Yes. It’s a birthday! This blog becomes one today. 365 days ago I thought about 10fingertippen, and just like I said at this time, this still remains true: “Brain2Web Plugin ist noch in Arbeit.” I started bloggin with my collegues at the node3000 art and research collective. We’ve started blogging out as a experiment, to keep the individual members constantly in touch. And it really worked well and still does. The experience of blogging lead to my philosophy of sketchbooks and blogs as a research tool. And then straight to the hardbloggingscientist-project. One year ago the term “web 2.0″ was still future.

We are still very entusiastic about blogging and I really think that this is still the beginning of a deeper cultural change. An indicator for this is first: the number of conferences dealing with blogging. And the second: countless blogs I contribute to: phlow, hardbloggingscietists, digitalcouch and my doodlebox.

I am recently at the last stage of my diplomathesis, that deals with “living on the net, livin in the city”. This blog was a good researchtool for this purpose. In the future I will concentrate with this blog much more on digital tools and creative code.
