I'm extremely thankful for the Honors Award for my work on Creative Libraries that I received from our principal at the AHO Christmas party yesterday! Accompanied by an engraved trophy, a speech and a huuuuuuge champagne hehe.. One of many gestures to boost my motivation and a great substitute for Christmas Eve/Day, which for yours truly will be spent on various flights heading for Sydney
I was caught totally off guard.... ....and I thought little league football was gonna be the last I ever saw of trophies hehehe...

Jaja da var resultatene fra Unge Talenter (Norsk Designråd) kommet! Creative Libraries (dette systemet og mitt bidrag til konkurransen) har blitt plukket ut til å være med på utstilling! Det skal også trykes i en katalog i forbindelse med utstillingen så nå er neste mission å lage presentable bilder av systemet i 300 dpi 24x24 cm....how the h#%W&????
Det er stas...men hadde vært enda bedre med en pengepremie hehe

En representant fra Akerselva Innovasjon var tilstede på lanseringen av Creative Libraries på AHO i går, og i dag ble det publisert en artikkel med første offisielle omtale av Creative Libraries på nettsidene til Akerselva Innovasjon.
(det bad-ass bildet av meg har skribenten plukket selv fra hjemmesiden min hehe....så ikke mobb!!)

Today I (co-)hosted the official opening of Creative Libraries with the all new and much appreciated forum module. For those who haven't been paying attention: Creative Libraries is a system for "creative schools" I've been working on for a little over 6 months now.
It was quite the joy to have an engaged crowd, good ol' handshake and congrats from the principle himself and even got a bottle of champagne to celebrate it in style :)

I got this newsletter from apple today. Now that's a new one. A newsletter entirely dedicated for people to unsubscribe if they wish to do so :)
Isn't that just like apple...full of confidence and user concern!
Props to the fruit..

I came accross this one on my way to school. Creative tagging hehe :)

 

 

 

 

(for you non-norwegians: "osten" means "the cheeze" and "Posten" means "the mail"....so the cheeze covering the P makes the new word....yeah...cheeze hehe)

I just figured out that the peugeot Lion project is made for the Peugeot Design Contest. Check it out!
 
This one is the winner of 2004-2005.

The following text is quite interesting...all the words are messed up, but the first and last letter is correct - this allows us (even me as a norwegian) to read it quite effortlessly desipite the mess:

Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn´t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht frist and lsat ltteer is at the rghit pclae.
