Saugut, saugut, saugut! Hab wirklich ein paar mal laut gelacht, einige sehr einfallsreiche Fotos mit klasse passenden Bildunterschriften dabei. Recht nerdig teilweise, so muss es sein! Wer das Original nicht kennt: http://kimjongillookingatthings.tumblr.com/ [via Interweb3000 @ FB]
// Sugar Ray — Mean Machine
# Mean Machine # music video # Road Rash # Sugar Ray # Weekend
Alright, one more until i am off for the weekend: Sugar Ray’s stone old hit “Mean Machine”, which i just remembered while blogging that Green Machine thing… “Mean Machine” is known from 1998 Playstation game “Road Rash 3D”. Yeah, Baby!

“The Green Machine” is a so called “pep band” from the George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, USA. A pep band, as i just learned from Wikipedia, is a non-marching marching band, that mostly plays at sports events, to cheer up, or “pep up” the crowd.
…and here they are playing “Killing In The Name” by Rage Against The Machine. Let me tell you, i DID cheer!

// Videos of Space Shuttle Discovery’s Final Flight [updated with view from an airplane; updated again with landing, mission highlights and Shattner's Star Trek Theme wakeup call; final update with cool and creepy booster camera views]
# Airplane # Discovery # Flight # Landing # Launch # Liftoff # Mission # Mission accomplished # Mission Details # Mission Highlights # NASA # Neil Monday # Orbit # Space # Space Shuttle # Star Trek Theme # STS-133 # Wakeup Call # William Shattner
Yay, i found several short videos of the launch i missed on the NASA website! I was even able to sneak copies into The Labz, so i can show them to you!
There is another, aproximately 10 minutes long, video on redOrbit, which covers the flight from liftoff to orbiting in one uncut (i guess) sequence. Unfortunately this cannot be embedded, so go over there if you want to see that.
I think the NASA videos are more than sufficient though, as they capture the most important moments, plus they also have some pre-flight documentary with interesting images and facts, which you will also see here… ready?

Damn, i totally missed this! Wanted to follow it and write about and i just forgot… Well, at least everything went well with the lady's final launch. Hope it stays that way during the entire flight. Maybe i'll at least be able to see her return then…

// Jon St. John aka Duke Nukem aka… “Doug Huggem”?!!?
# Duke Nukem # Duke Nukem Forever # Jon St. John # Mega64 # PC Gamer # Voice Recordings
This is beautiful, don’t know how often i watched it… Jon St. John, voice behind Duke Nukem, who’s reappearance we all are so eagerly waiting for (aka “Duke Nukem Forever“), is a very nice guy. Had recently heard him in an interview the PC Gamer Magazine featured in one of their podcasts. Fun to listen to him speaking in his normal voice. Wait, what? He doesn’t sound like this all the time??? Awwwww! But don’t be sad, you can play this video over and over again! I know i did:

Yay, WordPress 3.1 is out! List of changes reads interesting, am really eager to try it out. Yet a bit timid to run the update, will it go wrong? What if i don’t like it? What if it doesn’t like me?
Maybe i should get some sleep first and try tomorrow…

# Audio Stream # Foo Fighters # music video # Rope # Wasting Light
New Foo Fighters tune, right out of the press! Fresh like springtime, get naked and dance! :)
Yeah, i really like “Rope”, has a bit of a different vibe to it… no doubt, classic Foo Fighters style in the chorus, but that other part is… well, different…

// Google Code Project “Hyphenator.js” [updated]
# Code # Franklin M. Liang # Google # Google Code # Hyphenation # JavaScript # JS # LaTeX # OpenOffice # Web # Web Design # Web Development
Some of you people out there who have been here several times probably noticed how i love “text-align: justify”, and maybe you hate it. I know of the reasons to hate it, and every “good” web designer would tell you not to use it. Still, i said “the heck with it” and used it, simply because it looks nicer. Form over function, evilest thing to do…

- 10 Great Google Font Combinations You Can Copy | Design Shack
Great article about sensible usage of Google Fonts, which i actually had not used, until now. Inspired by this i tried out some of the suggested combinations and am stuck now with "Arvo" & "PT Sans". We'll see how it works out in the long run, but right now i am pretty much in love with the new look of my blog!

Actually didn't know a lot of that stuff… for example that people used to have bigger brains way back in time, or that the we-only-use-10%-of-our-brains myth is, well, just a myth. And: Women do not come from Venus!

- ‘Uncle Leo’ From Seinfeld — Len Lesser Dead at 88 | TMZ.com
I can't believe Uncle Leo died! Though I always hated how he was grabbing my arm when he talked to me, guessingly because so many people had left in the middle of his conversation, I will miss him. Wonder if he still had that broken watch I threw away, because it never worked…
- Make Your Old PC Games Look Brand New | Kotaku
Never heard of the "ENBSeries" mods before. Seems there is this russian guy adding effects to older games, to make them look nicer. Haven't tried it yet, but will definately give GTA IV a shot. There's a video of that game, modded, and it looks fantastic.

Just listening to Moloko’s “I am not a Doctor” album. Still amazed how far ahead of it’s time this was. Hell, it still sounds fresher than a lot of stuff coming out nowadays. Let’s take a trip, Ladies & Gentlemen, to the year of 1998…

- Busting the 8-Hour Sleep Myth: Why You Should Wake Up in the Night | Biphasic Sleeping | Insomnia & the Science of Sleep | LiveScience
This is very interesting: People back in time used to often wake up in the middle of the night, do stuff and then go back to sleep. Nowadays this is often called "Insomnia", though it is nothing but a very natural routine. To me this is another proof that we think too much about whether what we do and what we are is right or wrong, in terms of other people's opinions, instead of trusting our very own body and mind to just tell us what to do.

Bei der Gelegenheit schaue ich mir auch gleich noch eine interessant anmutende Ausstellung in deren Hallen an, und zwar “Kosmische Malerei, 97. Ausstellung, 15. Januar bis 13. März 2011″.

This is too good, seriously. I don’t even know how to tell you about it, you just have to play it for yourself. Only this much: It is a real shooter, playable and all, you actually shoot stuff. But: It is very meta… and funny. Mark my words, you will LAWL! At least i did.
