Done some first visualisation sketches for breathing_time. I keep coming back to the ink metaphor. But now I’ve made the connection with the Zen calligraphy tradition of ensō.

Last week a major hurdle was taken for this project. 1) I held my presentation for a very interested audience of around 200 students from the Design Academy in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. I was very nervous but once I got started things went OK. I only had 10 minutes so I focussed on the design […]

This was because as soon as I jumped to another day the program started slowing down to an unacceptable level. I had to figure out why that happened before I could carry on. Finding that out […]

Getting things on a map
Yesterday I continued with my Flash web app. I’d already done some tests with part of the application. For example displaying a map inside Flash.

Part of the data I want to log and show are my activities. I’ve wrecked my brain trying to think of an easy but digital way of keeping track of my activities during the day. That data should consist of a time stamp and of course my activity. I imagined an application which would run […]
