Stefan Tilkov hat mich auf dieses Diagramm von Bud Caddell aufmerksam gemacht. Großartig! Ich finde, es gibt die Essenz des Freiberufler-Seins exakt wieder.
Steve Jobs’ Rede vor den Stanford-Graduierten ist für mich ein faszinierendes Beispiel für kunstvolle Rhetorik. Er erzählt drei Stories aus seinem Leben: Sein College-Abbruch, seine Kündigung bei Apple, seine Begegnung mit dem Tod.
Wenn Sie sich das nächste Mal wie ein Narr vorkommen (so wie ich manchmal in meinen Projekten), dann wissen Sie: Sie sind auf dem richtigen Wege!
William Engelen, an artist from Berlin, started a new project in Bonn, Germany. He tries to teach Beethovens “Ode an die Freude” to the blackbirds that live in Bonn. The blackbird (in German: “Amsel”) is a very talented singer and repeats melodies that it hears in public places (countersinging). William offers a downloadable ringtone for mobile phones on his website that plays Beethoven’s famous melody in a special form, sounds like a blackbird would probably sing it. He hopes that many people install this ringtone on their mobile phones in Bonn and that the blackbirds hear it quite often and learn to sing it. The project “happens” during the summer 2007.

Today, I came across the seven liberal arts (artes liberales in Latin) which were the basis for the education of students in the middle ages. They are:
- grammar
- rhetoric
- dialectic
and
- arithmetic
- astronomy
- geometry
- music
The seven disciplines were divided into the three verbal arts known as the trivium (means: “the threefold way”), and the four other subjects that were known collectively as the quadrivium.
I can now understand easily why something is called trivial.
