absence Posted: 29 Aug 2008 04:00 PM PDT Since I didn't post on Belgrade and Beyond blog for almost a month, I just wanted to apologize for being absent for the past few weeks due to intense multitasking. I was occupied with many things at a time and I'm still under high too much data syndrome, including upcoming conferences on fall, applying for [...]

Online Privacy: New Instructions and Law Regulations in Serbia Posted: 26 Jul 2008 03:02 PM PDT Serbia's Republican Agency for Telecommunications – RATEL, published the Instructions for Technical Requirements for Subsystems, Devices, Hardware and Installation of Internet Networks which have shaken up our local blogosphere and Internet community in Serbia.

No cameras or lights were used. Instead two technologies were used to capture 3D images: Geometric Informatics and Velodyne LIDAR. Geometric Informatics scanning systems produce structured light to capture 3D images at close proximity, while a Velodyne Lidar [...]

Life according to Google Posted: 13 Jul 2008 02:22 AM PDT Interesting video I really liked, presenting life 'according to' but also a world beyond Google.  It's our collective memory, memory of the world placed in the virtual space that is not the information well anymore, but much more. You only need a computer and Internet connection to reach the Akkadian Babilu (Tower of Babylon).  Music [...]

Do you like to eat? Posted: 01 Jul 2008 02:38 AM PDT I got email this morning from my old friend and colleague commenting, among other things, on my Flickr photo blog and 365days project.  One of the photos drew his attention to write these words that astonished me, because…: I was very amazed about a picture from eating Serbian women. I'm not a psychologist, but sometimes [...]

Facebook vs MySpace stats Posted: 13 Jun 2008 01:30 PM PDT The latest data via show growth of Facebook (over 115 million visitors) passing up MySpace, according to ComScore. It's disputable to say if it's MySpace or Facebook the largest social network as some of the stats are shown for U.S. market and data are variant. Anyway, there will always be users (pro &contra) of MySpace [...]
