Didn’t really know if I should just remove all tags and categories from this post or include each and every one of them!? As you can see, I decided on the last choice, because the Google Zeitgeist 2011 will probably inherit most of these terms.

From the rise of teenage YouTube phenomenon Rebecca Black to the death of Jackass superstar Ryan Dunn.
This is what influenced last year.

A while back I was inspired by quite a few meetings, which basically went wrong, because people didn’t know how to communicate and most of all – how to match expectations. The result was frustration from all participants and poor solutions.
This led to a comprehensive brainstorm on how to communicate, mediate and achieve success together with your clients, despite different points of view. Often times what happens is, two different worlds meet and then collide. Misunderstandings happens across the table, during inadequate briefs and other projects, because no one knows how to or understand how to communicate with people from other departments and cultures basically.

An IT-guy talking to a marketing manager is a disaster waiting to happen – especially if they have to invent something useful together! So inspired by the chaos, I made up this little film – just for fun!

If you have any interest in QR codes, if you produce or use them, if you advise others to use them or if you’re planning to, then please do yourself, the ones your intending to advise and the rest of us a big favor: Watch this amusing, but very true perspective on the use of QR codes by Scott Stratten:

“Think of it as a white-trash version of Burning Man,  but with a much lower collective IQ,  no good-looking people,  pregnant drunk chicks with cigarettes,  and empty two-liter bottles of Faygo orange soda littering the landscape”

By accident I just found this vimeo-clip called “American Juggalo” while browsing for some creative material. Well the name obviously intrigued me to click and a totally new and so far unknown world opened up to me and… completely shocked me!

The short film by Sean Dunne gives you an insight into the crazy, mentally unstable world of the American Juggalos and Juggalettes and their family. Richard Metzger from dangerousminds.net probably describes it the best way:

American Juggalo,  a new short film by Brooklyn-based director,  Sean Dunne explores (without judgement or editorializing) the distinctive youth culture of the Juggalos,  adoring fans of Christian horrorcore metal rappers,  The Insane Clown Posse. It is funny,  fascinating and disturbing in turns. Each year approximately 20, 000 juggalos and jugglettes,  meet up (usually in campgrounds far from civilization) for the four-day musical festival known as “The Gathering of the Juggalos.” Think of it as a white-trash version of Burning Man,  but with a much lower collective IQ,  no good-looking people,  pregnant drunk chicks with cigarettes,  and empty two-liter bottles of Faygo orange soda littering the landscape… As one participant reflects: “These motherfuckers made me the motherfucker who I am today.” I believe him!
