Pressing F5 in a text field on MacOSX

Pressing F5 in a text field on MacOSX
Great Mac tip from tuaw: pressing F5 in a text field on MacOSX, while your cursor rests in a particular word to see a list of words that begin with the letters after the last space. Pressing Escape works, too.

Hansi Lang died at the age of 53

Hansi Lang died at the age of 53

On Sunday 8/24 8pm the Austrian musician Hansi Lang died after a stroke at the age of 53. I have been at his legendary concert for less than 50 people in a small hotel room at the Hilton Hotel in Vienna, I visited his comeback concert at the Rockhaus/Fritz and went to the premiere of his Slow Club at the Rabenhof in Vienna. Plus another great live performance of his Slow Club at the A1 shop opening in Mariahilfer Strasse. Great times. Last, but not least: his main act (and music) in the movie "Ich oder Du", where he takes a 911 to prove his life motto: Keine Angst (no fear)! Will be missed a lot!
Update: the funeral takes place on 8/30 at 10 am at Hernalser Friedhof, 1170 Wien, Leopold-Kunschak-Platz 7.

Slacklining in Austria

Slacklining in Austria
Slacklining is a balance sport which utilizes nylon webbing stretched tight between two anchor points. Slacklining is distinct from tightrope walking in that the line is not held rigidly taut; it is instead dynamic, stretching and bouncing like a long and narrow trampoline. The line's tension can be adjusted to suit the user and different types of dynamic webbing can be used to achieve a variety of feats. The line itself is flat, due to the nature of webbing, thus keeping the slacker's footing from rolling as would be the case with an ordinary rope. The dynamic nature of the line allows for impressive tricks and stunts. At slackline.at you find lots of information about this sport in Austria.
