A lot of people in our industry haven’t had very diverse experiences. So they don’t have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on the problem.

I’ve said for a long time that whoever knows most, wins. It’s not entirely [...]
Apparently our Amsterdam CD woke up one morning after having walked around the city, reacting to all the garbage everywhere and thought they should do something to get others to reflect. Super simple, but why not?
Don’t watch the whole thing though… you get the point after 10 sec.
I also like messages/thoughts that are actually questions [...]
A robot conducts a wedding in Japan, PSFK reports. I think robot stuff is really cool and everything, but it seems to me that some people (cultures) are waaaay too friggin’ robot friendly.
I wonder; when a robot is caught attempting a rape (god forbid), because it will stop at an attempt seen as the metal [...]
I really don’t get people handing out leaflets and stuff in the streets. They can do it much better. If I’m interested in what you have, I won’t know because I don’t want your piece of paper because I’ll have to through it away again, which means I have to find a paper basket [...]
A pretty good video from IBM on the internet of things. Via daytona.
URL:s are always nicer in their unnatural habitat; offline. Online, they hardly ever look anything special. They can be interesting and fun as in urlsthatactuallysaysomething, which is a bit tricky to read, just like long hash tags. That, alone, grabs your attention for a moment.

Cadbury gorilla is one response to that answer. The above another. A brilliant one. Don’t sweat pure playfulness. You can make it relevant to [...]
I am biased when it comes to discussing coffee. I’ve been buying special imported beans and grinding them myself for more than 10 years now. I guess I’m a coffee nerd. If we are born as something new in a next life; I’ll be either a bean (how dull) or a bean picker from Costa [...]

Really cool use of QR codes and very playful. And about buildings, and about connectedness; can I please have the internet of things now, please. I was at the modern museum this weekend about to see an exhibition or two. I ended up with none. The queues were [...]
I was sitting in a cafe called coffice earlier today. It’s a café where you can also work. As in getting a room to work in or have a conference. First time there, served nice Lapsong tea. Anyhow.
These two girls, I’d say around 20, were sitting behind me and a woman working on her computer [...]
