We were in an iMac video… kind of…
I just watched the video about the new iMac displays and was quite enthralled by the display… and then I discovered something neat at about two minutes in the video which activated some beautiful memories…

What an amazing time…
Since this will be the last blog entry for a couple of weeks I just wanted to write down some impressions about this really amazing time in my life.
VMWare going to acquire SpringSource for $420 million
Despite being the head of our SpringSource Premier Systems Integrator team at QuinScape this one took me by surprise. It was a well-guarded secret as far as we are concerned and no information leaked previously. And I failed to see the signs although they were there:
Digital Gaming Tables
I just got sidetracked for a short moment by this awesome presentation of a digital gaming table. After my Ph.D. thesis and my honeymoon that’s something to look more closely into… I’m absolutely awed…
Movie Review: Transformers 2
Last year during our USA trip we also visited the wonderful town of Lone Pine and the even more wonderful Alabama Hills (if you haven’t been there and like movies – go there! It’s a magical place). While we stayed there there was on site filming for the movie “Transformers 2″. Thus we have to go to the cinema and watch it. Today we did…

Great album, powerful track and it just fit the moment.
GNTM: A close second place for Witten
Usually I do not watch formats like “Germany’s Next Top Model” (the German equivalent of “America’s Next Top Model with our Heid Klum). Today was the final show of the 2009 edition. This time I did watch the show. For patriotic reasons. Seriously.
Using presentation channels with brains…
Now this here is a very cool way to present a web comic. The most enticing I have seen so far.
Book recommendation: Azincourt bei Bernard Cornwall
Just to get a quick tip off: This saturday I by pure chance bought Azincourt by Richard Cornwall. I’m very interested in medieval history and also love a good yarn with medieval background. So far I only managed the first 156 pages but I am having a lot of fun following the adventures of Nicholas Hook, english forester, outlaw, archer and more on his way to the famous battle of Agincourt/Azincourt. Well written, interesting so far, decent characters (by far not as great as in the First Law trilogy though). If you want some pretty well researched medieval storytelling, here you go!
