Update: Thanks to Henrik for noticing that the title of the blog entry was ‘….2007’ and not ‘…2008’ as it should be.. Shame on me. I was never much into New Year resolutions, often they sounded as bad excuses for delaying something you already could get started with, such as “In 2008 I’m going to […]
Jokes: Prison Vs Work
I just saw following Prison Vs Work jokes over at jDonuts and just had to mention it. To mention just one of them: IN PRISON…you must deal with sadistic wardens. AT WORK…they are called managers The jokes are all a bit too true and that’s a bit scary but I will at any time choose […]
Monitors on My Mind, I need a Square Monitor

Johnny Cash and Wet Trailer
In mid October I saw the trailer/teaser for the upcoming game Wet (Sierra Entertainment, Artificial Mind); what made this trailer stand out compared to other game trailers was not that it features a good looking woman or that it was a violent trailer. Nope, seen that too often now, what made it stand out for […]
Amazon and impressive $0.01 discount on iPod touch
I guess that everybody would like to get the best price when they buy an iPod touch; often you don’t find any special offers as Apple controls the prices. Sure we had a case recently with a newly opened store here in Switzerland where they were offering a 10% discount on all items in their […]
