What I’ve Been Up to Lately

You might be wondering what’s been going on at the Leapfrog studio lately, since I haven’t really posted anything substantial here in a while. Quite some stuff has happened — and I’ll hopefully get back into posting longer articles soon — but for now, here’s a list of more or less interesting things I have [...]

Goodbye DK, Hello NL

And that was it. After exactly one year in Copenhagen I am back in Utrecht. I enjoyed my time in Denmark tremendously, it has proven to be a great place to start my new life as a freelance designer. Now I will continue my practice over here. Different city, same international outlook. The final period [...]

Moving, Speaking

It’s final days for me. In Copenhagen, that is. July 1 I will exchange this lovely city for my home town of Utrecht, the Netherlands. The plan is to continue work as a freelance interaction designer. So if you’re interested, but physical distance has been putting you off so far, get in touch. Between now [...]

Storyboarding Multi-Touch Interactions

I think it was around half a year ago that I wrote “UX designers should get into everyware”. Back then I did not expect to be part of a ubicomp project anytime soon. But here I am now, writing about work I did in the area of multi-touch interfaces. Background The people at InUse (Sweden’s [...]

Work With Me in Copenhagen (or Where-Ever)

Here are the facts, bullet-wise (with apologies to Mr. Tufte): I have been in Copenhagen, Denmark since July 1st 2007 Until now I have mostly been working on Playyoo, doing interaction and game [...]

Goodbye NL, Hello DK

Less than a week from now I’ll exchange the lovely Netherlands for the equally lovely Denmark. I’m taking what you could call a working sabbatical. I’ll be freelancing from Copenhagen and have (pretty exciting) work lined up for the first three months. If you have a gig in social software, mobile or gaming and want [...]

Gift Outcompetes Exchange in Design Too

I just finished Eric Steven Raymond’s Homesteading the Noosphere. It’s a terrific read for anyone looking for a thorough look at the inner workings of the open source software development community. Like others, whenever reading this kind of stuff sooner or later apophenia hits and I try to tie bits to my own discipline, which [...]

Signals From the Leapfrog Offices

Or in other words, what I’ve been up to, besides keeping myself busy over at Info.nl. Reboot 8 is shaping up to be another great conference. I’m already looking forward to seeing Matt Webb and Chris Heathcote speak, among others. I’m also still thinking about doing something myself, the question is: what? While we’re on [...]

Remix en Auteursrecht (open.info.nl)

“Onlangs verscheen een aardig artikel in het Tijdschrift voor Marketing van de hand van Ferry den Dopper, waarin een aantal web 2.0 aspecten worden uitgelegd aan marketeers. Eén van die aspecten is remix – het fenomeen waarbij één of meerdere websites worden gebruikt als basis voor een nieuwe dienst. Den Dopper staat daarbij heel kort [...]

56,7 Km of Snowy Hell

56,7 km of snowy hell Originally uploaded by Kaeru.Last night I had to get from Den Bosch to Utrecht. Public transport decided to break down, we had a crazy snow storm, and the longest traffic jam total in Dutch history (over 800 km at it’s height). My only option: take a taxi. Together with a [...]
