For those who didn’t know, this is the talk by Eben Moglen that inspired four students in New York to launch diaspora*, the first decentralized social network. Eben was talking about a solution though

Hmmm that's interesting. I once shortly tried out Airbnb, but quickly deleted my account after learning they want to know everything about me down to the color of my underwear. I had signed up with an

Yesterday I set out to bike 'n ride to the city. But instead of taking the train station 10 kms away I had to shorten the "bike" part and take the station in the neighborhood instead. The sudden

We have an extremely rare period of almost summer-like weather here in mid-October. So I biked to Lake Ammersee. Unfortunately, slightly too cold already for a swim. But still, I enjoyed my trip and hung

We welcome Tone Vays and Aaron Koenig in Munich — two legends of the space that we're extremely happy to have on this date! Our guests will give talks about their main fields of activity. We'll learn about

All the buzzwords were expo'ed actually. IoT, AI, Blockchain. Many booths were to visit, just like at any trade fair. Plus the presentation areas for each of the mentioned 3 main topics. As expected, the

It was the day when the heavy weather struck central Europe recently. Very very early in the morning when I happened to be cycling along on my bike (*still* up, not *already* up, of course) everything

Yes, we did say ICO. :) This time we'll be examining the current craze, which is seen as quite controversial even by some of the most libertarian-minded figures in the space. To perhaps achieve some balanced

Shot just for you. You're welcome. :) Caught me quite by surprise to randomly appear at my place out of nothing. Really strong one. Weird weather conditions lately here too. Almost like April.

Since last December we've been holding our monthly "Stammtisch" get-togethers in the Wirtshaus am Bavariapark, or, dependent on available space, in its adjacent Kongressbar. We used to have the

Here is where that conference took place that I attended. I didn't know before that the Hotel Estrel is the largest of its kind in the whole of Europe. It is located very near (or right on spot where?)

It was nice to be back in Berlin last week, after a long time. I think last time I stayed there for longer than a short gig it didn't even have the fully active Ringbahn yet. I also want such a Ringbahn

[DE] Hab mir (seit langem!) ein neues Bike zugelegt, und schon nach dem ersten Tag die erste Brute-Force-Attacke anscheinend. Ich war's nich, ich schwör! Ich hatte es am Bahnhof abgestellt für einige (Nacht-)

At a stroll around my area yesterday evening I encountered this nice pond that is declared as for fishing only. Fishermen are first class citizen here, and you're strictly forbidden to chase away their
