Word of the day: FrieNDA:

frieNDA n.

1. An agreement between friends to “non-disclose” confidences without formal paperwork, such as an NDA.
2. A necessity in the Bay Area (and beyond).

Yet another new term for me - but such a truely crucial one indeed. Jup.

This week the nomination/pre-voting phase of the Swiss Blog Awards is going to start. Already today I'll tell you who you should vote for - and who's going to win in the end. Yep, I'll be speaking on the SBAW panel and I'm partisan all the same. So:

• Category: Overall
  
  • Winner: Leumaul.
  • Reason: Loudest.
  • Vote for: Pasta and Vinegar.
• Category: Multimedia/Podcast
  
  • Winner: Starfrosch.
  • Reason: Music makes the world go round.
  • Vote for: ArtCast ;-)
• Category: Rookie
  
  • Winner: Rho.
  • Reason: Design.
  • Vote for: Blattkritik?

None of the above is using one of those big hosted blog platforms. Hm.

Ha. Made my debut on ArtCast (see 'ArtCast feat. etoy') - my first actually audible contribution to the Swiss art podcast, at last, after helping out behind the scenes for quite some time now.

But heck, I don't like hear me talk or -even worse!- laugh :)

   (Look ma, no angle bracket and no URI! No bnode. No xpath. No custom javascript scraper. It's just the ol' Web. With semantics.) » - SCREENCAST
   

Looks like the semantic web is becoming visible, touchable, screencastable - usable?
