Both is true for my bike ride to the company or to a customer!

This winter, I only met a few bikers and felt rather deserted on the cyclist’s paths. The snow on the roads was often untouched, or else there was just one solitary track in front of me. As opposed to this, the cars often stood waiting in the traffic jams on the streets along the cyclist’s path, polluting the air.

In a way, this seems strange to me. To be sure, it is more strenuous to go by bike in winter. Once in a while, it gets really cold. But mostly you arrive at your destination after a reasonably short time, and then you can warm up nicely. When skiing, people remain in the cold all day long and think it is just wonderful.

Going by bike in winter is truly enjoyable. The reason might be the white landscape or the delight in one’s own dexterity or the fact that you feel all this frozen nature around you. Or maybe it is a combination of all those factors.

I am always happy to find free content. Without, it would, for instance, be extremely costly to illustrate a blog!
I am well aware of the fact that many people have reservations about “free content”. Who protects the property of authors and photographers? Many things must be considered. Theft of intellectual property musts not be promoted, permitted, or tolerated.

You have to accept that life does not get any easier for professional photographers if they get additional competition from amateurs. How often have we experienced that technological or social change caused entire professions to disappear?

On Monday, at the UnternehmerTUM Forum, there were many inspiring discussions. Of course, most of them were about entrepreneurs and IT. One of the people I talked to told me that the means of communication “email” is now on the way down and will soon belong to the past.

In a way, he is correct. There are times when the email flood literally kills me – especially on my business account. And the need to delete them all the time is really annoying. Mind you, it happens regardless of the excellent SPAM filter letting (almost) nothing pass at our office.

But there are two things that I find particularly disagreeable:

„Open Worlds“ is what our IF forum of the year 2010 will be about. That is why we chose OPEN2010 as headline and tag. We plan to invite three women as speakers. All of them are quite familiar with science, business and society.

As our first guest, on Tuesday, March, 2nd, 2010, we will welcome Frau Professor Dr. Kathrin M. Möslein in the office building of InterFace AG at Unterhaching.

She will start with a presentation on:

Open Innovation – On the Way to a Take-Part Science!

Open Innovation describes innovative processes that do not end at the borderlines of enterprises or innovation departments. Instead, they include agents independent from their institutional affiliation as fathers of ideas, developers of concepts, or appliers of innovations when it comes to the realization of said innovations.
