This "Pfingst"(pentecost)-hollyday weekend I attented SIGINT 2010. The event took place at the KOMED event centre located in the MP6 and MP7 buildings of the MediaPark in the centre of Cologne, which is in walking distance from my home. :)

I just want to share this beautiful short movie, from David Kaplan and Eric Zimmermann with you. I found it via nerdcore. Something between a brave new world - in terms of fear - and a great optimistical view on the possibilities of immersive technology and augmented reality resulting in the melting of borders of reality and virtuality. There is also a strong philosophical aspect of this movie, that it is all just a game and you have to be clear about yourself to play it right... I think. So, keep playing and try to "level up" as far as you can... for a better world and stuff, you know! :)

Very inspirational indeed. Enjoy!

Last week I went to London to attend the WhereCampEU. It was amazing! I am still flashed, I kind of feel like floating (at least) a meter over ground. :-) Here is the great intro video of the conference, which Christopher presented at the WhereCampEU Kick off:

Yes! New Website look! I think inspired from attending the wherecamp.eu last week, I found the creativity to do a makeover of my website.

This week I had time to follow the 26c3 remotley from home via video live streams. And this was a really great and inspirational experience to me. Here is what it looked like on my computer during the conference:

I figured out two different approaches, to get 3DWarehouse SKP/KML/COLLADA models into CityGML, which I want to share with you (this is all very trivial, but If you don't know it, it can cost quiet some time to find the right tools for doing this).

The first way is to use the CityGML PlugIn for Sketchup from www.citygml.de.

Oh Boy!! This is about when its starts to get nasty with LaTeX editing.

I'am writing my Diplomathesis at the moment, and I choosed LaTex for the typesetting, which is normally without a doubt the best choice you can take for that task.
But I'm now at a point, where it starts to get nasty...

For the purpose of splitting my bibliography references into two bibliographies (one for the referred normal scientific literature and one for referred websites).

Hi all,

I want to share some media, which I got recently on two mailing lists I'm subscribed to, with you.

The first Video was posted by Puneet Kishor on Geowanking mailing list.

Bruce Sterling is pondering on AR. Really intelligent and very wise. Just some other view angles then just the technical ones on the topic. Very good!

Hi there!

I just installed Google Sketchup 7 with wine on Ubuntu 9.04 and it works!

But I have to say, there are some minor "bugs" you have to take care of, to get it up an running nice.
