iPhone

Hype hin oder her.

Es sieht einfach super schick aus und ich beobachte den ganzen Rummel schon ne Weile. Es sah und sieht immer noch ziemlich nach "genau dem" Mobiletelefon aus das ich selbst bauen würde (abgesehen von dem telepatischen Interface, den 15'' Bildschirm, das es Krebs heilen kann, ...).

Ich hatte das Ding sogar durch glückliche Umstände mal in der Hand und es gibt ein Look and Feel, wie tante und ich schonmal über die PSP gesagt haben, das sehr sehr Wertig ist. Webbrowsen ist echt der Hammer mit dem Ding (Wi-Fi Zugangn vorrausgesetzt).

Jetzt wo die ersten "reviews" raus sind ( [www.engadget.com], [www.nytimes.com] , [online.wsj.com] ) wird's natürlich noch interessanter.

Einige Dinge die mir beim lesen als erstes "sauer" aufgestossen sind, keine mp3s als Klingeltöne, keine MMS, keine Video aufzeichnungen, kein Adobe support für den Webbrowser.

Trotzdem steht es noch immer ziemlich hoch auf der "das will ich haben" Liste, allerdings sind +500$ definitiv zu viel. Mal sehen wie sich das ganze weiter entwickelt.

Some more martial art videos

Raymond Daniels - Wade Taylor

He is braggin around, but he is really good. Some very nice moves :).
Here he is again:


And another one of him, with an awesome double jump kick.

Kendo vs Escrima

Yesterday I got directed toward some Kendo vs. Escrima videos:




They are very intersting to watch and among the comments there is one which I think in general should stand out to all "cross training":

zvyej: who won?
zukuru: on experience ? .. I think both - the purpose is less to win than test the skills against non expexted and non trained situations.

As I mentioned in the discussion yesterday, both fighters tend to fight according to their tournament rule set, which naturally to the safety of the combatants, includes forbidden moves.

So the common "brute" argument is "with real weapons it would like ...". Well as nobody really wants to test that out with real swords there is still an other option to "see" if one combatant is superior to the other, which in the end still says nothing about the superiority of the different styles: paint and colored markers on white clothes/armor.

An example of how it this works, is using text markers/high lighters eg. in a knife defense/offense training. Each cut leaves a marking on your arms and cloths and you can very easily see that if you ever get into a fight and sobody draws a knife that it's much wiser to run rather than stay and fight. As one trainer during a knife defense workship once said, knife defense is not to learn not to get cut but to be able to decided where you get cut.

Looking further zukurus other videos are also very interesting:

Working on saturday

Well, not really.

More like working the cocktail bar and the buffet on cost of my company.

Let's see how I feel tomorrow ;)

Seiten die einem sagen wer man ist

TT - die Zweite hat mich dann doch neugierig gemacht und ich hab mir das nochmal genauer angeschaut.

Man kann es auch "fishing for compliments" nennen, so man denn mit seinem Ergebnis zu frieden ist:

Also:
EPLS - MACHER - Gehört zur Gruppe der Aktionisten

►Agiert Extrovertiert
►Denkt Praktisch
►Entscheidet Logisch
►Lebt Spontan

Witzig ist: "EPLS suchen wie Kampfsportkünstler Chackie Chan körperliche Herausforderungen ... " ;)

Allerdings muss ich sagen sind die "prominenten Beispiele" weniger schmeichelhaft, halte ich den grossteil der Leute die dort aufgeführt werden eher für Wichtigtuer und Grossmäuler.

Order of the stick

Yepp, that's the comic I'm reading regulary - apart from the + 40 Marvel Comics I just got.

Anyway: Greenhilt dead!?! Miko dead!?!

What's going to be next?

Knowledge is power

Some might remember this:

My graphic card just broke down ...

Meh ...

Well, I found out what it was.

My webcam seems to cause problems with my sound and with my video card.

It have to reinstall my graphics drivers after I just updated my webcam stuff.

Eve ....

I don't want to overestimate the thing and I'm not one of those witchhunters like at the eve o site but the current disbelieve that in CCP to do honest buisness is a bit straining.

Yes it seem they don't have a competent PR person to handle parts of the affairs but and I really got a tired of the constant tinfoil hattery at eve-o.

Anyway it seems like CCP is again taking a step into a very unique direction:

In a Virtual Universe, the Politics Turn Real

- update: this articel is not longer available :(
rather take this: Bericht: Eve Online erhält demokratische Wahlen

In short, they want to have player elections to vote for a group of players to audit CCPs operations.

Now take that "2nd Life hype"! ;) not just a barren empty pr0n deluded 3D chatroom.

Although admirable good intentions, this might lead to a whole set of new problems but the initial idea is a very honorable one, but I have some serious doubts.

So voting ? We already know how good votings in the "l33t" internet is going to work, add in the already highly metagaming eve community with their tinfoil hats and people running multiple accounts, you just see the witchhunters call in "cheaters" since they doubt the outcome of the election to be fair.

As this is not yet "official" announced by CCP we have to wait if and how they want to realize this.

Ketchup

This mighe be a little in a-propriate, but it is really funny:

Don't know what original language it is, but the subs are german, I guess it might be swedish or dänish ?Anyway even without understanding the language, I guess you ll understand the "point" .

So, if you're "mature" enough, have a look

Which is known probably ;).
So rather than telling how good is, I let this video speak for itself which I found ( http://myeve.eve-online.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=330619 ).

Hi
We are 2 pretty new players in the EVE-Universe. And besides losing our ships in low sec space we decided to take a short break and make a movie of our first impression of EVE.

Have fun and enjoy!
