Sketch out your ideas wherever you are
The few sketches above where made on my phone on the bus with a little tool called sketchbook mobile.
I was thinking about writing about autodesk’s sketchbook pro for a while but never find the time. But the new Sketchbook mobile is so amazing I had to do it.
The software is reduced to the essentials compared [...]
The Internet manifest (in English)
A bunch of web-affine journalists and bloggers from Germany are trying to explain to the journalism industry, what its problem is and how it can survive. I took the liberty of a to translate it in English. Because I think that this is not just a German problem. I also have a google docs [...]
About stones and gardens
The master was watching his apprentice for almost a hour now. The master was smiling.
“What are you doing?”
“I am trying to remove this stone.”
“What is holding you back then.”
“It is very heavy, master”
“Maybe, it belongs on this spot, than”
“No, I didn’t put it there. Somebody must have left it here last night.”
“So you don’t like [...]
Buy proper Microphones When you want to podcast
Well I always through that the whole techno babble in podcasts are bullshit. But I understand it now.
I was thinking about starting my own Podcast project for while. And the first recording trial with my macbook have been promising. But as you can imagine after five minutes my inner geek arose. You can here the [...]
Love was written in notes
(Youtube Direktgondry, via Nerdcore, via Polkarobot)
Music is and has always been the best way of expressing love and Michel Gondry proofs this with „Carol Brown“ once again.

3D Printing – Hands-on experience
Today I got to play with a 310 from zCorp. Nice tool I have to say. This is a powder binder system based monochrome 3D printer. That means that powder is filled in a hole layer by layer and a inkjet nozzle basically paints the appropriate cross section on it and therefore the powder is [...]
UGO buys 1UP – And my entertainment schedule is ruined
Well, after not having a TV for the last tree and a bit years I was able to cover my daily craving for news, information and entertainment entirely by the web. Audio and video podcast together with the shire amount nonsense that found its way on my screen through twitter. My girlfriend and I became [...]
“Sharepoint, I hate sharepoint especially 2003″
As some of you might know I got a new job a couple of weeks ago. Its a KTP a Knowledge Transfer Partnership, in theory a pretty nifty idea. You take a bunch of academics and put them into industry projects. Then you give them some inside on management and let them transport the bleeding [...]
I want internet everywhere
I am just sitting in the bus and I want internet. This is ridiculous I am so used to have internet on my iphone that I find it strange not to have it on my laptop. In 2008 we could have internet everywhere but due to greedy Telcos we are still stuck in the twentieth [...]

The first talk is on “Versatile low cost wafer-level [...]

M.a.s.k. the Mobile Armored Strike Kommand was a secret organisation financed by an super rich U.S. entrepreneur who was fighting an bunch of rockers and punks [...]
The adventure begins
Holy Crap,
After ten month I was able to convince our landlord/letting agency to fix our bath. It was just possible by using financial force (refused to pay the full rent). Well, tomorrow the plumber will start to take the tiles from the wall. The schedule says that the works will be finished on Friday. [...]
There is more coming soon
I wanted blog directly from my trip to Nice last week, but the Côte d’azur is from an IT point of view third world. But I did a few articles and going to release them soon.
Thanks

You know I do normally not write about products but this was to good to be true.
And I just which I could get it with OS X. But I have to say, that it brings up some sentiment up on the first computer I paid for myself.

Dear Uncle Steve
This was supposed to be the big day, the day after the Preview for the SDK. And I felt good, Uncle Steve was thinking different again. The opening of the iPhone for 3rd Party developer was the reason for me to go for the iPhone. And as an apple user on priciple (since OS 8.1), [...]
Mars Edit
It was just enough. I could not stand the bad build-in editor of wordpress anymore so I tried a couple of editors out. And this is exactly what I was looking for, Mars Edit.Clean and easy interface, accurate post preview and all of that for a fair price. If you don’t like wordpress’ editor try out [...]

Tim hat heute einen Artikel auf demChaosradio Blog geschrieben in dem er die Veränderungen die Chaosradio bei Fritz gemacht hat rechtfertigt.Jetzt mal ehrlich was soll das denn, klar hat sich Chaosradio verändert ja es ist zu kurz, aber es hat doch nicht an Tiefe [...]
Jensemanns survived
Unbelievable,why is it that an upgrade never goes flawless. But that was strange. It cost me two hours to fix the blog. But it works again. Let’s see if the editor finally co-operates with safari.
Entspannung gefällig?
Schafft den Fernseher ab. Beruhigt, schafft Zeit und irgendwie bekommt man so ein subversives Gefühl.“Nein, nein, telekommandiert jemand anderen.”
Why we got the iPhone and why we won’t get and MacTablet
Today I saw the wonderful burlesque on Gizmodo called the MacBook Aircraft and when thought about it and showed it to a couple of my friends it became obvious. Apple fans hoping for two things for the last couple of years a phone and a tablet. So we got the phone last year everyone likes [...]
