Moleskine bottle opener
By
Sebastian
Via Moleskinerie came Dave Bullock’s claim that you can’t open a bottle of beer with a Moleskine.I beg to differ, as Neville was my witness (I opened both his and mine at Podcastday2006). You just have to place a finger directly under the edge of the Moleskine and choose a spot closer to the spine.However, […]
Podcastday2006: Panel Blogs and Podcasts – Paradigmshift?
By
Sebastian
In the end, the most interesting panel, most likely because the panelists’ opinions were farthest away from each other. Much about Peter Kabel (JvM) has been written else where. The other panelists were Alex Wunschel from, among others, Pimp my Brain, Dieter Rappold, Knallgrau and Patrick Breitenbacher, Werbeblogger. The moderator was best prepared and was […]

As it is supposed to, the Keynote set the agenda for the day, a day of missed opportunities in my opinion. Christiane zu Salm held the keynote and talked mostly about herself, her recent tour of web 2.0 companies in the States, her being excited, her company FON. I got disinterested when she got her […]
Yesterday: Podcastday – Venue

Yesterday was loads of fun. Travel to Cologne Fair was short and easy and I was met by a shuttle-bus. Accreditation went flawless and within minutes I was provided with another bag I’ll never use and coffee. The medienforum looked like a nice-enough location, personally I think they need to do something with their carpets […]
