Did you know for the fourth time

These kind of videos are trendy today. Lots of numbers, shiny colours and mindblowing typeface. And yes they are - entertaining at least. Perhaps even interesting in terms of content.

I liked this one and acted in the way they wanted me to do - to pass on the message to you. Nice. But actually I think the 3.0 version was better..

Brighton - 21 years after

Made a quick detour on Wednesday night and visited Brighton. 21 years after being one of those youngsters spending three weeks learning language - and well - life.

 Did not really recognize Brighton. The pier was still there, but was it really called Brighton Pier back then? And there used to be another pier as well, which was in ruins now.

 Sometimes it might be best to keep the memories as memories.

Web-mining-arts-installation experiment

Web-mining-arts-installation experiment:
http://personas.media.mit.edu/personasWeb.html
made by Aaron Zinman and found through Olivier.
 
This is how internet sees me:

This is the same as how Google would see me = mixing other people with the same names in the picture.
 
But the likes of Facebook and Dopplr can distinguish between different persons. Is that worth 1B, 10B or 100B in the future?

QBic Amsterdam

Interesting low-cost-design hotel concept: Qbic WTC Amsterdam:
http://www.qbichotels.com/

 Self service checkin, modular desk/bed/bathroom complex, photos on the
wall, lightning etc. but somewhat disappointing execution:
- Self service checkin did not work
- Terribly hot in the room
- Walls thin as paper (and some noisy neighbours...)

 Many positive things of course: Good location inside WTC complex, nice
walls, Hästens bed etc.

Tilt-shift time-lapse video

Shooting still photographs is and will be my primary interest. Period.
But adding extra 3k€ and get 5DmarkII and tilt-shift lens to do things like this would be nice.



The helicopter costs obviously a bit more... thanks Claire for the link!
