Ich hoffe, dass das mindestens 2/3 so cool ist, wie der Trailer (und das es kein Hoax ist, auf den ich hier hemmungslos abfeier).

Mein hochgeschätzter Berlienna-Mitstreiter Mangara tritt am kommenden Freitag auf. Und zwar im project space wien. Los geht es um 21:00h und der Eintritt ist frei.
Pflichttermin würde ich sagen.

Das ist auch definitiv was für mich.
Die Linien-Animationen gehen in Ordnung, aber nach ein paar Sekunden gibt es ein Pac Man Rennen an der Wand und da fängt es dann auch plötzlich an mir in den Findern zu jucken, um herauszufinden, wie schwer sowas mit vvvv umzusetzen ist. – Nice!
http://www.vimeo.com/6378943Danke an Avin für das Teilen der absurdeste Geschichte des Jahres Jahrzehnts aller Zeiten. Das hier ist ganz, ganz grosses Tennis:
In May 2005, after being diagnosed with clinical depression, Harvey was hospitalised after an alleged suicide attempt.[1] On 31 May 2005, he was readmitted to hospital in a critical condition after falling under the wheels of his Mercedes-Benz motor car, whilst driving.[2] He later claimed that he ran himself over with his own car due to eating too many baked potatoes. He claimed to have eaten almost a dozen baked potatoes and upon feeling sick, decided to drive himself to the hospital. However, as he was backing out of his driveway, he felt the urge to be sick, so he opened his car door and leaned out to vomit. But he fell out of the car and managed to run himself down.

After receiving spam mails on an email address which is exclusively used for communicating with threadless, I wrote the following mail to them:
Hello Threadless, when ordering stuff over the internet I usually use email addresses which carry the name of the shop I order at so I can easily remember which is the right address. At the same time it means that such an address is used exclusively to communicate to this particular shop! This is why I’m quite confused (and annoyed) that today I received spam on the address threadless@xxx.xxx! The title of the mail is “New P.D.F Reader For Windows And Mac” and it is a mail trying to make me download some software. From my point of view this looks very much like you’ve sold my email address – and that would be more than ugly. Unless you have a really good explanation for that one, I’m going to stop buying at your shop immediately – which would be a pitty because I really love the shirts. So c’mon! I’m waiting for an appropriate reaction. Yours quite frustrated, Alex
Like I wrote in the mail, I’m waiting for a reaction and will post any update here. Let’s see what is going to happen.
UPDATE
I received a reaction from Threadless:
Hello Alexander!
Thanks for the information.
Unfortunately it appears that one of our vendors had an incident that allowed our email list to be compromised. We contacted the vendor as soon as we noticed there was a problem so they are aware of the issue and taking steps to fix it. It is an old vendor that we haven’t used in the last 6 months and we are working to have them purge all our records so we don’t encounter this problem again.
We take our privacy policy seriously and would never sell your information to a third party. We are doing everything we can to ensure this won’t happen again. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes you.
Have a wonderful day!
Carlie
Threadless Customer Service
Thank you for shopping at Threadless.com!
To be honest, I’m not completely sure what to think about this. The reaction is ok. They answered promptly, they took my concern serious but at the same time the explanation is not very specific and the question appears why does a third party need my email address? It is not really connected to my payment details, is it?
So their “doing everything” – like Carlie sais – should maybe include not giving customers’ private data into the hand of some third party companies. As a Threadless customer I have enough trust torwards Threadless to give them my data – but I do not know anything a bout any other service they might use – and it seems that there is not really a good reason for establishing any trust.
And the bad thing is: once a mail address is compromised there is no way to stop it so I have to delete it and use threadless2@xxx.xx.
Der Umzug nach Wien rückt näher und langsam wird die Stimmung wehmütiger. Jetzt fangen all die Dinge an, die man zum letzten Mal in der gewohnten Umgebung macht (heute zum Beispiel Mittagessen in der Marheineke Markthalle). Zeit also für ein paar Dinge, die ich definitiv vermissen werde – und alle Exil-Berliner sind herzlich eingeladen, die Auflistung zu vervollständigen.
Also. 10 Dinge, die ich garantiert vermissen werde:

Was für eine coole Idee ist das denn? Ich war mir ja schon länger sicher, dass die BSR kommunikationstechnisch derzeit in guten Händen ist (“We kehr for you”), aber das hier fängt langsam an richtig gut zu werden!
Für nicht Neuköllner: hier gibt es ziemlich viele Leute, die irgendwelche Dinge einfach rausstellen und die von anderen eingesammelt werden. Vieles bleibt aber leider auch einfach stehen.
Dass die BSR sich dieser Geschichte annimmt gefällt mir echt gut, weil sie damit u.a. aussagt: seht her, wir kriegen mit, was in Berlin abgeht, stellen uns drauf ein und unser wichtigster Kunde sind die Bürger dieser Stadt.
100 Punkte.
