When I found this site, my eyes became wet: c64.com offers all (and I really mean *all*) C64 games I have ever played – and I played lots of them. You can download every single one of them there *for free*. Remember „vermeer“, or may favourite game „kennedy approach“? So, the first thing I did was to find a suitable emulator. And there is one very good for mac osx, it´s called „frodo“. It is very good and stable, though it had problems to realize my keyboard as a „joystick“. But I wanted the full experience: Since I´ve a modchipped Xbox (xecuter 2) with a build in 60gb HD and running linux-ftp server, I got FrodoX – a Frodo port to the Xbox – and it really kicks ass…It recognizes the gamepads as joystick devices, and if you ever need keyboard support for any game , you can choose letters from a quicklist. I´m back in the good ol´days! But know what: Somehow I had in my mind, that the graphics of the games were much better – it´s a case of childish phantasie…;-)

Well, how cool is this:

:I´m watching movie trailers – STREAMING… This is the new Motorola E 1000 UMTS – and it really rocks! I don´t like the skin of the Operating System – it´s a little bit too stylie, and therefore not very comfortable to use. But the Quality of the screen is: WOW! You can choose to watch your movies *fullscreen* – just turn the device 90 degrees. The speed of UMTS is really outstanding – though respond rates are very low (every site-change takes a lot of time – when you are on a site navigation and loading of the movies and pictures etc. is *very* fast) The protal of Vodafone is still at the beginning – and prices are exorbitant – do you want to watch a 0.50 min stream of a Bundesliga-match? It´s 0,49 EUR (about 300k)! But time will bring lower rates, I´m sure. All in all, this mobile device is really cool (even video-phoning is possible – just switch between the two installed cameras 😉 ) I´m really looking forward to the times UMTS will be cheaper…

mmhh…the famous german news portal spiegel.de seems to be offline…wow, I´ve never expected such thing to happen there…(Mo, 041511, 17:40 CET)

Now, this is really cool: gnump3d  is an open source streaming server. It automatically detects all the media on your disk, and serves it as mp3-stream on Port 8888 . Since I´ve got a flatrate, I like to have all my music on my linux box at home, serving it for me, so that I can listen to it everywhere I have a internet connection. The quality is brilliant: you even can select between different playlists, or make your own. When you give user/pass to your friend, they are able to listen to your music. (This all somehow reminds me of last.fm 😉

It somehow is spreading through the community, that streaming (mobile) musicclips  will be a  great thing. We are working on this   for quite a long time – as we are delivering our content on Flash – Basis, we currently have the problem, that "Flash-Lite 1.1" is of a Flash-4 Player niveau, and not capable of all our streaming features. We instantly hope that Macromedia will soon upgrade the Lite Version. 

…and you have´nt missed one playmate? Test it and get all oh them from ´60 to ´00

What a cool and astouning site: 10×10 gives you a view on the latest news of the 100 most imtortant news sources. And even from a designer´s point of view, they have done a great job. There are 100 photos taken from the sources article, and they are used as a menu.

Of course there had to be some conspiracy theories after the election, and have to say, that I´m quite fascinated of this

one: these are the statistics of the voting machines in florida. As you see, there have been more registrated democrats than republicans, and many of them voted bush? Ehm, excuse me: where these machines manipulated? (these are the figures the graphs are based on). (from David Weinberger)

If you use Apple Mail as your standard Mail-App here is a useful tool, to show you widget-like notifications on your screen when you´ve got new mail- Very nice and cool.
