Week 155 & 156

I have some catching up to do with these. What can I say, things got in the way of writing last week’s notes. These past two weeks I have been pushing to get a new project, codenamed Ebi, off the ground. It is the next step in my involvement with the PLAY project in Utrecht. [...]

Week 149

I’m writing these notes on a train to Malmö for a change. I was there this wednesday and am back again to have a chat at Illusion Labs. I was put in touch with them by Hampus of The Astonishing Tribe, whom I visited on wednesday. TAT’s an interesting group, specialized in the design of [...]

Week 148

So, the first full week of working in Copenhagen is behind me. I’ve mostly been working from our apartment in Nørrebro. Which is fine for now but I am looking forward to getting out more, and maybe doing some coworking here and there. Wouldn’t want to turn into a real hermit here. Let me have [...]

Week 147

Well, the volcano did mess with my flight. Despite that, I am still writing this from an apartment on Birkegade in CPH, where I’ll be spending the coming 5-6 weeks. Here’s what my workspace looks like: Traveling here took up the whole of wednesday. We went by train; Utrecht to Duisburg, Duisburg to Hamburg, Hamburg [...]

Week 146

Crazy, crazy week I am glad to have survived. But wait, it’s not done yet. Tomorrow (saturday) I’ll be running a workshop in Leidsche Rijn with local young folk, for Cultuur19. The aim is to design a little social game that’ll function as a viral marketing tactic for our upcoming urban games design workshop in [...]

Week 145

It’s been a shorter week than usual due to Easter (which was a nice long weekend with friends and family, by the way). I’ve divided up my time equally between work at Layar – which for me has entered its last phase; a few more weeks to go and then I’ll be handing over – [...]

Week 144

In between the work I’ve been doing at Layar (which I can’t really tell you much about still, sadly) it’s been a relatively quiet week. On monday I got my photo taken for this book on creative SMEs in Utrecht that I mentioned in the previous weeknotes. I had a chat with Lodewijk of Stekker [...]

Week 143

I nearly forgot about last week’s notes even though I wasn’t even that busy. So here I am writing this on a sunday from the couch after having had a nice family brunch and with a La Chouffe close at hand. It’s all good. Since this is a sunday I will keep it short and [...]

Week 142

I am sat on the couch at home typing this. iTunes is on shuffle (some Burial at the moment). I’ve just had a Bi-Fi snack sausage (a guilty pleasure) and some ice tea. I was kind of hungry, but now I’m ok. Last week wasn’t as crazy as many recent ones have been. Still pretty [...]

Week 141

It’s been a while since I spent time at my own desk in the Dutch Game Garden. It was nice to do this again yesterday, having the city right outside my door and kindred spirits such as FourceLabs upstairs. I wasn’t inside the whole time though, in the morning I had another chat at EKKO [...]
