This may be interesting to a few of you. I will be going if anyone else wants to go with me.

The Walter Klingenbeck Lecture

by Prof. Ralf Homann (Founder, Experimental Radio Program at Bauhaus University, Weimar)

where: Room 235 Department of Media Study, SUNY at Buffalo

when: OCTOBER 19, Tuesday 3:30pm - 4:50pm

The Bauhaus in Weimar is the first university in Germany that founded a Faculty of Media. A chair for Experimental Radio was established in 1999 and is the only one in Germany teaching radio in the context of the fine arts. This artistic practice is understood as an open field which supports interdisciplinary approaches, in the range from aesthetic operations, new technological developments and political activism.

Walter Klingenbeck was a 17 year old (Catholic) boy who founded an illegal radio station called 'Radio Rotterdam' in Munich during WWII. This radio station did never broadcast, but it did create a resistance group. Klingenbeck was discovered by the Gestapo and killed.

This event is the beginning of a lecture organized by the Institute of Distributed Creativity at the Department of Media Study in collaboration with Eyebeam (NYC) and The Thing (NYC).

I was looking at the incomming link from the western ny msuic board on the site and noticed this forum about Pano's demolatition plans where Dan posted a link to (e:metalpeter) 's journal. I had to post it to complete the circle. I mean that is what the web is about.

I made a little interactive environment (~5MB) using the shockwave exporter on maya. There is an avatar of me in the world. When you find it, it hides twice. After the last time, it speaks and becomes a link to my journal.

Now that i have reorganzied the way that the toal number of words per user is calculated, I can make quick calculations for the site. So on the home page (e:info) you can now find total words for the site listed in the site statistics. We are almost at 1,000,000 words written - 940,728 to be exact. I guess these words will get added to that. We should definately have a 1,000,000 words party. I remember when we celebrated 1,000,000 letters!

Would anyone like to host a radio show? You could send us the show on CD or we could arrange to host it live. Just IM me "paulsidekick" if you are interested.

Is there anyone who would like to be sending pictures from their phone-cam to their journals but doesn't know how. If so, feel free to IM me about that to.

So I have about 10 site projects going on and I can't decide whch ones to focus on anymore. I would tell you all about them but then I would have to kill all of you as they are top secret, hahaha.

Today my students are going to end up putting their 3D models into some web interactive format. I wish Canisius would buy at least one adequate PC for school because so many things are not possible on a mac. Not that macs are that bad, and it is getting better all the time, but one functional PC with a decent graphics card is not asking to much.
