Opinion: David Lynch on watching movies on mobile phones
The last days we have again got the whole shebang – mainstream media praising the great idea, the movie conglomerates already counting the money (but the writers still on strike), the yay-sayers on the gadgets megasites frolocking and the pilot fish bloggers on their sites joining in with the song…
But wait a minute! What is so great about watching a movie on a cigarette box size display that was originally created to be experienced on a silver screen hundred times bigger with professional sound equipment providing the surroundings…

Earthrace – the last run on its 2007 record attempt (Part 2)
Earlier this year – in May – we had a chance to participate for a few days on the attempt of “Earthrace” to break the UIM world record for circumnavigation with their bio-diesel boat.
(this post a continuation of the post Earthrace – the last run on its 2007 record attempt (Part 1) )
We have (together with another company) sponsored their last leg on their attempt to break the world record during 2007. On their “web site” there is now information that their second run to break the record will commence in March 2008 from Valencia, Spain. Good luck with that…
While a lot could be said about the 4-5 days leg from Port Suez to Valencia we participated – one thing’s for sure – it was quite an experience.
We have not taken many images after heading out into the Mediterranean, but some of the pictures from the Suez Canal came out quite well…

Europe: Skiing season starts with record snow
After a few seasons with very little snow this skiing season in Europe is starting with new records of snow heights.

While the US and Canada the last years where lucky with record snow heights, in Europe many resorts experienced “droughts” to the extend that in Switzerland the last two winters fire warnings had to be issues to prevent forest fires.
Lets hope this year will be different and it looks like it might be.
And people are desperate to go…

Humor: The Japanese Tradition
Who said Japanese people have no sense of humor?
The video series “The Japanese tradition” created by Namikibashi ((Junji Kojima, Kentaro Kobayashi) and the Japan Culture lab is just outstandingly hilarious. And its a mixture of very subtle and strait forward jokes and persiflages. With some of the videos we could not stop laughing – full of great ideas and no respect for anything – sorry Sensei…

Games: Ice-Slide
In line with our “Top 10 time waster games” this online Flash game is just great (and of course a perfect time waster).
It took us quite some “practice” to get beyond 400 points. Try for yourself.
Tip: Ballistic curves and…

Fun: Rabbids around the world
You might have seen the older clips with the Rayman Rabbids – then you will love this new series of trailers/teasers called “Rabbids around the world”.
The little creatures go Sumo fighting to Japan, do a special kind of “Tour the France”, try to get into a game convention in Germany (new clip) and our favorite – play rugby against a team dressed “All Black” (Don’t miss the last seconds in the locker).
Yes, they do the Haka
