food for your brain: arte

arteWell, I´ve to say that the television-landscape in germany ist just a big katastrophy – it´s not the commercials which take longer than some films you want to watch, but it´s the qualitiy of the program itself. „Cheapy-creepy“ talkshows, so many people are just talking shit – sometimes I think they should just shut their mouth – piss off! No one wants to hear what you are saying. Whooo: you think what is wrong with you, Ingmar? It makes me angry:I see the problem in the fact that people are watching TV – I mean it´s ok, as long as they watch things which are a little-little bit intellectual, and are for their information. But TV seems to dry out the brains of our country, 1984 comes true, people are just watching clueless onto their screens, waiting for being said what they should do. In this context the german/french TV station arte is a bit of heaven in this hell: They have a real interesting program. For example: „mit offenen Karten“ („with open cards in english“, „le dessous des cartes“ en francais). This show tries to analyze political, cultural and economical circumstances by using geography. What consquences did 9/11 have? Who needs a warfare in afghanistan? Why is Kioto so important for our future? Very fascinating. I´ve just seen the preview and was blown away: I will definitely watch it on the next wednesday at 22.30. Here you can find all technical details for how to get arte. By the way, the design of their website is extraordinary good – and it fits perfectly to the TV screendesign. Thank you, arte…

Using ecto for a week now,

and what I realize is, that it´s much, much more easier to post graphics: I always found it quite complicated to do so with the web-frontend of typepad: and ecto makes it just so easy. I hope this blog won´t become too colourfull. What do you think…?

„You are called an entrepreneur, when you don´t have a job“

2WPTaf03This and several other quotations from entrepreneurs ranging from Bill gates to Donald Trump are in this article. This is really quite inspiring. The most precise for me was the one from Roy Ash, co-founder of Litton Industries: „An entrepreneur tends to bite off a little more than he can chew hoping he’ll quickly learn how to chew it.“

eaby-redesign

ebay_1So ebay gets a new design though I´ve to say, that it´s not a real redesign: it´s useful additions, like personalized windows and helpful links. I think they are going into a right direction – but they have to take further steps: ebay is not suitable for any kind of disabled person, and it´s quite complicated. The design has to support the usability which is not an easy job, because ebay is just quite complicated because of all these different structures and interfaces for sellers, buyers, statistics….should we help you out? 😉

Intel and HP building new internet

It looks as there is a consortium of HP and Intel being the leading voices, which are trying to fit the upcoming needs of a new internet-generation. planet-lab.org tries to put a layer onto the existing tcp/ip protocol, which intelligentely decides where are traffic-bottlenecks, and reroutes the packets. It even should be able to prevent viruses from growing. (In short from the article of silliconvalley.com)
