Remo's Blog

The video of our German meeting is online:

And here my "making of" again. I still like the dog scene :-)

As I mentioned before, I really like spontaneous events. So tonight I went drinking beer with Maryam and Robert Scoble and a bunch of German bloggers and webworkers (Sebastian, Rolf, Carolin and Christian) and family members (Robert’s aunt).

That was fun.

(note to myself: I am a lousy photographer)

After a couple of pitchers Sebastian broke the ice and asked Robert to sign his book. I couldn’t resist to this peer pressure and had to get an autograph myself:

("REMO, Thanks for meeting us in Freiburg! Good luck with your business & hope you enjoy this!")

(Pssst, don’t tell Robert that I haven’t read the book yet… I just read the first chapter on the way there… I haven’t even finished the Long Tail, The World is Flat, Tipping Point, Wisdom of the Crowds… heeeeeelp… I’m suffering from information overload!!!!!)

I even did little video with Robert for this blog:

Obviously, he’s suggesting attending the LIFT conference, a conference he considers in the following years becoming one of the best Web/Tech-Conferences on the planet. Presumably I’ll be there, too.

And finally I could capture Robert at work, being a director. I love the dog scene and of course the shushing signals ;-)

@Robert:
I hope to meet you in Geneva. Maybe next time I can get the URL-thing right ;-). For the record: It was trigami.com and we’re doing something like PayPerPost in Europe. My pitch was definetely the lousiest one I ever did. I hope you don’t cut it out of your video, ’cause it’ll be definitely fun to watch ;-).

@Others:
Hope to see you soon. Don’t forget the Webmondays in Freiburg and don’t forget the Silicon Rhalley (aka Silicon Rheintal).

To cut the crap:
I enjoyed it!

(PS: Thanks to YouTube I had to wait over 45 min to let this two little videos process. That pretty much sucks. And it doesn’t even work properly yet. So if you can’t see the videos, don’t blame me, blame YouTube – and come back in a couple of hours)

Update:
Here’s Roberts report

Some other learnings of yesterday’s meeting
#1: Robert uses Google Reader as his main RSS-Reader (and subscribed 500+ RSS-Feeds)
#2: Robert loves Techmeme
#3: Robert recently bought a Mac ;-)

Ich liebe spontane Aktionen.

Durch einen freundlichen Tipp von Alfonso wurde ich auf das BlogDinner on Monday Night aufmerksam. Das Treffen ist öffentlich und man trifft sich um 6 p.m. im Martinsbräu.

Um 17:13 fährt mein Zug ab Basel ab.
