CONNECTED :-)

I am finally connected to the world again. No more boring evenings reading or staring at the wall!!! The World-Wide-Web is now pouring into my humble home with an amazing 6000 things per second!

If only the weather would be better, I would be smiling even more.

Hasta pronto!!!

And by retarded I mean happy, tired, dead, hungry, thirsty, glad to have been there, etc... Click on the picture for more ...

a new revolutionary tool

just heard of this new tool from xuuk.com which can check where people look at and how often. it was originally developed for advertising posters to see how many people actually look at them (so to transfer the pay-per-click advertising model into the real world) but I have much better ideas.

the most obvious geeky idea would be to mount one of these on my t-shirts to see who is actually reading the stuff that is written on them. a less obvious thing would be to test the theories about where guys / girls actually look when they first meet each other. oooh - the fun of connecting this thing to some loudspeaker and announcing where people looked ...
