Makes me wonder how many more people I could have reached if I would have cut back on technical details. Didn’t Stephen Hawking postulate something along those lines in the beginning of A Brief History Of Time? ;) There are at least two conferences/camps coming up in the next three months and I am thinking about changing/updating/modifying what and how I convey real-time shared...

Waking up with "Cradle of Love" once more OR when...
It is incredible how often I find myself thanking YouTube for the wealth of music videos from my teenage years it hoards. What better way to wake up than with a playlist full of your favorite mood-matching music videos, lighting up the room, running on your big screen LCD? Billy Idol makes the start this morning with the excellent Cradle of
Love - enjoy the vid right after the jump. Does...
Trolls Are People Too - Just Try Not To Feed Them
Today I woke up to be greeted by an email from Rob
K.. He had come across a blog post that was - mildly put - critical of the Eclipse Communication Framework, a project I have been involved with ever since the summer of 2006. Since there is nothing wrong with criticism per se, pretty much to the contrary, especially if it turns out to be of the constructive kind, I dared to have a closer...
Dinner with Julia Allison ... well, almost
No matter how enjoyable last week in Herford was, I missed having a coffee and reading my latest stack of magazines at my favorite downtown Munich hangout. Thus I am celebrating my return with a sandwich dinner at the very location and by re-reading Wired’s excellent article on Julia Allison - this time in printed form. For years I did not feel like picking up the magazine anymore, but...
80s Cover Band: 32 Seconds of Bus Stop's "Please...
On Saturday, my cousin Kaan - who is currently visiting from Turkey - grabbed my Kodak M1033 and ran off to record a couple of seconds HD footage of the Hoekerfest 80s Cover Band. The guys and gal rocked Herford’s
Neuer Markt pretty good. Btw, posterous says it automatically turns links to Vimeo
videos to embedded ones. Let’s see about that - I’ll just include a link to the...

Did I ever mention that I am world-famous for my excellent peach punch variations? And this from someone who hardly ever indulges in alcoholic beverages :)

Hoekerfest 2008 Day 2: A 14 Second Glimpse
Concluding a long day over the course of which more friends and a better (cover) band than the one yesterday surprised me. Among the friends coming by, were some very special ones. The attached short video can give you a hint of the of today’s busyness on Herford’s Neuer Markt. Btw, this post is meant to test posterous cross-posting of videos to my flickr account as well. ...
Korg DS-10 won't leave me alone, haunts me in my...
I have been all excited about Korg’s Kaoss Pads and the Korg DS-10, which among other things includes one(!), for
a while now. A couple
of days ago my fellow
gamesundso.de friends and I had the chance to lay hands on one of the nifty gadgets and now I can’t get it out of my head anymore. I catch myself browsing play-asia.com
for the cartridge (I know it’s a flash card,...
A guy named Galactus gave me this T-Shirt ...
… and told me he’d follow up with a silver surf
board. He kind of looked like this. Should I be worried?
