Do you spend a lot of time reading email? Google priority inbox is there to help. It sorts your email inbox into "important" and "everything else" based on old messages.

Here is a lifehacker article on it.

Thx to Rick Boardman for telling me.

Like four years ago, on the 8th August 2006, I ask the question:

Ok, who from the Semantic Web guys and girls is going to Burning Man this year?

I am too busy preparing my art project "God Sees" to do all the semantic web querying - last time Dan Brickley connected me to Tom Longson. This resulted in this photo


and a fucking awesome video where we explain semantic web to Mad Max (watch or skip to the end!):


and greetings to Dan Brickley:


this time I await more answers! Semantic Web and Burning Man have grown.

You go to Burning Man?
please contact me via Facebook or my email adresses,

• Look for "leobard" and "Leo Sauermann" in "The Playa Directory".
• Our camp is around Baghdad and 5:30.
• Also look for the balloon going up and down saying "God Sees". Thats our art project.

Btw: We have 2 beds in our RV for rent. Its a fair deal sharing costs, but you may need to adjust your travel plans. If you want cosy RV space, contact me.

You are not going to Burning Man but now you want? Do it. Don't move it to next year (although, 3 weeks before the event, thats usually too late to organize everything, but anyway, next year you may be dead and talking to your maker - if that happens - only Jesus can save you - so- logic or not - be there once in your life).

This is gonna be great, I know it will, as I was there 2006 (click for one line report) and 2008 on Nowhere in Spain. I love you all!

While preparing some things for this year's Burningman festival , I stumbled upon this amazing page of bullshit science toys which I, would I have the money, without exception all buy immediately.

What brought me there? I was Googling for "Disgustoscope Burningman" to see if anyone has thought about this before. I will probably do this... a cheap installation I could bring. Of course, a disgustoscope only shows what you bring in, so it would be ideal for Burningman.

Together with Ingrid, we were tinkering in the living room . I am quite proud of the result, behold what I now call the "cocktail curtain":


Finished yesterday, it consists of a bulk of LED chains, wood, color, and string curtains. All parts were on supersale, so we came out on a budget and on one week work.

The news is full of reports on 19 people who died yesterday at Loveparade in Duisburg. It is sad. I am feeling sad about it.

I specially feel sad when I look at this picture I shot on 4th December 1999 at the Air&Style contest on Bergisel:


For us, this picture was a glance around closing time of the party down to the exit on the lower left. Bernhard, Kathrina and I decided "lets go to the upper exit, too many people down there". When we drove away in the car, after 30 minutes on the road, we heard on the radio that 5 people were trampled dead on that exit. We were shocked, sad, and very sad.

When seeing a big messy crowd and there is the light feeling of "lets wait a minute until there are less people", don't take it lightly. I pray now.
