It’s a really funny movie, so I can highly recommend it! I did the concept, design and programming for the official German website. Many thanks to Petra, Andy and Magnus at Tobis! Check out the website here and have fun (there’s a hidden easter egg, too): www.burnafterreading-derfilm.de.
Steven Pass — RFID icon design
Stevens Pass, WA, USA use a technology with their ski passes. They now have RFID integrated, so the passes can be used several times and reloaded. That again is more friendly to the environment. They needed an icon which showed the RFID technology and the environment aspects. So I combined the signal with the famous Cowboy Ridge and gave it an overall modern look. This icon is one of a series of icons I designed for Stevens Pass. It’s always fun.

I might end up stop using this blog (or only very rarely) as I will mainly discuss and work on different community sites. We’ll see.

Triumph der Liebe at Deutsches Theater
I went to see the play Triumph der Liebe at the Deutsches Theater tonight. It was a rococo comedy by Pierre Carlet de Marivaux. The production was directed by Barbara Frey. It was a real pleasure to see it and the stage design was wonderful! After all the pre-christmas stress this was a perfect release, although the play also had its tragic sides.
Supervising final practical exam
This week the design class at the L4 Academy started with their final practical exam. They will have to design a logo and a magazine insert or an interactive CD-ROM application for a spa hotel on the island Sylt. I’m supervising them taking care everything is according to plan.

London visit
Last weekend I spent in London with some friends. The weather was nasty, but it’s always great to visit London. I was lucky to see the new St Pancras Station. It was re-opend after 12 years. The architecture and especially the famous St Pancras Clock are very impressive! I can also recommend checking out The Big Chill House for your music pleasure, Leon for healthy, organic and delicious fast food and the Shoreditch House for hanging around or swim in the pool on the roof top (members only).

Now we also redesigned the website and set up a content management system (Typo3). Thanks a lot to Lars and Höddi at workXL and everyone who participated in the working process!
JazzFest Berlin ’07
On Saturday we went to see the Trio Riessler-Levy-Matinier and the Trio Madeira Brasil with special guests. A friend recommended this concert at the Berliner Festspiele as part of the JazzFest Berlin ’07. We had setas in the second row so we could literally here every single breath and note they played. Both bands were just amazing and Yamandú Costa — a young guitar gaúcho — just blew our minds!
Webcuts.07
Webcuts.07 — The Internet Film Fest in Berlin was a cool event this year, again! First we had a panel for our VIP guests with Karin Wehn (University of Leipzig), Marc Schleiss (winner of Webcuts.06), Eckhard Jäger (founder of Webcuts), Tillmann Allmer (interfilm berlin) and Jennifer Hoffmann (HFF Potsdam). The screening of the nominees and the award show were both fun and continued at the After-Show party. The image above shows me with the winners for Best Animation Matthieu Landour und Edouard Jouet from Paris at the ceremony. We also had a show simultaneously on an island in Second Life with our exclusive movie theatre. So, to get an idea of what you missed, check out www.webcuts.org.
