Oh my. When I checked my camera this morning, I noticed I had taken some videos on Saturday when we went to the famous club “Deep”, to one of their closing nights.
It was packed. It was loud. We went down to celebrate the raw techno in strobo lights and waving hands. I don’t know how I could have forgotten about the clips, but they were cool, so I edited a little video to put you guys in the picture Continue reading
Poster from impawards.comPeople! Politics, Urban democracy, new ideas for the internet.. You don’t care! All you want is party and dancing and CHEAP entertainment.
So while I am promoting the Netzkicker (check out the banner on the right!), thinking about how to implement the random header plugin and looking for ENTERTAINMENT for Stylewalker-visitors it’s raining outside and people are planning the weekends-parties.
Should I go to Cash-money party (Vice and Rio people at Golden Gate) or to GMT (Hussong and Stone – check out play babba.. – at PHB) or to some new misterious club in Invalidenstraße or to Designmai? Maybe I just stay in. Whatever.

There’s a lot of issues one should be concerned about and to be involved in (even if it’s on the lowest possible level) to make life a little better on this planet. Poverty, transparency, environmental care, animal rights, children’s future, education, democracy.. But one thing is especially cruel and keeps sticking in my head whenever I hear or read about it: Weapons trade.

I just love these two videos, been watching them all day already. Both are from London and both hit the perfect dance nerve. Besides, the melodies stick in your head like glue. Enjoy: Lily Allen with “LDN” and Hot Chip with “Over and Over”.
Definetely going to watch the latter on this years Melt!-Festival. Btw: They write a pretty entertaining “melting blog” about the little necessary details if you want to organize a huge festival.
View the videos, Continue reading
Ok, I admit, the three-dimensional browser was a nice idea, but a CRAPPY PICTURE! I just didn’t have the patience.. Whatever, now Stylewalker’s back with some fotos! Taken on a nice and sunny day in Berlin where I met two guys in the street, dismantling a postbox and a big sign: “Look at it and decide what you want to do here!”.
Interesting idea: There was a free space, right next to a café and a house, in Schwedter Straße. The guys study architecture and set up the experiment of letting people give them ideas for some kind of pulicly used space.

There is a fundamental discrepancy between the architecture of a browser and the way most people use the internet: The history of all browsers works linear, but our behaviour is not. Merely, it is three-dimensional. Software-development should take this into consideration.

Worldcup-madness and you can’t resist? Thinking about the round thing all the time, want to see it dither in the knitting?
Now you can, with some überstylish football simulation: The Netzkicker. It’s easy, effective and fun, the most straight forward football simulation I have seen on the net. (And I have seen many: Yahoo has one, Intel tried it and RTL, too).
Run with the mouse, kick with a click. It’s still Beta, so handle it gently..
The netzkicker is realized and maintained by the online communications agency Face2net which I work for.
The Weekend is one of the most famous clubs in Berlin. Situated in the 12th floor of a skyscraper, it has not only one of the most impressive locations but also one of the best bookings. Techhouse, Minimal, funky, bleepy, souly, from Jazzanova to Tiefschwarz, from Turntable Rockers to M.A.N.D.Y, Dirt Crew, Booka Shade.. they invite popular DJs with taste. To watch pictures and a movie Continue reading
If you are interested in what my master-thesis in communication will be about, click the thumbnail and you’ll see a mindmap.
In the map, I tried to combine all the theories I would like to discuss in the thesis. From organizational theories (e.g. Max Weber, Mintzberg) to the discussion about formal and informal structures of organizations, psychoanlytical organization theory (starts with Freud, happ 150th, anyway!), organizational culture and to my core object: organizational identity. (Albert & Whetten wrote a lot about it)

If you ever tried to control Ableton Live and maybe some synth and effects with a mouse, you will know that there’s much to improve in terms of usabilty. Laptop-musicians dream of some hardware-controller solution that gives them buttons to trigger the sounds from their laptop, like samples, arrangements, effects and so on.
Now here is one fascination toy: Monome40h. It consists of 8×8 touchpads that are programmable via an open-source controlling routine which turns them into keys, radio groupings, virtual sliders, etc., to communicate with ableton live, reason, cubase, logic and alike.
