With the last eight at the World Cup I release the soccer icon for the PICOL library.

Here you can download the raw soccer icon.

Here you can download the soccer flag icons of the last eight.

May the best team win.

Just finished a new clip with PICOL icons for Navia Systems, a company which was founded in 2007 by four MIT doctoral students. The company’s goal is to help people make more rational, data-driven decisions by designing and building machines that make good judgements in the presence of uncertainty.
The clip exaplains the concept of probabilistic computing, also known as Bayesian inference. Enjoy watching it.
For more information you can visit the website of Navia Systems.

Here you can watch the clip with some additional information on my portfolio.

Here I found a nice presentation by Aaron Richard he made together with Freestyle Interactive, Heat, and Wieden + Kennedy on trends and innovation in mobile marketing.

»The purpose of this deck was to delve into advertising on the third screen (mobile) in this new fifth dimension—where data and information exists in a cloud all around you. This fifth dimension isn’t quite tangible without a device, but if you have an iPhone you can look at a restaurant through your phone and see every review that people left on Yelp or all the tweets tagged with that location.« Aaron Richard

For all the german readers of the PICOL Blog. On October 20th there will be a feature by the director Mike Schaefer in the show “Quarks & Co” on the TV channel WDR.
The episode is called “Die Macht des Internets”. The feature of Mike Schaefer uses parts of the animation “History of the Internet” and for this episode we developed two more takes, which show the Internet of today. In this feature Mike made an very interesting interview with Lawrence Roberts, who was chief scientist at the ARPA.

For more information visit the website of “Quarks & Co“.
Don´t miss the show.

UPDATE: You can download the whole episode here (97MB | MP4)

And now clip 3 of 3 – “Überhangmandate” (overhang seat – i hope that´s a correct translation). For further information click here.
