jaja: Pressure Sensitive Stylus for iPad on Kickstarter
A few month ago, I was lucky to find a new project on Kickstarter that I've been waiting for a long time. You know, I like drawing and shading. Up until now, I can only do that on paper, but I'd prefer to do the same on an iPad with some great apps like procreate or SketchBook Pro. It's simply not possible for me to draw with the finger, or a stylus on the iPad, with which you can't see …
Read moreWhy Spotify isn’t the thing
A few weeks ago Spotify finally launched in Germany. Here, the music business isn't to manage as easy as in many other countries, because the artists and their work are "under protection" of the so called GEMA. But obviously Spotify got the right to let us Germans listen to (mostly) all the music on the network. Now, on the first day of the service, I signed up on Spotify with my Facebook account and I could instantly listen to all …
Read moreMy visit at Florence Design Academy
I told you in the introduction of my blog that I'm going to study Industrial Design: somewhere in the world. Until now, I'm not quite sure where exactly. Last week, I had to get to know more about an academy I'm interested in for a few month now. It's Florence Design Academy, based in the beautiful city of Florence, Italy (as the name of the school tells you) near the dome. Well, I had a meeting with one of their …
Read more7-inch e-books? Nice!
I have to tell you a little more about the new kindle fire. There are so many reviews about it, for example here and here. But I'd like to tell you some details about the way I use the kindle at the moment. Because of his 7-inch size, reading of magazines is awful. I used the 14-day trial of Popular Science to test it. Everything is so small on this display and the processor (or the software yet installed) isn't …
Read moreA burning kindle traveling across the pond
Okay, I'm really crazy about new gadgets. Actually I'm addicted to Apple products, first to the Mac, now to iPhone and iPad. But my favorite online shop is Amazon for many years now and some time ago they started to build their own products, the Amazon kindle. This eReader had been no option for me, because the kindle only had a black and white e-Ink display and I love great and saturated colors. Moreover I'm not a guy who reads …
Read morePast 365 days…
Today's evening is the last one I can say I'm 19 years old. The last day with a 1 at the beginning. This fact makes me think: "Wow, where have all the years gone by?" The last 365 days feeled like a few weeks, but there has happened so much. I graduated from school, visited Rome, Florence and Venice in Italy and so much more cities in Germany. The most exciting experience was that we released our first app at …
Read moreThe secret about (Disney and) Pixar movies
Pro 7, one of the German TV networks, declared this day to "Disney day". A lot of the broadcasted movies are from Pixar, the animation studio which Steve Jobs owned and later sold to Disney. I watched almost every Pixar movie. Every time a new film came out I was willing to go to the cinema. Many people didn't understand why I liked all the movies so much, they said: "These films are for kids, so why do you want …
