If you have time to have streaming video in the background today and/or tomorrow, there is a mix of intriguing ideas happening in Munich. Live.

A couple of my friends are in Munich right now at the DLD Conference in Munich (Digital-Life-Design) (www.dld-conference.com). You can watch the streams on Livestream, if you like (http://www.livestream.com/dldconference). It is a quirky mix of thinkers, entrepreneurs, businesses, artists, musicians, authors, etc.  The schedule is at http://www.dld-conference.com/events/event/dld11_program_aid_5.html, on German time.

The topics on the schedule include museums, music, books, fashion, space, design, mobile, augmented reality, innovation, urbanism, local, etc. Monday, two tracks are going on at the same time, so you may want to look at the list to see if there is anything you’d like to peek in on.
