Rush hour in London or Schalke FC vs Chelsea

Coming from a meeting in town and on my way back in the office I bummed into a rather cheerful crowd at embankment station. Not being a big football fan myself it took me about 10 minutes to figure out a) they were actually football fans and b) they were German supporters of Schalke 04 - all still rather happy and enjoying the curious attention they got - plus the help of about 30-40 policemen getting them safely into the tube at rush hour.

Anyway - we will know in about 2 hours who is cheering than... Best of luck to both teams.

Berliner Salon - Online Marketing Seminar by me :)

Es war klasse! - Great event!

I really enjoyed taking part at the first of hopefully a long and successful range of similar events. Even though my camera did not work and the Online Marketing Seminar which I was holding is not available for future generation ;)

Any way - I hope I will receive some pictures from the photographer on the day and publish them here or @ Tetridia.

YOU missed it - but I hold another one on the 7th November with the London Chamber of Commerce and - believe it or not you can even buy me in 0044 208 144 6655 :)

Talk soon.

Perfect little Camcorder

In order to finally enter the world of video casting or YouTube I bought a lovely little camcorder . MiniDV works well, quality is good and very easy transfer of content via Firewire to my little sweet MacBook.

Eager to upload the "Online Marketing Seminar" I pressed the wrong button and NOTHING was recorded. Lesson learned: humans can still make the best technoloy fail ;( shame on me...

I am an ESFP ...

mmhhh.. apparently - yet another one of those entertaining little applications to spend you time with online :)

But why not, at least now I know:

Extroverted (E) 65.63% Introverted (I) 34.38%
Sensing (S) 62.16% Intuitive (N) 37.84%
Feeling (F) 58.97% Thinking (T) 41.03%
Perceiving (P) 58.33% Judging (J) 41.67%

And this also means:

ESFP - "Entertainer". Radiates attractive warmth and optimism. Smooth, witty, charming, clever. Fun to be with. Very generous. 8.5% of the total population.

Free Jung Personality Test (similar to Myers-Briggs/MBTI)

Unfortunately for me - this also suggest I have chosen the wrong way in my careerlife.

What do I do now?

Its official now!

Come on click on the banner and register for the event! It would be great to see you in Berlin!

Anja at the "Youtube, Joomla, Youhoo?!" in Berlin

This sounds like an event you would find me - and of course I will not disappoint you :) As one of the speakers I will hold a seminar on "How to successful implement Online Marketing - Web 2.0"

It would be great to see you there: http://www.webgrrls-berlin.de/html/programm.html
and besides - Berlin is always worth a journey!

the amazing world of Podcasting

A few interesting sources I have already found - and probably more for my own good - added to this blog. At least this way I will easily find them again. Using iTunes does help a lot to organise, up-or download but as syncronising does not work (ie desktop pc to iPod to laptop) it is quite useless for me.

At the moment I move the content of my ipod as normal files when I need to move a file from A 2 B. Not quite the spirit of sharing or traveling - beeing a urban nomad.

Again - please send me your Podcast sources.... or just good Podcast directories.

The wonderful world of ipod & co

After trying to resist to buy one of those sparkling & shiny MP3 players - my defenses broke yesterday. Admittedly - they are much better than my old one, which I got about 6 years ago, 256MB ;) I am still trying to find out how to arrange my digital life around it, which podcasts to download aso.

Is there a way to sync desktop & laptop itunes with the ipod (transferring the files is rather painstaking and kind of defeats the purpose)

for now I found http://www.smallbizpod.co.uk/ quite entertaining...

Any recommendations?

And for a bit of Facebook fun: Videos on Youtube

I love the "infomercial parody"!

Facebook - The art of deception

I really love the possibilities the internet & online world does give us. Freedom of speech and opinions, staying in touch with family and friends (in 2000 I started my very first blog - in real HTML hand coding ) - and business of cause too, would be quite sad if this would not be the case as I am running a Internet and SEO company for over 3 years now...

Anyway - the point is - what ever you do online - be careful and know what you are doing (at least to a certain point!)

I am watching Facebook for some time now and find it is getting more and more dangerous. It is not the fun of sharing information and pictures any more. Am I the only one wondering what one _could_ do with all this information? Where A has meet B, where the rest of your family lives, that your status says you are out - giving person C the idea you might not bee at home... mmhhhh what if that person is "up to no good"?

While writing this I remembered a book which I had got from a friend about 4 years ago - "The art of deception"- "The Art of Deception is about gaining someone's trust by lying to them and then abusing that trust for fun and profit." Is nobody worried about security anymore?

Also I find it rather destructive when you do not want to use facebook to its "fullest" . People which you have meet in the last 20 years want to be friends with you - you turn them down or only allow restrictive access to your profile - they are upset! Do I now have to write apologies to all my friends?

Why would you want to broadcast your CV (and by this I mean a very, very detailed CV) to everybody in the online world? I for myself don't want to know everything about everybody - but I will admit to a certain curiosity ;)

Running Microsoft Vista on MacBook - works like a charm!

I was once again in the situation where I needed to buy a new laptop. My old one was still perfect but unbearably slow. Looking around there was not much out there as I had a few hardware specs which I did not want to give up - 13" crystal widescreen, light -about 2.3kg, easy to open & close the screen… So I ended up ... the whole story "Vista on a MacBook"

Welcome !
