[edit] Personal Information

Hello,

I live and work in Stuttgart, Germany.

At present I work at mindXchange Ltd. as Director. I got a degree in electrical engineering. At the time I thought electrics would be more practical to earn money than my real passions, which were quantum physics and theory of relativity. Fortunatly my current field of work has nothing to do with electrics anymore.

I'm searching for contacts to scientists and researchers in the field of social software, scale free networks, bionic, mediawiki, semantic mediawiki, knowledge management, brain research,PHP and consciousness.

I can provide knowledge and consulting in the field of Wikinomics.

My greatest interest is in interstellar travelling, so I'am waiting impatiantly to the invention of the Warp drive. As consequence I'm of course passionate about everything that as to do with science fiction. So I'm a Star Wars fan and my favorite book is The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Since I like everything that is fast, I'm also a passionate skier and snowboarder. I drive a Porsche and am going to make a Gyro license, which is the nearest to flying a space ship that I can currently afford :-).

The next step to build a real space ship is to invent the space ship factory. This social network will be part of the space ship factory. I'll show how it works in the Use Case:What the heck a "Semantic Social Network" shell be good for?. As an example I'll explain how the features of this cutting edge social semantic network can help to build a social network to support the production of a flying car.

I'll take the flying car as an example because it'll be easier and faster to build and to imagine than a space ship and it'll be usefull for a lot of people from the beginning. Usefullness is very important to build a social network around the topic. If there is not a critical mass of people interested in what you want, even the best software can't help you to build a social network around the topic.

Currently my favorite Version of the "flying car" is the Gyrobike which acutally is no flying car but a one seated vehicle that flies like a gyro and drives on the road like a Kart.
