Break & Silent Witness - Hollow

Slashdot mentioned new version of one of two best sci-fi movies ever Blade runner will be released in special edition on 25th anniversary of the original release. By the way the other movie is Stalker.

Just wonder whether after all those original, international, directors etc. edits could this bring something really new ...

Mathematics & Tactile - Vibra theme

This years streat theater/cirque nouveau/puppet show performances at Kratochvile castle are going to be performed from 2nd to 12th of August. Ticket sale starts on 1st of June, so don't miss it and see you there!

Looks like I'm in sort of wierd group of portable audio players customers as there is no product from any vendor to satisfy my needs. And this situation has been lasted at least for couple of years. And there is no hope to change soon :(

I thought these requirements are not something really exotic, are they ?

• User friendly & easy to use
• Great design / aesthetic look
• Ability to use it with Linux
• Support for OggVorbis
• Adequate battery life

I tried Neuros, but it looks awfully and battery life turned somewhat to 2 hours which is not acceptable. But at least it has cool feature of transmitting the output on selected FM frequency, so I still use it in the car.

Nothing else meets that criteria ... Creative, Emgeton, iAudio ... nobody. For a long time the closest is Apple with iPod. No Ogg support makes me beg after sending mails & signing petions:
APPLE, IF YOU CAN READ THIS, INCLUDE OGG VORBIS IN NEXT FIRMWARE VERSION, PLEASE!

Another Dekomunizace campaign:

Again, again and again ... not even a year from Czechtek, exactly a year from similar incident with protesters at communist 1st may celebration we have it again: 'Police smashed high director of the Government Office section for human rights while protesting against demonstration of neonazi Nation resistence'.

Coverage and very very illustrrative video of czech policemen 'proffessionality' at Britske listy.
