So, I finally got rid of that Misty theme, and replaced it with the GlossyBlue theme. Had to do some hacking and tweaking to loose the sponsoring part, because I do not want someone else to earn money from this blog 
Also upgraded the wordpress software to a newer version which supports tagging. So if you notice anything weird, let me know.

BTW. also check out his Free Culture book.
Thanks to David Ascher I rediscovered TED, with just amazing stuff like this acrobatic dance “Symbiotic“. While I have seen the site before, for example with the famous demo of multi touch displays from Perceptive Pixel by Jeff Han, it is just fun to watch videos and find intriguing ideas.
