    I just came across a British reality comedy TV series called Balls of Steel I’d like to share with you. I am probably three years behind but I still think it is worth mentioning. Especially the series segment "Neg’s Urban Sports" caught my attention. Here is one of my favorite videos where Neg is performing a "sport game" he calls "Knock and Don’t Run" which is a rather dangerous version of doorbell pranks.

    You can watch more urban sports videos here at YouTube.

    Two weeks ago I started trying out podcasts seriously for the first time. So far I mainly tried the ones from a German news radio station (http://www.dradio.de/podcast/). I downloaded the audio files about topics I found interesting and listened to them while travelling to and from work. I really enjoyed it – especially because of the facts that I could now listen to talks and reports I am really interested in and I didn’t had to pay attention to when they are broadcasted. However I found it quite cumbersome to navigate through the radio station’s web page, to select each podcast separately, to download them and finally to transfer them to my neat Samsung T9.

    So I started looking for some tools that could simplify this process. I finally came across a handy software called myPodder provided for free by Podcast Ready. Podcast Ready provides an online catalog of available podcasts from different sources and to my surprise they also have that German radio station listed. The interesting thing about their software is the fact that you can directly install it onto your mobile audio player and have it launched automatically the moment it is connected to a computer. This means you can easily charge your player with new podcasts from any computer having an internet connection. Simply connect the player, wait for the program to launch, select some new podcasts and download them.

    Finally, after years of static HTML pages, self-built PHP scripts, and the evaluation of dozens of open source content management systems and blogging tools I finally decided to give WordPress a try. Now the hard migration work is done and my site is up and running with a fresh new design providing all the neat features expected from a bleading-edge Web 2.0-ish site.

    In 2006 I was confronted with some big unwanted changes in my life. The songs of this album are strongly influenced by these experiences.
    You can listen to the tracks on my artist website at http://elektrofever.de. I like these tracks a lot so please give them a try too!
