Family tree Renate Zimmerli got the inspiration for her diploma when she was an intern at the New Yorker design group »As Four« and at an Indian rag factory where she used to work as a »vintage-picker« . The encounter with the hot spot of the fashion industry and the pile of rags shaped the vision of the young designer who was born in Swiss Emmental. Her collection »rags + wipers« is based on the ideal of traditional eastern cultures, consisting of basics that can be added and combined individually. She is using fabrics from different origins, creating an atmosphere of mystery and confusion.Have a look at her diploma work [1].

Durchsuchtes Wahlverhalten - "für die Mutterschaftsversicherung" (769) - "pro Mutterschaftsversicherung" (15) - "gegen Mutterschaftsversicherung" (101) - "Nein Mutterschaftsversicherung" (3) Aufgrund dieser vier Suchbegriffe würde die Mutterschaftsversicherung zum gegewärtigen Zeitpunkt mit einem Verhältnis von 784 zu 104 bzw. 79.27% Ja zu 20.73% Nein angenommen. Die vorliegenden Suchbegriffe sollten in der Folge wohl noch ausgedehnt und auf anderen Suchmaschinen ausgeführt werden, um ein etwas repräsentativeres Resultat zu erzielen.

XFN to indicate personal relationship (lightweight FOAF) XFN is a lightweight method of annotating links to indicate a personal relationship with the person responsible for the linked resource, and as such strengthens existing links in a manner that is both machine-readable and human-comprehensible.XFN in combination with CSS2 enables a very easy way to viszalize annotations. XFN is much easier to parse and handle and from that point of view, I am sure it will spread faster in conjunction with blogs as FOAF currently is doing. It is no replacement of FOAF but a gateway drug ;-p [1] http://gmpg.org/xfn/ Comments (0) Permalink del.icio.us

Rössler Geschirr Nun, da werden sich die Brokenhäuser freuen [3]. Vielleicht wird sogar da noch der Markt spielen und die Occasionspreise in die Höhe schnellen lassen. Deshalb gilt es jetzt, soviel wie möglich von dem gelbem, oder grünen noch zu kaufen. Oder alternativ vielleicht mal einen Besuch bei den Grosseltern in Betracht ziehen; natürlich nicht ohne Blumenstrauss und einer guten Flasche Wein unter dem Arm. Gesagtes gilt nicht für mich; meine Grosseltern haben das Rössler längst abgeschafft ;-) [1] http://www.fontina.ch [2] http://www.tagesanzeiger.ch/dyn/news/wirtschaft/337790.html [3] http://www.broki.ch/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=r%F6ssler Comments (0) Permalink del.icio.us 05.

What is the public domain? What is the public domain, and why is it so important to the growth and development of a democratic civil society? Yochai Benkler, a law professor at New York University, defines the public domain in these terms: "Information is "in the public domain" to the extent that no person has a right to exclude anyone else from using the specified information in a particular way. In other words, information is in the public domain if all users are equally privileged to use it" (Benkler 1999).Just one but a strong argument to put creative work under a suitable Open Content License.

Lost and found This morning I had to check up all those places and on questioning for keys the answer was always NO. There was still one location to check up; the University.

ICT 4 Development at Geneva WSIS [2] is the World Summit on the InformationSociety adopt a Declaration of Principles and Plan of Action [3], or in other words heading for leveraging ICT for Good Governance and Development Effectiveness. While getting in contact with the people at the ICT4D booths I had also the chance to follow some of the discussions of the WSIS on the big screens. One of them was about the Digital Divide; The Digital Divide is a social issue regarding the different amount of available access to the Internet. A point in the discussion was that the price for hard- and software should be based or referred to the height of income of the individuals. Even though this is already quite a concrete task, it shows the challenge. It was also to hear and read at ICT4D that access to Information- and Communication Technologies should be seen as a Human Right. This is a strong and important statement. So ICT should not only become available for the Government or the Industry but also for the Civil Society [4]. To have access to ICT is a pre-condition of the formation of an opinion. I do not say, global information sources are not to manipulate, but I assume it is more difficult to control a civil society with individuals having their own opinion. Reading this, one can have dictatorship or totalitarian systems in mind. But that is not the point; we had elections for the Ministry in Switzerland this week. Just a few hours later thousands of people, specially women gathered in the cities for demonstrations against the results of the elections. I think that ICT is not the one and only solution for a better world. As a civil society finally has full access to ICT, it needs a) to be able to form an individual opinion and b) different structures and organisations to realize those opinions. Why do we e.g. need political parties? Once, a civil society has its ICT access, presumably a process of reorganisation or reformation of the system of (democratic) federalism has to follow up. Am I missing a point? ;-) [1] http://www.reflektor.ch [2] http://www.itu.int/wsis/ [3] http://www.itu.int/wsis/documents/doc_multi.asp?lang=en&id=1154|1155 [4] http://www.undp.org/info21/hr/hr-right.html Comments (0) Permalink del.icio.us

Microsoft and Blogging How do I get started, what tool do you recommend?As he says poeple do not really evaluate products at all, but selecting the same as the professionals do (e.g. Photoshop ) or in words of the bloggerworld, people like Dave Winer, Mark Pilgrim. He mentions Live Journal, TypePad, Radio UserLand et al. I once tried Radio UserLand but did not feel too comfortable with it. I can not tell for sure, where I heard or read about it; probably at a "Big Bloggers" site ;-) Anyway, earlier this year I came across cafelog/b2 based on PHP and MySQL, quite familiar to me. b2 has some great features but also some drawbacks. Christian Stocker and myself did quite some tuning on this tool and while we concretized the news handling for the PHP User Group we were close to enhance b2, not saying to fork it. But the code is pretty messy and so we did not. Maybe those drawbacks were another reason to write a new blogging software from the scratch, which finally lead to Kaywa [2]. I am sure we will soon be able to promote those tools to blog-novices as we have now an answer to the question above. And yes, as Robert says, it might be that still nowadays - while blogging has made enormous steps forward the past few months - people like to go for a solution that the "Big Bloggers" promote or use. Nevertheless, there are bloggers like Urs Müller, having partly different motivations to choose a blog software or eventually write an own [3]. Probably Robert could have a chat with Urs to get his blogging-code to have an alternative for his UserLand blog ;-) [1] http://radio.weblogs.com/0001011/2003/09/21.html [2] http://www.kaywa.com [3] http://www.compisoft.ch/BLOG/Default.aspx?EntryId=a9ff742e-fdcf-4c6e-a294-3167c3424e83 Comments (2) Permalink del.icio.us

Miyazaki Seagaia Ocean Dome in Japan Among the amusement facilities is Ocean Dome, one of the largest indoor water parks in the world that can accommodate 10,000 people. A sliding mechanism allows the roof to be opened or closed. The dome is 38 m high (41.8 yd.), and encloses the area 300 m (330 yd.) wide and 100 m (110 yd.) deep. Inside, there is a man-made ocean with waves and beach, and a mid-summer environment is maintained with the air temperature at 30ºC (86ºF) and the water temperature at 28 ºC (82.4ºF) all year round.[1] http://www.jinjapan.org/atlas/architecture/arc27.html [2] http://pc4.seagaia-miyazaki-b3-unet.ocn.ne.jp/index_e.htm Comments (4) Permalink del.icio.us 24.
