This makes me think that people were right stuffing their savings under their mattress.
Different internets
One day I will write about Montreal and Québec properly. Not now though. I just came back from a fortnight among family and friends, mostly and rather unsuccessfully trying to stay away from the web. It was interesting though to get a glimpse of other people’s internets. Most of my good friends are not from… Continue reading Different internets
Map of interaction design education in Europe
So I thought I’d map out the interesting academic environments where one might find a course that relates in some way shape or form to interaction design in the broadest sense possible (notice there aren’t any web courses here). I’m interested in how these schools form the professionals of tomorrow and how the field will… Continue reading Map of interaction design education in Europe
Quote of the day
“The cupcake is a real symbol of femininity and a camp symbol of a bygone era,” says Shail. “People really respond to it and love it.” (Although, unfortunately, few people actually eat the cakes, because they tend to assume that they are poisoned or laced with drugs.) via The Guardian

Let's make this more confusing
I’ve never in my life given that answer to that question. Am I the only one? I get the feeling this is an American perspective on the role of an interaction designer. Is it the only one? I hope not. via core 77
Constant Setting
This is a little project of mine that was born over a year ago in Amsterdam but went into hibernation for a while for obvious reasons. I’m happy to consider this is my first actual contribution to the web2.0 conversation. I’d like to thank D’arcy Saum, Richard Groenendijk and Nicholas Land for helping me out… Continue reading Constant Setting

What does design mean to you?
Not interactive designer, all designers are interactive! Lovely interview of Kars here, I think that conversation embodies the misunderstandings and challenges around the concept of “just enough prototyping” (mantra that Gillian Crampton Smith pushed at Ivrea) and the need to be dependent on technology when designing or be technology agnostic.
