op 28 maart 2008 door

Thanks to everyone at Strass Intractive, the Peking Express website is online and swinging! My colleagues designed the constraint-based space inspired in Latin American feeling, Dave took care of the Database and CMS and I flashed the lot together.

Check it out, I’m kinda proud of what we did in [...]

Shots without people

op 24 maart 2008 door

I tried to make pictures without people in them. Which, by itself, is easy enough; making them look interesting not. I removed selected colors information from the images: blue in one, green in another, to focus on the remaining colors. Check out the FlickR set, it’s interesting; I think I’ll stick to [...]

Senseo has a grip on me

Users, an essential nuisance

op 20 maart 2008 door

People often fight the automatic doors on the train. They click the handle and jam the door open, unaware of the engines that are used to this work. But then, they try to close them. These doors close automatically, so when trying to shut them, they resist. This does not scare people off. They will [...]

Cookies

op 17 maart 2008 door

We baked cookies! With eatable colorants! We have a small hot air oven that heats up quickly, so we made 3 batches during the afternoon. Safe to say it takes a bit less to grind and digest them. The little fella on the picture looks a bit like the gingerbread man!

Like all wannabe [...]

4 years in the making. Sort of.

op 15 maart 2008 door

The site’s life! Mainly because I got tired of talking about it without being able to show it, but hey: the site is life!

The first tests date from from june 2004. It was to be a wooden frame, like the ones found in dusty Natural History museums, through which you saw my street. Just [...]
