There’s so much noise

There is just so much noise.
Every day, everywhere I go, there is noise. Noise filling my ears, my head, my brain and my thoughts.
E.g. when sitting in my cubicle at work, there are so many people around me, talking and chatting, typing and writing, listening to music (which I only hear the baseline from their [...]

The power of a smile

I’ve been reading in a great book lately…
It’s nearly 80 years old, but the author, mr. Dale Carnegie, somehow managed to write down some everlasting truths which still apply just as they did back in the 1930s.
How to Win Friends and Influence People is an easy read, and in it mr. Carnegie writes down some facts about human interaction that are really obvious, but somehow we sometimes forget them.
I try to read [...]

Le Grand Content by Clemens Kogler

This you gotta see: Le Grand Content by Clemens Kogler  sdf.
Truly an excellent use of diagrams and tweaking effects to state a point.

P2P-television

Now would be a good time for some of the major media companies to look at new ways to reach audience.
With Janus Friis and Niklas Zennström (creators of Kazaa and Skype) using their skills and experience to develop a way to broadcast video using P2P network, the old fashion way is going to be old school pretty soon.
Joost, aka The Venice Project, will use the same peer2peer way of connecting computers for shared broadband as this guys have done with huge success before.
Instead of limiting the source of media to a huge server (which eventually will run out of resources/broadband when enough users connect), every user will share parts of the media to other users, thus making use of every bit available in every broadband cable around.
I believe this way of network [...]
