It's that time of year to play this awesome song from my firend Steve! Furthermore for my Birthday WE ARE LAUNCHING THE XOLO ALPHA!!! How cool is that. So here's the deal. Today we will be sending out the first 10 invites, checking the system and then follow with some more invites. It may take a week to get through our list, but we are starting. What a great birthday present that is. If you haven't sigend up to be a tester you can still do that at www.xolo.tv still, but you have to be fast.

Picnic 07 in Amsterdam


For those who are interested, I will be speaking on the panel "Transforming Media" being hosted by Divx at the Picnic Festival in Amsterdam. The panel is in the Engine room on Wed. 26 and is from 10:00 to 13:00. If you are there, give me a shout out!

Furthermore there are lots of interesting things to be seen at picnic, for free. If you have the time next week, check out the program. The conference track is 900+ euro (I know it's pricey) but you don't need that for all events.

Theater Festival Amsterdam

This is a short video of an acrobatics act that wrapped up the Theater Festival in Amsterdam. over 30 theaters were participating. There were more plays than you can throw a stick at. It's at the scale of the Edinburgh's festival, but that's where the organizers are headed. Amazing that they got no funding from I Amsterdam. This is the kind of festival that needs more attention from the city and from sponsors. For more information check the TF1 website.

What is it about reality shows?

People are always amazed at how much these reality shows and contests are so popular. It's not crazy. What we are seeing is true drama, that is not being acted. I don't care how good an actor you are, there is nothing like seeing real emotion, real drama or experiencing those fleeting moments that reality shows provide. As an example look at this clip to see this dorky mobile phone salesman bring tears (real emotion) to the crowd in this song contest.

Returning Home



Neville Hobson gave me a ride back from the conference in belgium. We had a great talk on the way back about geek stuff but life as well. It's good to hear that his new company is working out well 4 him. We both feel it is an exciting time to be alive.
