A Trip down Memory lane… QuicktimeVR
While going through some rather old backups, I stumbled across a folder from 1996. At the time I was student at the Institut Superieur de Technologie in Luxembourg. One of the projects we worked on at the time was to create a navigable QuicktimeVR movie. We chose to take the Library as scenery for the [...]
New Domain, new Design
Well, after having had my little blog for nearly two years now, It was time to refresh the design a little bit. I hope you like it, although I am still tweaking it here and there. At the same time I have also decided to move the blog to a different, more obvious domain name. [...]
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to all of you! There couldn’t be a better day for me to post the following video. The text is based on a true story. In 1897, a little girl wrote a letter to the New York Sun (one of New York’s newspapers at the time). She basically only had one question: Is [...]
More Time Lapse Videos – The O2
Since it promised to be a nice and sunny day today, I decided to keep my old camera running pointed towards the O2 dome during the day to capture the view I have. The first one was recorded during the early hours of the morning and shows the dome appearing out of the fog. The [...]

Apprentice: You’re fired
As some of you know, I actually enjoy watching "The Apprentice" TV series, especially the UK version. Well, as I am in London, and somehow wanted to enjoy it even closer, I decided to apply for a ticket to go and see the Live recording of "The Apprentice: You're Fired" show, which is shown on [...]
London Appartment
Well, everything is moving ahead rather quickly. I have signed the rental agreement for an apartment in London. It is only a 10-15 minute walk away from my workplace. As such, I won't have to "enjoy" the morning and evening fun on the different means of public transport. But since it is located in the [...]
Moving to the UK
As a lot of you know, I will be leaving Switzerland after a little bit more then 7 years. I guess it will be a rather big change, especially moving from a small village near Geneva to a real city: London. I will keep you informed about the progress. I am rather excited about it [...]
