Day two of the conference is coming to an end. The best paper was just awarded, called 'Usages of the secondary screen in an interactive environment', i.e. how can one use mobile phones together with interactive television. Pretty interesting stuff, read up on it if you have the chance. Many of the presentations today have…Read more EuroITV 2008 day 2

Off to the European Championships!
That's it for me for a week or so, I'll be heading for Austria and Innsbruck on Sunday, to watch a couple of games.

8 hours of media consumption per day
I know I'm in the television and cross media business, and I should be thrilled that people are availing themselves of an increasing amount of media. I should, but in truth, I'm not. A recent survey foretells that US citizens will consume an average of 8 hours of media per day by 2013. Of that,…Read more 8 hours of media consumption per day

Two teams compete, using a board game and their knowledge to score as many goals as possible. The scoring is live, they get to shoot penalties at…Read more Shooting pilots is fun

Kudos to Swedish ad agency Farfar - they look like a seriously creative and innovative…Read more And the awards go to…
Work environment
I've always heard it was important to have a good work environment. One where you could relax, feel comfortable and let the creative energy flow. I myself have a large window overlooking the sea, which is nice (but slightly annoying at times when I would rather go for a swim than work).However, my workplace pales…Read more Work environment
