It's a big day today. Totally new site and a brand new application. I've been working for quite some time now on the new site and on the application Submerge. Feels exciting and a bit nervous to release them at the same time. Hopefully everything will work out fine, if not, please feel free to pop me a message...

I'm in Stockholm today preparing for a live broadcast from a press conference by the telecom company TeliaSonera. I'm using Wirecast from Vara Software to manage these broadcast. Wirecast is a very handy little application with which you can easily mix live images with pre-recorded material like slides and interviews and such. I use an ordinary DV-cam and I broadcast in 16:9 widescreen using H.264 and a screen size of 640x360. The result looks great and slides and such are crisp and clear. When the press conference is over I publish the movie in a channel much like the MovieGallery channels on TeliaSonera's internal network for on-demand viewing.

Started working with a new look and feel for the site today. I started looking for RapidWeaver themes that could easily be modified. My choice is a theme called BlackShadow from the italians at Multitheme. It has a lot of variations to begin with and I just plunged down in the css files to make it look like I wanted. The result is the site you're visiting right now as you read this. Enjoy!
