It’s landed – Check out the new MassiveCut-Website!
February 18, 2007
After almost a year of blogging here wordpress.com, we move to a new wordpress blog on our own server. You can reach the brand new website and our new “customizing 2.0 lab” just a click away. We plan a lot different online-activities so we had to say goodbye to the wonderful service of wordpress as a hosted environment. So we welcomed the world of hacking around in the WP-Source-Code and enjoy now the ability to install all kinds of different plugins. We want mashups and apis to spread over works over the net to your homes! Stay tuned on the technical front…
But we have also something more to announce – ahh its so awesome! Gentlemen cock your pistols and get a trip to a the “Treasure Island“!
Bye bye old blog!
(Question: Does someone know how I can move all the pictures out of this blog and import it to my own instance? )
lunch with microsofts mastermind j allard
October 7, 2006
finally i had the chance to meet J Allard the “brain” of microsoft for lunch and talk with him one to one. first i have to say he is really a nice and smart guy and he had time for all my questions…in fact he asked me more stuff then i did :) so we were talking first about how tricky it is to order lunch in a country you don’t know the words for choosing your sandwich ingredients, about his house witch he decided to renovate very colorfull and what i should see in seattle (like the libary builded by REM Koolhas, witch is anyway an obligation for me as architectur model maker & scenographical designer).
after the smalltalk part we get more to the core… :) :) :) Read the rest of this entry »
futur home & seattle artwalk
October 6, 2006
i started the day with a tour on microsofts “futur home”. it was really interessting and fancy, but also a bit scarry to see all the things taged by RFID and we as totally addicted peoples to our cellphones ( for my taste some of the ideas were a bit too much bigbrother…). back on work, i tried to do two illustrator templates of yesterdays sketches. the evening we spend some time in downtown seattle for exellent shushi and checked out the first thursday of months artwalk and see what kind of new stuff the galleries have to show…
big burgers and halo II
October 5, 2006
today i had the chance to do some sketches for a xbox360 related thingy, maybe that even will be produced if tomorrow the ideas will fit and i gonna go allright with it. for lunch we were at red robin to catch some burgers and huge french fries (they more than double length here than you will ever get in switzerlaand…they must be genetic manipulated:) to call it a day, i was invited to a user research test of halo2 for pc that microsoft will relase. sharp at 9pm i was back at my hotel to zap on abc to see jack and the others in lost’s season 3…
yeah i know… many of you guys out there would given away their last trousers to take a look at BUNGIE studios. so i was there this morning and saw things that i dont can talk about, but i have to say: it’s pretty cool :) and they like kings for microsoft so i better don’t want to mess with them or even more with their laywers ;)
after that, i’ve been too microsoft main campus join some other guys from minneapolis and see shortly Major Nelson for lunch and have a meeting for an hour with Peter Moore…
