Last week was busy again with us planning the last quarter of the year. 2013 will be over before we know it and we’re going to make the best of it. The Cuppings coffee tasting games is proceeding excellently. The game has received an updated layout and is being pushed out to be tested at select […]

Week 212
On Monday last week I returned from a fun stay in Warsaw. That same day, I attended This happened – Utrecht #17. As almost always, the talks were lovely honest accounts of how things were made. I was particularly taken with Mieke Meijer’s story about her discovery of a wood-like material made of old newspapers. […]

Week 210
Last Monday I was in Utrecht to work on site with Kars and take care of some formalities we had prepared when Kars was in Berlin. On Tuesday while I was in the train back, Kars was in Amsterdam catching up with a bunch of good friends (something I had done the night before by […]

Week 209
As you may have noticed, Alper, Simon and myself have been running a tiny app project on the side. It’s called Cuppings and it helps you find good coffee spots near you. This project grew out of a shared passion for coffee and actually started out as an idea for a coffee tasting diary app kind […]

Week 208
Last week was awesome because Kars was in Berlin for most of the week working from KANT. We have a highly functional way of working-apart-together setup which powers most of the studio’s work but there is a level of creative energy that is hard to achieve over a FaceTime connection. Besides that we also did […]

Week 206–207
I’m writing up two weeks in one go, for no particular reason other than that I was on a short holiday in Stockholm last week even though it was my turn to do notes. For shame. (STHLM is a recommended destination, I should add.) Alper wrapped up project SAME together with Sebastian. They documented the […]

Week 204
In Berlin, Alper spent time preparing for an upcoming two-day workshop on-site for SAME. He’s chewing on complicated stuff together with Sebastian, involving on-the-job learning in an unfamiliar culture. We’re looking at applying principles of self-determination theory and we need to do as much of it with analog means. No mean feat. Meanwhile, I mostly worked […]
Week 203
Last week got us into a good rhythm for our summer engagements. A quick slice from our current stack. Kars prepared and facilitated the second workshop for ASARI where tons of sketching resulted in a roughly final concept which can go up for presentation before the start of the first design and development sprint. Kars and […]
Week 217
Alper started last week putting the final touches on the code‑y bits behind a Tumblr we set up to capture a part of the things that pass through Hubbub’s semi-closed studio chat channel. Meanwhile, I did some work on a Processing sketch that would help Simon with the art for the playable infographics we’re making […]
