I joined 2 years ago today!

To mark the occasion I am giving away two five power points each to the first two members to promote anything they deem worthy out of my personal queue!

Choose wisely!

Cheers,

Our little one getting a serious beat going with his toys on the living room table:

Hope all of you out there in Siftland and beyond have a great rest of 2008 and an even better 2009!

To celebrate I made a crazy little clip with my laptop cam and the mirror effect. Enjoy!

Hey folks,

Starting today, YouTube Germany has given me the opportunity to take over their frontpage as a guest editor for a few days and I have put up a clip, along with a few recommendations.

Click on the image to check it out!

Here is the playlist with my recommended clips
(some in german, some work without language, feel free to sift them!)

 

Fröhliche Weihnachten and Merry X-Mas!

This was shot by a colleague of mine and another colleague supplied the music. I did not want to submit it to avoid self linking, so I am posting it here. The clip consists of thousands of amazing long exposure stillframes of a little monitor wandering through berlin at night. Very worth to check out the original in HD over at vimeo. Enjoy!

After many many years of studying with Origami Guru Peipurr Folldah in a monastery in the Harz mountains of Germany, I am finally ready to show off some of my acquired skills:

 

There are many more out there, watch some other masters at work here: Instant Origami

Jumpradio.de has just put up the second of my interviews I did with them.

This time it was about the Office Lip Dub we did over a year ago. Listen to the whole thing here (german), and of course check out the Office Lip Dub that this is about, if you haven´t yet.

Hey boys and girls,

just stumbled across the mixwit.com site and made a mixtape for you all to enjoy.

I collected a whole bunch of songs of one artist vs. the other which should make for an interesting listening experience. Enjoy! 

Admit it! You too thought of trying to spin on an escalator handrail after seeing
this clip.
Well same here, so I did it today after discovering the perfect escalator over at the Gesundbrunnencenter in Berlin.
Here is the result:

Not a new idea, but I just recently found out that there is a whole site dedicated to the art of Sleeve Faces (and other body parts...)

Check them out here: www.sleeveface.com 

So of course I had to do one too:!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Sorry for the grainy quality, I used my Photobooth Laptop Camera)

I also posted a "How To" Video here

Would be awesome to see what some of you guys come up with. Please post your shots so we can make fun of your record collection! (If you have a small head, use a CD)

Today marked an historic day in Australian history.

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd delivered a fomal apology in front of the Parliament, saying "sorry" for the hurt caused by decades of state-sponsored treatment of indigenous Australians.

This was especially important for the "Stolen Generation", children of mixed descent from indigenous families who where forcibly removed from their parents to be put into orphanages and internment camps between 1869 and 1969.

The word "sorry" has not been used in this context by the Prime Ministers in the past out of fear for compensation claims that may arise from such an admittance of guilt.

Today Kevin Rudd finally did what should have been done years ago.

(would be great if someone would sift it, I don´t have a slot free at the moment)

Shirt arrived. 240 grams, Size M. Envelope had to get a Ceasarean section but is well and recovering fast.

If there is ever a second edition I will get a size S. (or gain 50 pounds) Thinking about taking the family camping for the weekend as it sleeps two.

Thanks Santa Dag!

 

  

Alright, admit it. Which one of you did it?

We have recently found out that there is a little sifter on the way for us, due next spring.

To honor these wonderful news I have decided to fill my entire queue with baby videos! (And one leftover clip of the german coach behaving like a kid...) Hope there is no "twin" posts...

Don´t know whether its a boy or a girl yet, but feel free to leave name suggestions for me to ignore below.  

>exit stage left to charge sleep batteries for next year

Edit: Due to an unforeseen save (that I am of course happy about) before I could post the last kidvid my queue now also contains Eddie the Eagle.  

 

Hooray! I just passed 2000 votes and  these guys showed up at my door!

From left to right: Hans, Heidi, Helga, Horst

I thought I would dig a little deeper into the brains of this community with a little poll. I came up with a few questions, in random order and just from the top of my head. It is all anonymus, so feel free to be honest!

Please do not take it too serious. We will see if this produces any interesting results.

Have fun!
