The last few years there was pretty much going on in Digital Street Art (compare Graffiti Research Lab).
Wii Spray is another contribution to this art form. Martin Lihs, student of the Bauhaus Universität Weimar, has chosen to design a digital Spraycan for his Diploma thesis. The picture clearly says it all.
Today the final version of Firefox 3.0 has been released.
The Mozilla guys want to break a world record in most downloaded application within 24 hours. So today is the Download Day (actually, it starts at Tuesday, 7pm and ends at Wednesday, 7pm). Help them break the record by downloading an application most of you would download anyway by clicking on the image below!
I just found the GNU manifesto in the internet (With the open-source browser Firefox, btw).
And now I am writing a blog entry about that manifesto with WordPress, also published under the GPL (GNU General Public License). Open Source Software is everywhere, and it’s still growing! Seems like this manifesto written in 1985 really changed the world a bit..

PS: There is also a Mozilla Manifesto.
Have you ever asked yourself “why can’t I just send this ringtone through bluetooth” or “why can’t i synchronize my phone with [whatever addressbook]“? You are not alone! When buying a cellular you are facing two problems: first, in most cases you cannot try before you buy. You may have the chance to take a glance at the device you wish to buy, but thats it. Often you will rely on the oppinion of your friends and colleagues and just buy it in the hope that it will fit your needs.
a friend of mine created a cool sound installation, called “quite quiet”. here is the explaining text:
Quite quiet mouth opens,
streams through the machine and let
perceive yourself else
The mouth operates as sound generator apart the remaining voice apparatus. Eyes shut and mouth wide open. An alien sound spectrum is generated, self-perception might be questioned. The mouth serves as a graphical score to conduct any soundsamples by granulating and eventually chewing them.
