Cool stuff; an old project of mine still appears to be online. I designed this game (an episod­ic mul­ti­me­dia who­dun­nit) while free­lanc­ing at Plinq for Dutch broad­cast­er KRO.

Mann reminds us of the fact that fold­ers have a dan­ger­ous side too. All this GTD stuff has start­ed to make me think Allen’s work is like IA for a spe­cif­ic per­sona: the knowl­edge worker.

A piece on doing GTD with an ear­ly ver­sion of Back­pack. Still quite infor­ma­tive. Jason Fried’s com­ment on mov­ing items between pages is quite inter­est­ing too… When is “short­ly”, Jason?

A review of the intru­ig­ing indie RPG Lacu­na Part I. Recent­ly rere­leased as a 2nd edi­tion. Maybe I should buy it and give it a spin.

A how­to on lis­ten­ing to your iTunes library while away from home.

On how to set up your iTunes library so mul­ti­ple machines can tune in to the same music and stream them to mul­ti­ple sound systems.

Insight­ful post by Zijl­stra on the dynam­ics of social soft­ware; specif­i­cal­ly how objects, peo­ple and their descrip­tors inter­act. I’ve actu­al­ly suc­ceed­ed in apply­ing this mod­el to a con­cept I’m devel­op­ing for a client.

Cool cus­tom made design­er plush toys.

Thought pro­vok­ing pre­sen­ta­tion by Matt Webb about what an open, instru­ment­ed, user-trans­formable and iter­a­tive city might look like. One way to read it is a counter-cul­tur­al inter­net-lover’s view of archi­tec­ture’s future. Does that make sense?
