Why I love Wikipedia. My Presentation at Amsterdam’s Pechakucha Night.

A little update: Last week I had the pleasure to hold a presentation at Amsterdam’s 20th Pechakucha Night. If you don’t know the concept: Pechakucha is an open presentation format where people can basically present whatever they want. But they need to present it on 20 slides and no slide will stay on the screen longer than 20 seconds.

I presented my love to Wikipedia. It was exactly on the 18th January that Wikipedia spearheaded the web’s strike against SOPA. In other words: An ideal day to present this small big courageous platform that we profit so much from and which we sometimes give so little back. Little hint: My 10 most WTF Wikipedia articles are just a small collection of what you could find on Wikipedia. Read them. They are hilarious.

Most Likely the Future: Get to know the All-Despising Baby Skull.

Seriously? Who would have thought a while ago that we are dealing with shit like SOPA nowadays. Didn’t we all expect a more and more connected future with more personal freedom instead of a Corporate Coup? That’s why I am a bit cautious to talk about the following Cartoon as fiction. Prepare yourself for the All-Despising Baby Skull.

The Next Big Thing. Strange Cooking Shows.

The world of Meme patterns is a rich one. My trusted helper to find out what’s so funny about advice dog or Tim Tebow is knowyourmeme.com. Not yet on the list is the apparent new trend stage really really niche topical cooking shows on Youtube. The following shows are highly recommened.

Vegan Black Metal Chef – Seriously funny. Brian Manowitz from Norway mixes Vegan food and Black Metal. What could go wrong?

Here is the link to more recipes and here is an interview with Brian himself.

Culinary Propaganda Chef – Szef Bartek is a new competitor of Vegan Black Metal Chef and obviously not yet quite decided if he wants to be rather Stalin or Batman. Check it out here.

Depression Cooking – Depression cooking is not quite what you think: Clara is 94 and she gives advice on how to cook like back during the Great Depression. The lovely elderly Lady has started quite a successful concept with Depression Cooking. She sells her own DVD and I am quite sure she sells here cook book somewhere on amazon.

Did I miss a strange cooking show on Youtube that must be on the list? Let me know.

Agencies and Briefs. And here, Ladies and Gentlemen, you can see: The Problem.

I cannot really figure out whether I am disgusted or fascinated. Clearly this fictional Creative Brief is a great example on why so many Creatives think these documents are useless.

The Truth. Face It.

Thanks to Sell! Sell!

Yes. This is Advertising 2011.

Via Sell! Sell!

Meanwhile in Japan. A Kinect Hack a Day keeps the Doctor away.

This fantastic looking little Kinect hack is almost too typical Japanese. At least if you consider that it seems to be completely normal (after a little surprise) for Japanese people to pose with your evil Manga-twin in the mirror…

Catvertising. How a small Canadian Agency revolutionizes Marketing (again).

Canadian agency John St does it again. After staging Pink Pony, the mother of all award videos, last year they are now ready for the next step: a Catvertising Agency. John St: The time is ripe.
