Week 255

By Kars | Published: July 14, 2014

This week start­ed on a high note with the open­ing of restau­rant De Klub at Vecht­club XL—the cre­ative work­space in which our Utrecht stu­dio is locat­ed. It is a love­ly space serv­ing good food and drink (includ­ing fine cof­fees) but most impor­tant­ly a great place for serendip­i­tous encoun­ters with oth­er Vecht­club res­i­dents and peo­ple from […]

Week 254

By Alper | Published: July 7, 2014

Last week was trav­el heavy for both of us but Kars join­ing me here in Berlin on Tues­day (after I got back from Barcelona on Mon­day) meant we could get things done that required our com­bined pres­ence. Most impor­tant­ly we did our sec­ond quar­ter OKR review. The OKR results were infor­ma­tive and moti­vat­ed us to […]

Week 253

By Kars | Published: June 30, 2014

We kicked off the week with a review of the lat­est sprint on Stand­ing. The app now has a com­plete­ly new look. Aside from a few final tweaks we deemed it ready to ship. For the next sprint we decid­ed to focus on get­ting the web site aligned with the new look. That same day […]

Week 252

Last week we were again in lots of talks with peo­ple for poten­tial future projects. We are get­ting a lot of atten­tion on many fronts so we are rather pleased about that. On Tues­day Nina Polak of Dutch online jour­nal­ism plat­form De Cor­re­spon­dent pub­lished an inter­view with us that we are very pleased with. It […]

Last week I was in the Nether­lands to wrap up some stuff at our Utrecht stu­dio and to dis­cuss a realign of the stu­dio (more on that lat­er!). On Tues­day I caught up with some peo­ple in Ams­ter­dam and on Wednes­day I made my way back to Berlin, just in time for the games.net sum­mer […]

Week 249

By Kars | Published: June 2, 2014

This week’s focus was square­ly on our cel­e­bra­tion of Stand­ing’s launch at Media­mat­ic. While Alper and Simon put the final touch­es on a live dis­play show­ing all active stand­ing ses­sions around the world, I got the word out about the event on social media, coor­di­nat­ed with the event pro­duc­er and got a stream­ing set­up put […]

Week 248

By Alper | Published: May 26, 2014

Most of last week for all of us was spent on Stand­ing, our app for play­ful activism which saw pub­lic release (announce­ment). Respons­es have been more than pos­i­tive and we have had peo­ple stand­ing from all over the world already. One of our biggest inspi­ra­tions, Bernie De Koven called it an exam­ple of inac­tivism. We […]

Week 247

We focused on two projects this week: SHIJIMI and Stand­ing (for­mer­ly known as AJI). For SHIJIMI, we wrote a pro­pos­al and had a meet­ing with Hei­j­mans and Rezone to dis­cuss it and oth­er doc­u­ments draft­ed ear­li­er by them. Each is a posi­tion paper of sorts, and next we need to merge them all into one […]

Week 246

By Alper | Published: May 14, 2014

A large part of our time these weeks is spent writ­ing pro­pos­als. A lot of things are head­ing our way so that’s good and it’s a wel­come change from mak­ing things, which we’ve been doing for the past months. One fair­ly crys­tallised con­cept, code­named SHIJIMI, is mov­ing for­ward steadi­ly and anoth­er, about Tokyo is in […]
