The video 'Little boy crosses the border', which shows a very young boy crossing the border on his little red fire engine car, showing his passport to the custom officers, has *almost* thousand hits. Every day I have a look if the video has reached the magic number of 1000 views, but every day it is still just under thousand views. Today it is at 986, 14 more views to go. Shouldn't be so hard to get 14 views in a day... maybe this blog entry will help to get the first 1000 hits.

This image probably shows very well the atmosphere of the Video Vortex conference in Split, Croatia in May 2009. On the photo you can see the symposium participants hiding in the shadow in front of the Multi Media Center enjoying a short break. It was too hot to be sitting in the sun.



This photo shows the view from the Multi Media Center towards the center of the town. Not far behind the houses on the photo is the beautiful sea side, with the many bars, terraces, beach and harbour. Oscar says that Split looks like China on this photo...

This photo shows what Split looked like for us, the participants of the symposium. We spent most of the day in the dark, attending the lectures inside the Multi Media Center. The presentations were all very nice, but unfortunately the Video Vortex program was so full, there was not much time to go for a walk and enjoy the city. Hopefully some other time.

This week is the time for my yearly workshop internet at Famul Stuart, School of Applied Arts in Ljubljana, Slovenia. After torturing the students with HTML and CSS during the years before, this year the workshop focuses on presenting videos and photos on youtube and similar web 2.0 platforms. As a first step I created a playlist with videos from Famul Stuart students. You can see them here:
