Ok. There is a video coming, lots actually, but here is a little taster of my trip to Davos and the World Economic Forum. Anyone read "The Alchemist" should know P.C. below.
Just before the DLD conference, GabeB and I joined up with some friends to have dinner. A kind of tradition now. We always go and have sausages, beer, and typical Bavarian deserts. Great times. This year Guido van Nispen, R.J. Friedlander, Alex Wunschel (and his lovely girlfriend), Jonathon Marks, Rodrigo Sepulveda, Blonde 2.0, Constantin Bjerke and Alex and Sabine from the DLD team joined us. Here are some great pics that Rodrigo made from the night... It was so much fun and a great start of the conference....
I haven't been blogging as much as I should have been, so I figured it is time for some catch up posts. Before hitting the DLD conference with GABEB I went out with JAG. I've only been talking with JAG online, and it was so great to finally meet her in person. We had a great night dancing at the Escape in Amsterdam thanks to a couple of free tickets from Pensly. Here is a short video of dancing. Ok, it is one of my, "I don't care" video styles. But still nice. I'm sure there are a lot of jealous guys out there going to look at this. All I can say about JAG is that she is one of the coolest people you will ever meet.
During DLD Yossi Vardi and Gabe Mac get to conduct a 4 string quartet in their own styles thanks to Itay Talgam. This video is best watched with headphones.
Jeff Jarvis of Buzzmachine and Alan Rusbridger of the Guardian talk about the crisis and it's effect on old media at DLD, Munich 2009.
What is in the DLD goodies bags? We take a look.
There is a guilty pleasure that really comes out in Flickr. Anonymous voyeruism. I noticed that some complete strangers have been faving certain pictures of mine for some time now. I could not figure out whether it was a stalker, or just some sad lonely person as there is nothing in the profiles to understand who it is. Then after digging deeper I think I discovered it. It is like a game almost. In my search for why or what it is... I discovered the stories. Clicking randomly on commenters, seeing thier favorites and making huge leaps and jumps starting from my own anonymous voyeuers, I begin to make a story together. A weaving through the reaches of cyberspace, to create a story in my head, based on the click of the mouse and my own A.D.D. to guide me. Here is a small glimpse into the stories you can piece together.
MAke your own story, and let me see.... Add a link in the comments.
I'm having fun with some flickr tools today. Here is a quick sample.
Got this in my e-mail today...
