I was invited to SIME Vienna this year to talk about the Silver Line Society Project that we did at INDIE for Microsoft NL. Here is a recording of the talk, it is in 2 parts I’m afraid. I also throughly enjoyed the presentation from my friend Pablos Holman about Hacking afterwards. He gives a glimpse [...]

 Some of you know that I carry a Big Lebowski Action Figure around wherever Igo. Kind of like a good karma travel companion. Over the past year I have taken many pictures all over the worls with him, and decided to turn it into a project with others. So it became a collaborative photography project [...]

I really like my security pattern on the Android phone (Nexus 1). Basically I can draw a pattern to unlock my phone rather than using some pin number or password. I don’t like password or pin as it is just annoying to quickly input on my phone with the keypad. I’ve seen many friends using [...]

Image via Wikipedia I really love the incredible boom of data visualizations. To me this exploding artform is really offering us a new insight into our lives.

For the past few months I’ve been working at INDIE. One of the projects I’ve been working on is the new campaign for Ben & Jerry’s. The site is the first “Give It Forward Auction” site.

I was reading Kara Swisher’s post on All Things D about the Bing demo at Microsoft. I decided to give it a show compared to Google. To me Bing fails very simply. I will be the first to admit I’m a complete narcissist when it comes to search engines. If I put in my name [...]

Here is a copy of the Power Point Presentation I used to talk about Flashmobs to the ADC in Berlin last week. I always tell my students though that the power point or other visual aids are not the presentation and generally prefer to show the video or talk as well. However it was a [...]
