Garr Reynolds gives a very interesting presentation about how to present at authors@google. How to avoid “death by powerpoint”? What is the relation between Jazz and presentation. Great ideas and lots to learn.

So am I blogging or is it my robot 😉

Hi all,
today I came across http://de.woobby.com nice idea all around ranking of things. everybody can create rankings and rank things, the best pub, the best song of a band….

Hi all, back on blogging and back on drummin again. in the last months my son Konrad Lee Specht was born so I was busy with more important things than blogging. furthermore I have started drumming again and after several years of not playing I got myself a roland electronic drum set to be able to play in my flat. nice practice drum set!

So about drummin: browsing some archives and looking back into drummer stuff i found some videos of Jojo Mayer from whom I had some drum lectures in around 88 in Zürich. I like Jojo’s drumming style a lot and he is really big in drum’n base stuff, one of my favourite videos see below:
