For the last year one game has become both the symbol of indie game development and also how to make a dream come true for a developer who want to make a game for the crowd. Not only has it changed how we see indie development but it has also taught us a great deal of how to approach a market which can be very hard to define. The game is of course Minecraft.
Let’s look into what the game and it’s creator is all about.
I love vintage how-to and explanatory movies showing the marvelous techniques of cutting edge science. I came across this beauty from Bing Boing and without further ado; I give you how a book was made!
Found out that Boing Boing was writing about this video back in 2008 but then not linked to this youtube video. They did however run the story once again just a few days ago and this time, linking to the video I embedded above.
I just love these which I saw at Swiss-miss! Since I am one of those people who always have at least one notebook with me where ever I go I can really see a use for this. Most of the time I have my trusty Moleskin in my bad together with a handfull of pens in at least black and red ink.

At this moment, I think that ABB is one the right path of building the first machine that actually looks like the killer robots I’ve had in mind.
I present to you; FRIDA, the concept humanoid looking friendly robot.
Let’s start by sharing an important fact before we move along with this article. I am an information junkie. For at least fifteen years I have read more then a hundred electronic articles per day about subjects which can seem almost random. For a long time I have been using Google Reader to follow sites and blogs using RSS feeds. When ever I find a site or a blog I find interesting, I just add it to my Reader account and if gets into the steady stream of articles I get on a daily basis. I have tried to use other readers but I always return to Google Reader since it is the most slimed down collection of articles which I also can use on multiple devices. But enough about the reader, what and why do I read?

There is a warm feeling surrounding wooden floors for me. Since I am currently hunting for a house I naturally also look for great ways of improving a house when I finally found it. Doing so made me find this wonderful floor which is not yet on the market but still is the first time I’ve ever seen a floor with an organic flow as this.
