thank-you card for a period of car-pooling (referring to the bat sticker on the back of my car, or to my bat-related activities. or both.).

for the past 7 days, i’ve been cut off from our landline internet connection at home.
tech support says they’re “working on it”.
this sucks!

update 2009-01-16: we’re back. 10 days of suffering are over!
