5 secrets about me

Peter tagged me a while ago, and now I think it´s time to open my soul:

I thought a bit about some “secrets” I have, and the interesting thing is, obviously there are two kinds of secrets: Already reflected ones and those, which came up to my mind the first time, when I started to think: What secrets do I have actually??

Here are some reflected ones:

1. I am a “Teletext-Junky”. Sometimes, the first thing I´m doing when I´m coming home is, to turn on TV and read Teletext. Maybe it´s because it reminds me a lot of the time when I got socialised in the computer society, since my first computer was an ATARI 400 (never had a Commodore, arrgh**)

2. I love plants – but I kill them. Especially pot plants I have to take care of will die very quickly. I don´t know what I´m doing wrong… please help me.

3. I´ve never seen any episode of Star Wars, but last weekend I bought part 1-3, so finally I´ll be one of yours…

… and some recently reflected secrets …

4. After 9/11 I really had enough for a while of traveling to America (at those days I´ve been in New Orleans), but now I´m really looking forward going to the U.S. again: I´ll join the Semantic Web Strategies Conference in San Jose and I also will drive around a bit in Silicon Valley…

5. I think the Semantic Web will never become true (just joking!).

And now it´s my turn to tag five people: Leo, Sebastian, Chris, Michael, and Georg.

Semantic Web is the right exit scenario

Web 2.0 and Austria´s biggest Broadcasting Company

It was an exciting afternoon when three nice guys from the Austrian Broadcasting Company ORF came to our office, talked with us about Web 2.0 and the Semantic Web and made a couple of interviews with us.

On the 1st of September you can see the results if you can receive ORF 1 (and if you´re still watching good old TV…).

Markus Mooslechner from ORF will try to find answers for questions like “…is Web 2.0 already there?”, and I asked him (which you probably can´t see on TV), if Web 2.0 has already arrived at Austria´s biggest Broadcasting Company…

Since there´s no media-stream of “Newton” you might be interested in this video.
