/**/ For a first attempt at making a short film, I think it has turned out really really well. The entire team did an amazing job. Even the music is original, which I think is rare for the 48 hour film project competition. Check out my previous posts for background …
/**/ I am back in London now. Glastonbury was another amazing experience. I arrived in London on Thursday evening with a plan on how to reach the festival fields but without having booked anything. BIG MISTAKE. I knew it was going to be an adventure getting there given my late …
How could one possibly choose between all these bands in the concurrent stages? If you have any recommendations from the line up, I’d love to hear it (either a comment or drop me a line). I am going into “digital silence” from Thursday evening (UK time). Glastonbury 2009 lineup. Read …
/**/ I guess it wouldn’t be a Glastonbury festival if it didn’t rain :-( It appears that showers are forecast for the weekend, even though it’s beautiful and clear now. I just hope that we won’t have to fight through the mud again (camera got wet in 2008, 2007 photos …
I am writing this while on a plane to London and then to Frankfurt. I am going to Germany to visit relatives for a day, close to Manheim, before heading to Munich to give a talk about Zentity at the “Repository Systems” workshop. Then, on Thursday I am going to …
/**/ The shooting of our 48h film project entry was amazing (check out my previous post). On Friday, David (the director) and Arthur (the script writer) met with the rest of the teams to find out (through a draw) the genre of the film that we had to shoot plus …
I just arrived in San Jose for the Semantic Technologies conference. It’s been a while since I’ve been to a conference on a subject that I am VERY excited about so I do hope that the program is interesting. I am going to be at the Microsoft booth as well …
/**/ My friend David is very much into film directing. While he was taking classes, he asked me to act in his film projects with his wife Sophie in the first one and other friends in the second one. It was a looooooot of fun and we even shot the …
I enjoyed reading the “The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Data” article by Alon Halevy, Peter Norvig, and Fernando Pereira of Google. Recommended.
/**/ It’s been a week since my parents left (they visited for 30 days). It was great having them around. If you’ve been following my twitter updates, you’d probably know that it was a bit hectic trying to balance work, parents, and a bit of social life. No matter how …
I would ordinary have included this as an update to my previous post about Microsoft’s Project “Natal” but I am soooo excited about the potential of the technology that I am posting a new entry. Double WOW WOW!!! I know that when Microsoft shoots a video and says that it’s …
/**/ Remember about a couple of years ago when I was considering to buy a motorbike? Few months later I went through a safety course and got my US rider endorsement. Then, last year I came very close to buying the 2008 BMW R1200GS (even put down a deposit) but …
Now, this is very cool. Even if half of what’s on the video is actually real, it’s still very exciting. This should be the way we interact with technology all around us. Wayyyyyy cool (and I am not just saying because it’s Microsoft”s upcoming addition to the living room). Via …
