While I’m most of the time always ‘connected’ with my laptop and/or my mobile phone, for this years’ summer holidays I decided to opt for a completely disconnected vacation. I felt a healthy need to get away for a couple weeks from a social media overload - and guess what? I didn’t miss my email […]

It’s strange sometimes how things come and go (and come back) on the internet these days. After having been tagged earlier this year by Helen and Enrique, I blogged previously 5 Things you might not know about me. Recently, I got tagged twice again, but now with 8 Random Things by Heike Scholz and Jonathan […]

Love it or hate it - do or don’t - but many of us Personalise and Customise our phones - whether it be internalised modification - wallpapers, ringtones, screensavers, or through external modification - stickers, express-clip on covers, mutilation (yes in Tokyo I met a guy who melted his phone “making it individual” and […]

Due to the Host of the Year Award from the Carnival of the Mobilists, I won last week at the Global Peer Awards in Barcelona, Irene Rengel did an interview with me on my work, the mobilists and some predictions in mobile, you can read it here (spanish only): Irene previously did an article on […]

As last year, I would like to bring to your attention the humanitarian NGO specialising in emergency telecommunications, called Télécoms Sans Frontières (TSF), also known as “Telecoms without Borders” or “Communications for Life“. Just as reporters or doctors of the same named humanitarion organizations, TSF is bringing the first aid communication infrastructure to catastrophy […]

If you haven’t heard it yet, James Brown died of congestive heart failure on Christmas morning in Atlanta. He was 73. He indelibly transformed 20th-century music re-inventing existing R&B and Soul rhythms to create Funk.
I like to remember him in his most creative period, from the mid sixties to the early seventies. I saw him […]

My blogging rhythm the last weeks must have been as slow as Miles Davis‘ cool jazz tempo in the fifties. Not to be understood in the negative sense of ‘coolness’ of course, because those records are really great!
The reason is that I have started working on (probably) some of the most exciting projects currently in […]
