Stop Polizei
Gestern haben wir den Nachmitag und abend mit Stefan und Susann in Bollingen am Zuerichsee verbracht. Wir haben (verbotenerweise) Feuer gemacht und ein Glas Wein zum Essen getrunken. Auf dem Heimweg im Auto unterhalten wir uns gerade wie angenehm es ist, dass wir nun mit schweizer Kennzeichen fahren, da es vieles erleichtert, als hinter uns aufleuchtet: STOP POLIZEI !

Nokia 770 ordered
I just couldn’t resist. I need one of those:
It seems so cool. A mobile web surfing device. Integrated voice-over-IP. But no mobile phone. Build by Nokia. Using Open Source software. Yay! I just don’ know how I could live so far without one.

Seminar on user innovation
I am currently attending the seminar on user innovation at the Technical University Munich. The atmosphere is very much informal and relaxed, I enjoy that. Eric von Hippel is undoubtably the star of this community: having pursued the topic since the mid 70s (as far as I know), he also deserves this. Looking forward to the rest of the seminar… (now back to listening to the presentations :-))
By the way, Stefan Haefligers presentation was gradually moved forward, so that he is now second after the opening speech (and Karim Lakhanis presentation).
