Whenever someone sets an initiative to kick Internet Explorers butt, I’m more than happy to help out - that obviously is the reason for this entry. Download Day 2008 has a mission in mind, namely setting a Guiness World Record in the most downloaded software in 24 hours. Given that there is no such entry, Firefox will get one anyway, but, as I said in the beginning, let’s kick Internet Explorer’s butt. Firefox 3 has a promising set of features (in terms of security, user interface and stability) and will most likely be my #1 choice on Windows PCs.

I highly recommend this movie. I might even pick it up and talk about racism, it just doesn’t feel right now… Maybe more time has to pass, since in high school we were talking about it too much. Way too much. Anyway, here my favorite quote that is also featured in the background of the movie trailer.

It’s the sense of touch. In any real city, you walk, you know? You brush past people, people bump into you. In L.A., nobody touches you. We’re always behind this metal and glass. I think we miss that touch so much, that we crash into each other, just so we can feel something. (Graham in Crash)

Who Needs Love? Who needs the disappointment of a telephone call? NOT I! (Und à prospos LOVE.)
Woooow. Einfach ein wahnsinnig guter Song. Lyrics bitte sehr. Und wer auf weiterlesen klickt, bekommt das Lied von Youtube in einer Vollage. (Was ist eine Vollage, ein soebene kreiertes Wortspiel, dass Video und Collage vereint — und bitte, nicht mal Urban Dictionary schlägt eine perverse sinnvolle Beschreibung vor.)
