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 – and “other stuff”, being:

  • Some prep work for This happened – Utrecht #6. The line-up is shaping up nicely and we have an awesome sponsor again. Announcements will be made next monday.
  • An appearance at Visible Cities #03 which was all about urban games. I had the pleasure of sharing a table with Michiel, James and Juha; sharp folk all around. Some notes will probably find their way to the Hubbub blog soon.
  • Teaching at the HKU. Which can more or less be summed up by the tweet I posted afterwards: “Really pleased with the hands-on mentality of my design students. Feet in mud, head in clouds, as it should be.”
  • And now, on friday, some loose ends to tie up before the last weekend of my life as a twenty-something kicks off.

So there you go.
