Great tv series and great restau­rants do have a lot in com­mon: tem­po­rary high­lights are not suf­fi­cient, the pro­duc­ers must man­age to keep the qual­ity level. While many series start with a great first sea­son but fail to live to big expec­ta­tions after­wards, the author­ing team behind Dex­ter kept deliv­er­ing great sto­ries for 4 sea­sons. On Sep­tem­ber 26th, the fifth sea­son pre­miers in the US. Vis­i­tors of Comic Con 2010 were the first to see the offi­cial trailer. Luck­ily, the video is also avail­able on Youtube since July 23rd, and by the time I pub­lish this post­ing, 1.2 mil­lion peo­ple have already seen it. Atten­tion if haven’t watched sea­son 4 yet: the trailer con­tains a seri­ous spoiler!

Enjoy the new datadirt video podcast!

So enjoy the pod­cast which con­tains a short intro­duc­tion, the inter­view plus two exlu­sive bonus tracks

Blendtec’s blenders cost a lit­tle for­tune, but we’re more than will­ing to spend an extra mar­ket­ing dol­lar for all the great “Will it blend?” series videos those folks keep deliv­er­ing. They blended hockey pucks, a laser point­ers, Money clips — and above all plenty of Apple prod­ucts. Fol­low­ing in the foot­steps of the iPhone (both 1st edi­tion and 3G) and the iPod, this time the newest geek-gadget aka the iPad under­goes the crush-test. Of course it won’t withstand:

Stephen Elop is the pres­i­dent of Microsoft’s Busi­ness Divi­sion — nat­u­rally, he’s more inter­ested in busi­ness inno­va­tion than in shiny cus­tomer gad­gets. In this 6 minute inter­view, Elop talks about the deep-rooted change com­pa­nies cur­rently face as the under­ly­ing ques­tion “how do we deal with this vast amount of infor­ma­tion in an effi­cient way?” is an ongoin project:

Later this year, the all-new, Mobile 6.5-free Win­dows Phone will hit the shelfs. It seems Microsoft is doing their best to repeat some of Apple’s mis­takes (no copy-paste, no mul­ti­task­ing) — yet still, the first pre­view videos which turned up today look quite promising:

“Bounty, the bad­dest PT in your county — almost as strong as a Cana­dian mounty — and I’ve seen one, they’re pretty tough, pretty tough — but can they hold 11 pool palls in their hand — like I know that Bounty can?” Yes, that’s a hilar­i­ous one:

I never was a big fan of Will Smith’s music, but I def­i­nitely did enjoy some of his movies. Yet I had no idea that Will has such inter­est­ing views on life, ethics and suc­cess — take ten min­utes and lis­ten to the whole inter­view; it’s worth your time, I promise:

I got to know Mar­tin Stoni when I worked for Project Pow­der­storm, an online snow­board / skate com­mu­nity. When T-Mobile took over our main spon­sor max.mobil, the Ger­man com­pany can­celled all skate-sponsoring activ­i­ties and decided to go sports-mainstream. The job was great though: spend­ing nearly every win­ter week­end in a dif­fer­ent ressort, we cov­ered var­i­ous snow­board events online and we always found time ride the slopes our­selves. Mar­tin Stoni did all the video­clips back then. He stuck to his genre and got even bet­ter: these days he pub­lished his freeride mag­num opus “HiKE” online — enjoy the won­der­ful pic­tures but don’t blame me mor any result­ing moun­tain craving!

Vienna’s first Video­Camp ever (a Bar­Camp spe­cial­iz­ing in dig­i­tal video) takes place at Media Quar­ter St. Marx on the 30th of Jan­u­ary 2010. ATV, Austria’s lead­ing pri­vate tv sta­tion, Daten­werk Inno­va­tion Agency and daten­schmutz (aka my German-language blog) are extremely proud to invite pod­cast­ers, tv pro­fes­sion­als, video-freaks and other moving-picture geeks to join an intense day of ses­sions and discussions.

If you haven’t seen the 4th sea­son of “Dex­ter” yet, then don’t watch this video — not even the first few sec­onds, because they con­tain a seri­ous spoiler. In case you already know how the cat-and-mouse game between Dex and Trin­ity ends, you are going to like this sit­down with Michael C. Hall and John Lithgow:
