Desktop Video Conference - Setup time 5 Seconds

Earlier I had a tele-conference with Christian Becker and Gregor Schiele (we still try to write a book ;-) and I tryed MeBeam.com for the video. And to my great suprise it work instandly and well and the conference setup took about 5 seconds - open website, chose a name for the conference, distribute the link over skype. And as one can see video adds another quality to the conversation :-)

Hans is visiting, generating new ideas for projects

Hans was for a meeting in Stuttgart and he stayed another day to discuss project ideas with me - won't tell them here ;-).

Nevertheless there are always small new things to discover, too. Hans showed Vivien the Ocarina application for the iPhone - it is quite amazing how little it takes to create an interesting application - and that is very different from a traditional musical instrument. Especially the interweaving of playing yourself with the worldwide community is extremely well done.
