Week 211

Last week, Alper was away on hol­i­day in Japan, mak­ing a coura­geous effort to drink all the cof­fee in Japan. His trav­els con­tin­ue this week, let’s hope he does not spon­ta­neous­ly com­bust.

I was joined by Simon on Tues­day for a day of work on ASARI. We detailed the design of the toy­like inter­ac­tive info­graph­ics that will be part of the web­site. After some white­board sketch­ing, I hacked togeth­er anoth­er iter­a­tion in Pro­cess­ing, while Simon put togeth­er comps in Fire­works. I also made a quick screen­cast of me click­ing through the pro­to­type and talk­ing about some design deci­sions for the rest of the dis­trib­uted team.

Oth­er notable activ­i­ties includ­ed:

• A plan­ning meet­ing on Thurs­day with the Utrecht Uni­ver­si­ty Muse­um for what will prob­a­bly be the final iter­a­tion on Beesten­bende for the fore­see­able future;
• and a quick pre­sen­ta­tion of the stu­dio for a group of peo­ple from some of NL’s most promi­nent muse­ums, who were in the build­ing for a work­shop with INTK about muse­um ana­lyt­ics.

On Fri­day, I took a break from work to vis­it my long­time friend Den­nis in War­saw where he is work­ing on The Witch­er 3.
