New Year and Gamehotel
Wow 2007 started warm and cozy, at least here in central Switzerland!
Last year there was the Gamehotel event in Zurich and I thought it would be a good idea to start this new year with a look back to that event. Spot@nothing had to say this about Gamehotel (in German, ask Babelfish for a translation):

Now that things are slowing down again from the end year run in late 2006, I look forward to an interesting 2007 and more interesting IGDA chapter meetings.

How to announce a conference
Since the beginning of 2007 I received about 10 emails telling me that there will be an "Electronic Entertainment Expo" in Australia somewhen end of March 2007. All the emails contained tons of pictures and the text that I should not "MISS OUT ON BEING A PART OF THE BIGGEST SHOW IN 2007".
If the expo is as big as the amount of mails sent, they are definitely right about "the biggest show". Now this is what I call marketing. :)
Update (24.1.2007)
Another email from the same event. They really are working on getting an entry in my blacklist.
