Wow. So much to do and so much time. For more check Designboom.

So great, the great 178 aardige ontwerpers created the posters for MM09. And, they’re working on a video just now. Ain’t they just great?

Gaat ineens weer hard met de Theories about… Maar dit is al een oudje die net ineens weer voorbij kwam in een chat sessie met vriend Bjorn op Skype. Het gedoe van mail. Vast allemaal wel eens last van gehad. Je stuurt een mailtje naar iemand in een jolige bui en vervolgens breekt de pleuris

Hmm. My head has been reset to a child age since working on products for kids. Kinda living that world, which is amazing. I see animals in everything. Today I got this mailing by Grafisch Papier, a paper supplier. For all of you not in the design business. Pretend that you are, call

This morning I was preparing breakfast for the family. A weekend breakfast: fresh baked bread, boiled eggs, the full monty. And I always like to make it a party, simply because my little daughter Susa enjoys fun moments thoroughly, which is great fun. And she also surprises me. Kids simply prefer to play with the

Nevver is a great blog that combines music with film stills. Most music is refreshingly obscure and fuel your imagination to want to make a movie yourself. Neat.

On September 6th, the Nederlandse FootGolf Bond (NFGB) will organize the first national FootGolf Championships. FootGolf, a combination of football and golf, is played on official golf courses, with holes having a diameter of

Found this magical great set of images at Lens Culture via a tweet of @camathome: inside Roy Lichtenstein’s Studio by Laurie Lambrecht.

Found this post on BusinessWeek. Some great reads here, although the more businessy books become, the uglier the cover. But never judge a book by its cover, right?

Summertime means it’s time

Wow. Just came across this thing formerly known as boat. I remember when I was in Den Helder once, that James Bond 80 meters long boat was there. That was so incredibly impressive. But actually nothing more than a big boat, or a small

Can I talk on the phone while taking a whiz?
No, you can’t talk on the phone! Do you want the guy next to you to hear your entire conversation? That’s why you should only text in the bathroom. Just be sure you don’t hit the

My iTunes started auto-updating my TEDTalks half an hour ago, with the talk by Alain de Botton from TED Global in Oxford from a week ago. I instantly stopped with what I was doing to watch his talk and again really enjoyed it. He’s

Wow, this is great. Go see them all. Made me smile. T-shirt worthy stuff!

One of the sources I really like and check über-regularly is ChangeThis. ChangeThis says it creates a new kind of media: “A form of media that uses existing tools (like PDFs, blogs and the web) to challenge the way ideas are created and spread.”

The two most reoccurring discussions people start with me are about my living in Meppel and the fact that I don’t have an iPhone. In fact, in my opinion two rather boring subjects to talk about. A bit more on that iPhone matter, although it will

Always great to watch those foreseeing visions of the future. In this movie things nicely collide.

Today the Creative City Lab (CCL) launched. I’m in the Creative Advisory board. It was an interesting afternoon. I had some great talks with students and there were some great presentations. What I found really interesting and disturbing as well, was when talking about

Just received this email by Jonathan Harris. I’m a big fan of his work and at first glimpse this again looks mind-blowing. Addicted as I am on great people with great stories, that again supplied a new stream of inspiration that will possibly never dry

This is so cool:

Look at your computer setup and imagine that you hooked up a 3D printer. Instead of printing on bits of paper this 3D printer makes real, robust, mechanical parts. To give you an idea of how robust, think Lego

Today was the kick-off of StartHub, a project by Erwin Blom in which I’m also involved. StartHub will follow the Dutch tech starthub scene for a year, eventually leading to amongst others a handbook for and about startups.

Watch the kick-off:

Don’t treat people like they are going to mess things up. (because then, they will)

In a world in which information is like air, what happens to power?

New technologies and a closely related culture of collaboration present radical new models of social organisation. This project brings together

Big day, yesterday. It was Mupps submission day. Hurray! And I finally met all the team members: Arjen en Alfons of Rebel and, Alex of Maslow. Always fun to be part of project where most of the work is mostly done without

Bumped into this great movie for a what seems to be a great event:

The Denver Biennial of the Americas will be a citywide, international
