Some Geeky Web Culture Graphics
No context, no hidden meaning, just a few slightly geeky graphics that made my day. It’s likely you’ll see them again since I love them and just might try to squeeze them in somewhere, sometime.

Hack Your Chair (Open Design Chair)
Ronen Kadushin’s works blow my mind over and over again. Ronen is a Berlin-based designer, mostly he works on furniture. The twist: It’s all open-sourced & released under a Creative Commons license. You can take his designs, copy them, remix them, hack them. It’s yours for the taking. And more importantly, it always looks awesome, [...]
LeWeb fanboys and Macbook signings
Johannes said it and what can I say, it’s true:
die @berlinblase crew verwandelt sich mehr und mehr in einen haufen web 2.0 groupies. “OMG, hast du den gesehen?” #leweb ;-)
(Roughly: “The Berlinblase crew is turning more and more into a bunch of web 2.0 groupies. “OMG, did you see him?” #leweb ;)”)
So Sebastian took it [...]
Open Design by Ronen Kadushin
Yesterday I had the chance to see the opening of Ronen Kadushin’s Open Design exhibition at Appel Design Gallery, Berlin. (Thanks for the invitation, Ronen!) What’s so special? All the designs are free and open, as in open source, and released under a Creative Commons license (by-nc-sa): Designers and hardware hackers can download the plans [...]
New customized pixelated Waving Cat icon
W00t: I just got this awesome custom waving cat icon. Melbourne-based multimedia designer and pixel artist Louise K of Agmyst Studio was so kind to create this image for me. Thanks, thanks & thanks, Louise!
Eventually, after years with a simple photo of a maneki neko I have at home, this blog now has it’s own, [...]

Twitter plus Flash as a simple CMS
Patrick, one of the awesome flashers here at Panorama3000, has coded this neat flash website for an actor friend of his. Usually I’m not a huge fan of flash sites for all the well-known issues around flash (no direct links, lousy accessibility etc). What I like about this one, though, is its smart implementation of [...]
Relaunch: Slowly getting there
Slowly, but steadily, I’m getting to the point where my website looks acceptable again. To be fair, that’s only partly my achievement: The design is to a huge part based on on Boris Anthony’s theme for Joi Ito. (Of course Boris and Joi are referenced in my blog’s footer, and I’ll keep trying to get [...]
Alaska Airlines rethinks check-in, saves millions (and a lot of time)
Alaska Airlines saves millions by rethinking check-in flow: A great example of how companies can greatly improve their services & structure by simply rethinking the way they run things.
Summarizes the (must-read!) 37signals blog:
The airline studied theme parks, hospitals, and retailers to see how they handled similar situations. Then, the team built mock-ups in a [...]
Working on a relaunch
As I’m looking into a bit of an optic overhaul for this blog, the site might look somewhat odd occasionally over the next few days.
Also, if you get too much traffic through my RSS feed, please just ignore it – chances are my site hasn’t been hacked by spammers but I just ran into [...]
