After about six months, we have reached a a great team-achievement again.

More “explicit information” to share with you in the coming time!

Convincing TelePresence system from cisco! 

Beginning of this week, Nick and I were able to assist to a business meeting with some people in Amsterdam - Holland, based on the last TelePresence system from Cisco. Below a picture taken just before the conference start in Zurich.

This experience, I must say, was absolutely great! You really feel the presence (good product name ;-) of the other participants thanks to the high-quality video (1080p), the fact that the 3 screens are reproducing the real size of the participants, and because of the quality of the sound (CD quality). The oval form of the table with each half-part on each side of the table is also a good idea.

More information: cisco TelePresence 3000 (pdf).

Below another picture from cisco. You see the both parts and a presentation projection just below the table (another good idea!).

Paul Watzlawick's hammer - 

Philippe and Nick reminded me about the hammer's story of Paul Watzlawick, and Philippe just sent an email with this "hammer's story" from the book The Situation is Hopeless, but not Serious.

Cool illustration....of quite a lot of real situations ;-)

a man wants to hang a painting. he has the nail, but not the hammer. therefore it occurs to him to go over to the neighbor and ask him to lend him his hammer.
but at this point, doubt sets in. what if he doesn’t want to lend me the hammer? yesterday he barely spoke to me. maybe he was in a hurry. or, perhaps, he holds something against me. but why? i didn’t do anything to him.
if he would ask me to lend him something, i would, at once. how can he refuse to lend me his hammer? people like him make other people’s life miserable. worst, he thinks that i need him because he has a hammer. this has got to stop!
and suddenly the guy runs to the neighbor’s door, rings, and before letting him say anything, he screams: "you can keep your hammer, you bastard!"

Reminds you something?
