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

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
I just stumbled upon this great insightful documentary: GOOD COPY BAD COPY – a documentary about the current state of copyright and culture. It has been tucked away in my endlessly increasing list of things to watch. It’s not new, but still
I so enjoy the work created by the Tokyo based studio Projector. Especially everything they do for Uniqlo like this great catalogue calendar. Don’t forget to check out their other projects as well.

Captured and released by Joi Ito
Got this fantastic book by Guido van Nispen. Freesouls is an entry into a lively mind, the chance to travel and talk with people who banter about the future from far corners of the earth. The author, Joi Ito shares his access to these provocative change-agents with a spirit of open information and dialog. The folks portrayed have worked to make good from their passions.
The book is available as a boxed set, a limited and numbered edition and a general release. Thanks Guido!
I joined a massive Dutch design posse on a formal business mission to produce The Naked Poodle at the Business of Design Week , together with Fabrique and Leendert Mulder. Hong kong is amazing. And being part of a formal delegation is too. That opens up doors
by Vitra
I was visiting the friendly blokes at MyModern for some new chairs and bumped into this just perfect book, again designed by Cornel Windlin, who also is responsible for Vitra’s smart and elegant brochures.
Projekt Vitra is the self-representation of a successful company. And yet the book, with its intelligent essays, with its products arranged like families for a wedding photo, with historical and contemporary pictures and documents, is more than a corporate history. At times it gives a short history of design, at others an example of which architecture is able to achieve, at still others everything revolves around the transformation of the world of work, or the special features of industrial design processes. Or we witness how regional roots and skilled entrepreneurial actions can generate an independent industrial culture and how very personal relationships can lead to global networks.
I instantly ordered it when I was home. Wow.
Another trip to Seattle, this time to present the work that we did for Microsoft. I really enjoy these trips, since they nicely combine work with fun stuff, nice people and great food. Stayed in the same hotel as the previous trips in Kirkland and had a ‘Spa Arrangement’, which sounds more exotic than it
Seattle again. Besides work for Microsoft and a coffee with Werner Vogels (CTO of Amazon.com), some time to check out Seattle. Jansen is out with the Hoek family, and I took the bus from Kirkland to Seattle and got out at the first stop in downtown. Decided to explore by foot. Always enjoy walking through
Trip with Waacs crew to Milano, visiting the Salone Internazionale del Mobile Milano 2008 for inspiration and fun. We saw everything, in Milan and the fair.

Dag 1: Geland!
Precies volgens planning landden we om 13.55 lokale tijd. Had meer willen slapen maar is niet meer gelukt dan en uur of 2, dus terwijl ik dit nu zit te typen is het hier nog maar 21.14 dus eigenlijk 06.14 in NL. Hakt er wel ff in, maar doe nog gewoon nog wat
Just read a post at O’Reilly Radar about location awareness in hardware. On how location is going to be standard on new gadgets, like it already is in cars. The post discusses digital photo camera’s, so you can see where exactly you
Jochem and I travelled to Berlin, where the Real Dutch Design books were presented at the Dutch Embassy. Was nice to have a look in the Rem Koolhaas designed building and see so much real good Dutch design there.
