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. :)
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 had all three live streams from the different conference tracks on screen, so I was able to switch between the talks if one got boring to me. This is actually a great enhancement opposed to being present physically on a conference.
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!
When you are learning for an exam (like I do in the moment), you have these moments when you can't make any sense of what you are reading. So you need to strain some other senses, best is to do something completely different to relax, but in the last time before the exam you (me at least ;)) don't even have the time to do something different, so you can relax by watching videos on the topic you are learning in the moment.
Here is what I found by a websearch. Not bad and I am sure you can find more by searching more deep.
The best videos I found are from Wolfgang Hürst.
For christmas I got a little book called math for the vest pocket (in german: Mathematik für die Westentasche) by the math Professor Albrecht Beutelspacher.
It is a popular science book and consists of 52 short topics on general math from "golden section" over "Fermat's last Theorem" to "Traveling Salesman Problem". Today I read the topic about "a cord around the equator".
