Last weekend’s uncon­fer­ence at Microsoft in Vienna was the biggest Aus­trian Bar­camp so far — the social media scene is grow­ing, inter­est in social media plat­forms, new tech­nolo­gies and the par­a­digm shift in mar­ket­ing has increased immensely over the last cou­ple of months. This is not a big sur­prise: more and more peo­ple under­stand that the web 2.0 is not about a new gen­er­a­tion of buzz­words that pol­lute the same old pow­er­point pre­sen­ta­tions, but about a fun­da­men­tal par­a­digm shift in the way com­pa­nies com­mu­ni­cate with their customers:

Yes­ter­day I arrived at Vegas for Microsoft’s Mix con­fer­ence. And thanks to my lucky charm I got a room with a view at Man­dalay Bay Hotel — from my win­dow in the 33rd floor I over­look the com­plete strip, the famous Las Vegas Boule­vard sport­ing all the grand casinos:

In Jan­u­ary I vis­ited the exhi­bi­tion Medi­en­wel­ten at Tech­nis­ches Museum Wien. It’s a fas­ci­nat­ing trip back to the very begin­nings of infor­ma­tion trans­mis­sion — a must for any­one inter­ested in the early begin­nings of this media society:

The medien.welten exhi­bi­tion presents the his­tory of trans­mis­sion media as well as stor­age media. On 2.500 square meters the evo­lu­tion of the mod­ern media-system becomes alive. In addi­tion to hun­dreds of his­tor­i­cal arte­facts, images and texts, the exhi­bi­tion fea­tures a virtual-information-room that goes beyond the scope of con­ven­tional museum exhibitions.

Last Sun­day I returned to the museum, but this time I brough my cam­era. There’s plenty to explore: from early tele­graph sys­tems which used a piano-keyboard for enter­ing mes­sages to a his­toric cin­ema. These pic­tures only high­light a bit of the exhi­bi­tion — so if you ever come to Vienna, pay a visit to the exhi­bi­tion your­self. Read the rest of this entry »

Thanks and shout-outs to all spon­sors, vis­i­tors, talk­ers and hosts at Video­camp Vienna 2010! Orga­niz­ing the event together with Aus­trian tele­vi­sion sta­tion ATV and Daten­werk was a great expe­ri­ence — and we’re all very sat­is­fied with the pre­miere of Austria’s first online video bar­camp. Knowl­edge was trans­ferred, expe­ri­ences were shared, a lot of vis­i­tors had to update their “met in real life” Twit­ter list — just the way we like it. I’m already look­ing for­ward to Video­camp Vienna 2010!

Wow — I can’t believe the WBF2009 is already over. Time just passed so quickly — I’ll have more on day 2 of the con­fer­ence tomor­row, but for now there’s just five words: Thank you for the invi­ta­tion! The meet­ing was an incred­i­ble expe­ri­ence, Mihaela and her team did an unbe­liev­able job: I’ve never been to a web con­fer­ence that well-organized aka per­fect — and I’d love to come to Bucharest again for the WBF2010!

Thanks a lot for the encour­ag­ing feed­back on my first two series of HDR-pics! (part 1 | part 2)! I know that HDR pro­cess­ing has been a lit­tle “over­stretched” recently. But even though high dynamic res­o­lu­tion images often look “hyper-realistic”, I must say that these pho­tos match the Andalu­sian col­ors as seen by the naked eye much more than a nor­mal pic­ture. Like Vilém Flusser used to say, pho­tog­ra­phy does *not* pic­ture real­ity, but rather con­structs tech­ni­cal images. And here goes the third part my series — I took all the pic­tures in Gibral­tar. From gib­bons to Africa — enjoy! Please note: all images are avail­able in large size — just click on a pic to load the 1280-pixel version.

I’ve just uploaded the sec­ond set of Andalu­sian HDRs which I took dur­ing my hol­i­day in Octo­ber (which was over far too soon btw). The first series of pho­tos is avail­able hier. I used my Canon EOS 40D with a 28–135 lense (the new Sigma 10–20 3,5 was added to my equip­ment later when we drove to Gibralatar :mrgreen:) and Pho­tomatix to process the HDRs. This series con­tains a cou­ple of beach-shots from Costa de la Luz (near Cohnil) as well as a some view of Vejer de la Fron­tera, a small vil­lage on top of hill. If you visit Vejer, don’t miss restau­rant Trafal­gar — espe­ciall their Ceviche (tuna-carpaccia mar­i­nated in lime juice) is just awesome.

I just returned from Andalu­sia yes­ter­day — the cli­matic shock was quite heavy: from the sunny skies of won­der­ful Spain straight to clouded, rainy Vienna. So I chose visual escapism and edited the first series of my HDR-pics from Andalu­sia. Dur­ing the last 11 days Linz­er­schnitte and me trav­elled through the province of Andalu­sia, from famous Sherry-distilleries in Jerez via the beau­ti­ful white Cadiz to British Gibral­tar. Plus we stayed in Sevilla for a cou­ple of days, tast­ing Tapas and envy­ing the Span­ish folks for their siesta. I’ll post a cou­ple of trav­el­lingtips and more pho­tos later — here’s the first series, com­ments highly appre­ci­ated (as always :mrgreen:)

The Easter bunny had a great present in store for me this year: a cou­ple of days ago, I was about 100 fol­low­ers short of 5k. So I announced that my 5.000th fol­lower would receive a free review of a site of his choice — but instead of a text review I am going to show you some pic­tures, and I’m hon­ored to announce that the said per­son is not a human being, but a famous inter­net dog. Wel­come Archie! And Archie does not run a blog him­self, but he stars in a large num­ber of great pic­tures, so I decided to post a selec­tion of my favorite Archie pho­tos. All shots have been taken by Phreak 2.0, the other end of Archie’s leash.

Lately, Xsara has become quite fas­ci­nated with all the real­time pod­cast­ing buzz. “I’ve spent enough time as a lis­tener, time to get my own show,” she told me recently:
