The movie was recorded this morning at around 5:30. I brought Klasomat to the airport. He was the first person to use our brand new service: The Flughafenholundbringdienst (mit Driveyourself-Option).

I think we should go for the big guys … collecting the little ones is too boring. Go out and get ‘em! Then upload the photo to flickr and add the tag wmpisser2006 to it.
This is the first inofficial web-preview via Mowecam of the IKEABagHack.
The IKEABagHack is a hack of the famous IKEA bags that serve as shopping baskets inside IKEA stores. Outside the stores these bags are widely used by young people to transport great amounts of laundry and/or emtpy bottles.
The basic idea behind this hack is to transform a huge inconvenient bag into a small fashionable bag. This should not be achieved by complex cuts, but by folding the IKEA bag. (The working title was iFolder). Only two straight cuts have to be made.
Instructions:
Remove the bottom of the original bag by opening the seam.
Also remove the seam on the side.
Fold the bag (aka the long piece of blue plastic) in half. The handles of each side should be opposite of each other.
After the process of folding two seams have to be made on the left hand side and ond the right hand side of the handles.
Then remove the two loose remaining pieces behind one of the seams. (This is the ugly but quite simple part of cutting.)
Turn the cloth through the open pocket in the middle and add another seam at the bottom.
Twist the bag completely and your done.
The bag has three pockets that are big enough to hold the essentials of the semi-digital urban coffeehouse visitor: A small laptop, a power supply and a magazine.
A big thank you to Carolin, the goddess of sewing-machines.
[UPDATE] I published some picture of the IKEABagHack at flickr.
[UPDATE2] A lot of readers of the IKEABagHack kept on asking if we sell it. For those are not familiar with DIY this is your chance to get your BagHack.

Below my apartment there is a great restaurant. If you can do the math, you know what I did.
For those of you who don’t have a restaurant in your vincity, the offer to get a FON router for 4€/$ (shipping not included, “This offer is valid until June 5, 2006 at 14:30 CET or until all products have been sold.”) is quite a good option.
The FON router comes with OpenWrt inside. I was especially happy that it supports WDS. Now my Airport Express Unit extends my WiFi network, and my Xbox his hooked up to it via ethernet. Hmmmm, what a happy setup!
