You know the old 3.5 inch floppy drives? Rather useless today in the time of
USB sticks, SSD and optical disks. However they can still be used for making
music. Not believable, you think? Then watch the following movie, that shows
how to play the Star Wars Imerpial March melody!

The last day of September is nearing end and quite a lot has happened.
I was able to visit the Oktoberfest 2011, I managed quite a lot tasks at work
and my effort there got honored. The October will also be interesting as I 
am about to celebrate my 33rd birthday and a good friend of mine is visiting.

redesign. the profile page of a user will dramatically change yet all posts will

Why write about a cat? Or even post a video about it. Cats are ordinary pets.
All good arguments and true but this feline is a real special one. This cat
brings her holder to a metro station in Melbourne and waits for her until
the evening. The whole day… and without any trouble. Heart-touching I say!

Just one week ago, the prankster couple had us a good laugh when John has mixed
laxatives into Nikki’s food and drink. She didn’t like it very much and had to stay on the
toilet for a couple of hours. She was so upset that she has sworn to kill John with a knife.
Sounds funny and was meant likewise. Her revenge is bittersweet and hits John hard.

The following video may impressively show that even seagulls are subject
to being fooled easily. So a simple glass wall or window can be a real annoying
barrier for these birds. But you’d better not fool them too much. maybe they
will paint your car and give it some “natural” look…

Remember when I posted about the first SDXC microSD card from Lexar in
June this year? Finally my favourite memory card manufacturer seems to
have done the same and announces these little giant cards as well. At a MSRP
of about 219 US$ / 159 € / 199 CHF these cards are fair calculated.

Today it was somewhat quiet. Nothing special to write about, nothing special
on the web. So I browsed my favourite Prankster couple website for new
pranks and found a new one. This time, John wants Nikki to hit the John for a
couple of hours. And how to better achieve this than with laxatives…

Well today, there are many sports events that are rather strange or new
to us. Yesterday I found this video showing men who seem to have a rather
odd “olympic” discipline: Namely to be the fastest to flush the nasal cavity
with a gallon of water by sucking the water in with the nose, then flush it out.

The mid of this week is now reached. It ain’t over yet but to sweeten
the way thru the day, I give you something to laugh or marvel about.
So enjoy the day, begin it the easy way and make it thru the day with
no frustration or pain. The weather doesn’t look that good at all.

Was the old world record held by an intel core I7 processor overclocked to
6.5 GHz using liquid nitrogen, the new world record is now set up by an
overclocked brandnew AMD Bulldozer 8-core CPU (the 8150FX). The video
attached to this post will show the extreme workload to do.

It seems as if Apple also is being mocked by local comedians. In the following
video, Conan O’Brien, a famous talkmaster, comedian and television host, has
brought up a video on Apple’s recent report that a prototype of the new long
awaited iPhone had been left in a tequila bar in California.

Today, it is 10 years since the attack on the twin towers in New York and the
Pentagon. It was the most horrible situation, the USA had to face. The attack
cost 2977 people their lives. When the planes crashed into the
towers, no one before would have expected anything like that!

How do these three relate to each other, you may ask? Well, today I
stumbled over an interesting video again! But before telling about the
details on this video, the epilogue why that video has been made and
what’s the idea behind. The man who shot the video had a talk with Putin.

That’s what I call talented: This ventriloquist and puppeteer has his puppet
under full control. Like his audience that laughs and claps with the music
going. Today you rarely see such good ventriloquists and pupeteers. I think,
this métier is going to get forgotten about more and more…

…that’s what you would think of if you read these values: 6.4 metres long,
1070 kg heavy and a 70 cm long gorge with many spiky teeth. But having
killed a Buffalo and a fisherman, this big saltwater crocodile can be for sure
considered vicious and being described as a real beast!

I don’t know what’s more disgusting: The fact that a 45kg lightweight
woman is eating 183(!) Chicken Wings (each approx. 30g meat,in total
a whopping 5.5kg!!!) within 12 minutes or the fact that obesities still a
mayor incident in the USA that causes many deaths each year.

Sure… it seems to be a classical fake but it think, it is a good one. So if you
hate waiting at a railroad crossing, then this train might be your dream.
However this being a fake, in Washington D.C. there is a study ongoing for
a public mass transit system that consists of many tiny individual capsules.

Italy’s most active vulcan Etna is active again. The vulcan is situated on Sicily
and with 3.323m over sea level probably also the highest of Europe. The
video shows a very spectacular eruption again. Beautiful to look at but you
don’t want to be there right now if you’re not intended to be grilled…

When you think of glass, you may probably think of a transparent piece
of molten quartz that has been shaped either for drinking or being part
of a window or being a plate for tables and office desks. The following
video shows what you will be probably able to do with it in the future…

Tech news are all about the actual gadgets you can buy in the near future.
But tech news about gadgets that are still future inventions to be yet made,
are rather rare. This one relates to Apple’s most successful smartphone, the
iPhone. A successor will come, but not in this design flavour!

Why on earth would a movie have such a trivial and strange name?
Why would it be released to to the public knowing that it is bad?
At least the name is program. The first weekend, the movie is shown,
the movie has brought in the least amount of watchers and money.

Today I am writing about a new Game I discovered in the PSN store. So
I downloaded the demo to play it for some time and see if I like it. It
took approx 30 minutes of gaming and I decided to spend 15 CHF
for the game as it is really catching and making you play several hours.

Today I found this funny video on youTube where a guy is testing the Apple
Store workers’ patience to the maximum. The 3 Minutes video show 4 different
situations and the reaction is quite interesting. Where one would get a snarly
comment when bringing food or a pet into the shop, at Apple stores all is okay!

This topic has been issued many times on different tv shows, natural science
broadcasts, other media and the like. The problem is, that we cannot deny
the continuous decay of our arctc glaciers as they are reducing in size day
by day. The videos below show in what dimensions the glaciers decay…

This way of hair-cutting is somewhat strange yet amusing to watch. Never
thought that someone would really use this rather unconventional way of
cutting hair. I myself would still prefer a coiffeur who uses scissors instead
of the tools used in the video. But watch and decide for yourself.

On saturday I’ve shown you the largest and smallest stop-motion video. Today
I show you what I discovered and it is really amazing what a Commodore C64
can do in music, 2 guys can do with a camera and tons of LEGO bricks.
The good ol’ times… Have fun!

Today I stumbled over an article in 20 Minutes, showing a volcano on Hawaii.
Being very active the rather flat landside allows a spectacular view. As far as
the article states, there’s no danger for the local citizen. Also airplanes (if they
fly over this area) are not endangered as there’s almost no ash cloud present…

Today I saw an amazing stop-motion video on youtube after 20 Minuten has
announced a new record. Why is it so special, you may ask… Well, it has been
shot from a big pole crane 40m above ground using cell phones. Yep, you
read right, cell phones! (Nokia N8 to be exact). The results are beautiful!

Often seen, a big annoyance for residents of a certain area and flushes
big simoleans into the city’s funds. You might think: “What’s the big
deal with false parking? It brings me to a close spot for shopping, doing
my busines, etc. and if they catch me, I pay a higher parking fee…”

I think most of my readers my remember the times when 3D Games became
available on PC. We all remembered the moments when our expensive
500 DM card have been plugged into our PCs to be able to live 3D games
ourselves. So how has 3D Gaming changed within the past 15 years?

…can be now found in the Fuji Q theme park in in Fujiyoshida,
Yamanashi, Japan. With it’s astonishing 121 degress drop, you’re
