[Weblife]: Forza Motorsport 4 – Hockenheim Making Of
Aug 18th
Have you ever asked yourself, how game circuits are realized? The crew of Turn 10 shows us some details about the development of the upcoming Forza Motorsport 4 racing simulation. The following video shows how the track of Hockenheim was measured with GPS and how the track is then modeled into 3D. I’ve found it very interesting especially due to the fact that the real and virtual images can’t be really determined on the first sight. Let’s hope that the new Forza Motorsport 4 game will be as excellent as the previews in this video… More >
Panini Album FIFA Women’s World Cup 2011
Jul 10th
Here are some photos of my Panini album for the Women’s Football World Cup in Germany. Have you noticed that there is no weight indication in the player’s description frame? 
That’s the main difference between the men’s Panini album. It was the first time that Panini created an album for the Women’s Football World Cup.
Hier ein paar Bilder von meinem ersten Panini Album der Frauen WM 2011 in Deutschland. Einziger Unterschied zu dem (Männer) Panini Fußball Album: Sie werden keine Angaben zum Gewicht sehen Ansonsten bleibt der Spaß gleich: sammeln, kleben und tauschen. Hoffen wir mal, dass Panini auch wieder für die Frauen EM 2013 ein solches Album rausbringen wird. More >
1 an de musique (Peugeot) – ça représente quoi?
May 8th
Cette semaine vous ne pourrez pas échapper à la pub d’un grand constructeur automobile Français (on le cite: Peugeot) qui nous fait à grand renfort de Wenospeakamericano la publicité pour ses voitures + 1 an de téléchargement offert.
Comme je fais partie des jeunes (pardon djeuns) je me suis penché sur la définition plutôt floue de 1 an de musique, et en réfléchissant un peu plus longtemps je me suis aperçu que ce n’était pas si simple de définir 1 an de musique.
[Weblife] : Lego Technic Ball Sorting Machine
Apr 25th
This is the most spectacular and technical Lego construction I’ve ever seen on YouTube. Made with thousands of Lego Technic parts, this construction will mix and sort balls in a very particular manner.
Panini Album South Africa 2010
Jun 20th
When the World Cup starts, I also begin to collect the stickers of the Panini albums. This year (like the others) I have a lot of stickers left and of course some that I’m still looking for in order to complete my album.
The following blog entry lists all stickers numbers I’m looking for and those I would like to swap.
If you have interests to swap Panini Stickers with me, please leave me a small message with your email or leave me a tweet : http://www.twitter.com/iMatD

Paper cars
Dec 16th
I’ve found a very interesting new way to build cars! It’s very very cheap : paper cars. Here are some of my favourite sites where you can download PDFs to print, to cut and to stick it up with glue: 3DPapers.com.tw or Streetpaper.de
Depending on the difficulty level, you can realize some very beautiful cars. I’ve decided to build the 360 Modena and the Ferrari F1 2000. By clicking on the pictures you can enlarge. The Modena took me (i’m a beginner, so excuse the imperfections ) 4 hours and the F1 about 5h30 to build… It’s worse to try!
