Nicole and I were walking around the Fanfest here in Berlin today and look who we ran into? Apparently Pele is doing a promotional tour for a new album he has made. Okay. As long as I get ot have a picture with him. It was a rather surreal/virtual experience. :-)

I'm in Berlin now for the weallspeakfootball.com project. I'll be here for the next 2 weeks. As if I didn't have enough vloggers and bloggers around me this month with Podcastday2006 and vloggercon2006. But I just can't gget enough. I'll be posting some more videos up here, and on weallspeakfootball.com. This picture was made by Renate, the wife of good freind of mine Alexx from iFranz.tv. There are now in New York and I wish them the best time there!!! Awesome trip guys, enjoy! Standing next to me and Alex is Burkhard from einfallsriech.tv ( I hope I spelled it right, I can't speak it for shit.) I nay case keep watching this space and the others to see some World Cup fun!!!
It looks like we are making headway in the Net Neutrality action. More news from that can be found on savetheinternet.com. What was nice was this letter I recieved today:
This is filed under, "What the fuck was the homework assignment?". This guy made a robot which moves around. I know what you are saying, the Japanese are doing this, so what? Well, this robot is being controlled by a COCKROACH! Things are springing to my mind. I think the most prominent is:
A cockroach is killed by raid. Other cockroaches get together and say, "We can rebuild him. We have the technology!"
This is a world wide issue, that vould cause the next dot com crash. What is the issue? If you haven't heard about Net Neutrality yet, imagine a world in which telecom providers in the US restrict access to various web services such as google, or flickr, or even iTunes. Slowwing down access to these sites or even rerouting to another site which has paid them more money to service. This is being down also under the umbrella of "security". Or more like Sensorship. What an aweful world that would be, with no easy access to my family photos, indenpendent record labels, independent press and citizin journalists, or even my friend's blog. Well it's happening in theUS right now and will affect all of us worldwide. This needs to be stopped.
YOU READING OR WATCHING THIS! If you love the internet and the freedom of information that you can access on it goto:

Here's a pic from Pre Podcastday 2006 (i.e. getting drinks the night before). You wouldn't know it but those are big name podcasters sitting around me. I guess that's the perks of podcasting vs. vlogging, you don't show you face as much and are more anonymous. :-) Thanks for the shot chouchpotatoes!!!

Well, it looks like I decided on my new company mode of transit. Only an incredibly cool fold up bike for us green vloggers! www.strida.com
Went to Spain this weekend to chat with Anil about our World Cup gig, and Rodrigo was in town (VpodTV) so we all had a few bottles of wine together. Rodrigo posted the same video from his phone on rodrigo.typepad.com
I just heard from an inside source that Greenpeace has placed a container of radioactive waste in the front hall of VROM. VROM is the Dutch Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment for the Netherlands. Workers at VROM are scared to leave as they may pass by the radioactive waste. They are basically trapped. Greenpeace is leaving the waste at VROM until 17:00 today but are hoping that Deputy Minister Van Geel officially accept this "gift" from Greeenpeace.
UPDATE:
Aparently the Deputy Minister is going accept the gift in a couple of hours @ 17:30. Another bit of news, those "Ambtenaars" (Dutch word for government workers) are so stupid, there were a number of them just standing around the container talking and drinking coffee after they recorded enough radiation within 6 feet of the container to be dangerous. HELOOOOO!!!!!!
