I’m at a great workshop today and yesterday, “Social Software @ Work” at HHU’s Schloss Mickeln in Duesseldorf. I didn’t have much opportunity to take part in such conferences – something that has to change!

Last but not least: food. Since Google Video is currently the only service that offers unlimited video size and length, it’s the choice of the moment.
