Thank you for the nice words, Dori.

Welcome to the new ITPD class

So, today is the first real day at the university for the new class of ITPD students - a pack of curious people, hungry for knowledge! I really look forward to have them around here for the next two years.

Article on interaction design

Stumbled upon this interesting article on the future of product design and interaction.

Closing down for the summer

So this is my last day before my summer holiday and my desk are as clean as possible now, so I am ready for some serious relaxing before busy August. I wish everybody a nice summer!

Warm day at the office

Whoa! It's another warm day in Denmark. At this time of day half of my desk is in the sun, which makes my right hand side hot as Georgia asphalt (Lula, Wild at Heart) and at the same time my left side is in the nicely tempered shade - horrible and nice at the same time. How is that possible?

I guess studies can be harmful in too large doses...

Cradle to Cradle

I have just been at this very inspiring and enlightening presentation that Michael Braungart just gave here at Alsion. He is one of the two founders of the Cradle to Cradle movement which is a slighty different way of thinking products and business, that makes you go "Yes!!!! Why haven't anyone thought iof this before?"

He said that in stead of aiming for zero co2 emission, why not get inspiret by the nature and go for setiing a positive footprint on the environment? Let's not be driven by guilt of being here, but in stead make it a positive fact that human beings live on the earth.
