I gave a talk at the Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand on the future of industrial design and interaction design’s influence . You can download the powerpoint show presentation here.
So much for smooth flying
I can now declare I am cursed. It’s monday night and i am still in Amsterdam. I showed up with Matt at the airport only to see on the blinking billboard in red LEDs under the delayed column a 8:00. I didnt know what to think at first: delayed 8 hours? 8 cabbages? No it… Continue reading So much for smooth flying
At the edge of the world…
Fun fact: Wellington is the world’s most southern capital and the only capital in the “Roaring Forties” latitudes. Oh my god, it really is the end of the world! Right now, my experience of New Zealand limits itself to my 2 kiwi friends. I’ll be having a drink and cappucino with Dave this weekend though… Continue reading At the edge of the world…

All is fair in love and biking…
Speaking of ecologies of service, I bought a bike a week and a bit ago. Not an easy task in a city that’s just swarming with them, they’re usually overpriced and demand is high, and so for the few weeks that I have in this lovely city, I didn’t want to invest 200 euros. I… Continue reading All is fair in love and biking…

I love the image of the tourist for this new image enhancing tourist remover web service… what is he, stalking someone? or just american?
To be egocentric or not to be.
Reading Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand these days, I was struck once again by her vision of society and what part the “people” as a concept play in it. She believes, and I am completely paraphrasing and interpreting here, so please don’t quote me on this that one should not follow what is socially acceptable,… Continue reading To be egocentric or not to be.
