Have you ever wondered what all that fuzz about DevonTechnologies is all about? What exactly DevonAgent does more than just google? Check out [this interview](http://www.devon-technologies.com/scripts/wordpress/?p=7 „this interview“) with Eric on [Computer America](http://www.computeramerica.com/„Computer America“), a radio talk show dedicated to computers and technology — „the only daily tech show airing at midnight“.
A short tango clip called [Contrapunto](http://www.archive.org/details/Contrapunto_USA_2004 „Contrapunto“) (by Jean-Pierre Jacquet, 2004): hand-drawn animation of a dancing couple in Buenos Aires, exploring the details of the tango.
The short clip „[Tango Ghosts (2005)](http://www.archive.org/details/VJ_Mission_Tango_Ghosts „Tango Ghosts (2005)“)“ is a tango nuevo style video clip to [Gotan Project](http://www.gotanproject.com „Gotan Project“)’s Santa Maria…. Interesting visuals — the whole clip is in inverted colors, making the dancers appear like ghosts on a one-colored background. In addition the scene is shot from multiple angles, projected on top of each other, just the first few seconds are single-scene. The dancing is OK, but nothing too fancy, stylish or „high class“ — as far as Ⅰ can tell.
Much more interesting is the real background story to this clip: is creators are [Beatfix](http://www.beatfix.com „Beatfix“), a group of VJs who do stuff like this in real-time as video performance. And Ⅰ have to say, this really looks cool. Imagine the possibilities… many [more examples](http://beatfix.com/demos.php „more examples“) can be found at beatfix’s website!
Ⅰ just want to point out to all tango people out there — as well as everyone interested in the semantic web, metadata, structured blogging or whatever: [tango.info](http://end.tango.info „tango.info“) (and the [wikipedia entry](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tango.info „wikipedia entry about it“) about it) is a website dedicated to providing data on tango worldwide: places, events, teachers, festivals — tango poets, composers, musicians — tango songs, titles, CDs — and it does so in multiple languages (english, spanish and 25 more languages!). The stored data can be accessed by anyone and in convenient open formats.
Please: if anyone of you is a teacher or runs a milonga/festival: check out this site and add your information! It will make the web a better place
