February 23rd, 2010 · No Comments · Inspiration, Interesting, Trends, documentary
Although most people are probably aware of most things being said and shown in Food Inc. It is saddening to see how modern or civilized societies have been detached from nature and its pulse. Tomato’s all year round as well as fast-food being cheaper than grown food. Food Inc. shows us a modern food story from patented seeds by Monsanto [...]

February 22nd, 2010 · 1 Comment · Inspiration, Interaction design, Trends, technology
The official introduction of the iPad has sparked quite some discussion. Personally I don’t care at all about the specs or if it has Flash for that matter — I do care about the user experience and consumer strategy.
