So week 165. One of those old-fashioned fragmented weeks that reminds me of why I decided a while ago that I should stop having more than two meetings on one day. Anyway. <\/p>\n
Following the weekend of Stekker Fest<\/a> craziness I had a bit of an off day on Monday. Tuesday I sat down with Ianus and Alexander to make plans for the next This happened – Utrecht<\/a>. We’ve had a bit of trouble finding a venue, getting financing and everything but it looks like we’re all set. Monday 4 October at Theater Kikker<\/a> in Utrecht, NL. Save the date. <\/p>\n From Amsterdam I traveled on to Rotterdam and spent some time at Simon’s sketching out the additions to PLAY Pilots<\/a> for the Wip ‘n’ Kip<\/a> game data. I also dropped by BUROPONY<\/a>. They might make something cool for This happened attendees\u2026<\/p>\n Wednesday I had coffee with Thieu and Godelieve at the Westergasfabriek in Amsterdam to talk about a new project which I’ve dubbed Fugu. It deals with experimental (game-like) new forms of higher education. I am taking on board two interns to help me out with that. That’ll be an interesting new experience. I also hooked up with Peter, who is now at Adaptive Path<\/a> Amsterdam. Cool building, they seem to be doing well. Nice. <\/p>\n In the afternoon on Wednesday I was back in Utrecht to talk to Ezra, who is involved with some interesting research into cycling. He’s based in Copenhagen. We discussed ways in which we might use low-tech pervasive urban games to shape cycle use. Who knows, Hubbub<\/a> might venture there to do some experiments in future.<\/p>\n I finished that day off with a review of a student presentation. Final exams is next week; that’ll eat up a lot of my time.<\/p>\n Ah what’s more? Thursday, more educational work, I attended a kick-off of the new academic year at the HKU<\/a>‘s school of art and technology. I liked the fact that all teachers were there and sat down to sync their classes and assignments in such a way that they all connected to projects students would be doing. Proper project-based art education. Good to see that happen.<\/p>\n And today I am reviewing one more student presentation and am spending some time with Alper on PLAY Pilots<\/a> and related bits.<\/p>\n Looking ahead, next week will be about the aforementioned final exams and also the kick-off of project Maguro. I have to say I am running on fumes a bit and can’t wait for next week because on friday I will head to Terschelling<\/a> for a week and unplug completely.<\/p>\n Almost forgot about Bocce Drift this Sunday<\/a>. Come along and play.<\/ins><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So week 165.
