Back from Canada

Just landed in Frankfurt. I have a lot of pictures from my trip - will update the Blog in the next days. There a lot taken in Toronto - and few ones from Halifax. The most impressive what I saw, was the new bulding of NSCAD close to Pier 21 in Halifax. I love the work of architect Brian MacKay-Lyons very much - one of my favorite houses in Halifax in done by him and/or his company (http://www.mlsarchitects.ca/).

Cool Gadget #001: OQO e2

Today I did a closer look at the OQO device - model e2, the smallest full-featured PC. OQO (http://www.oqo.com) is a San Francisco based company. The founder Jory Bell was working in the design-department of Apple and did hands on the G3. The OQO model e2 is cheaper than similar Mobile Internet Devices - and the excellent design should work - in my eyes the best of all these Ultra Mobile PC's and/or MID's. Very cool looks the docking station with integrated DVD+RW/RAM. By the way the OQO design is by Nick Merz a former Apple guy. Amazing is the full HD support (1080 !!!) via HDMI interface. Best of all - comes with embedded HSDPA mobile broadband capability, unfortunatly only for people in Europe and Asia (yeahh - I live in Germany). The north-american continent is relativly underdeveloped with available high-speed Internet connectivity.

Definitly a "Build For Me Item". Would be nice to have auto-stereoscopic SeeFront 3D optics by Spatial View for it - to watch Sensio 3D DVD's without glasses. Awesome.

Currently I'm in Halifax. Meet some friends and ship my 3D stuff (a huge part of the 3D museum) to Germany.

Have the catalogue of Hagen Bäcker with me to display his works to a canadian audience.
