If you for instance is watching a video, it'll stop if you look away, and start when you continue watching.<br/> It seems like a nice trick, Minority Report'ish, but then again: I think it’ll be a feature that I will turn off immediately.<br/> /blog/is-the-qr-code-bubble-losing-air 2012-11-30T15:56:06 In 2011 the use of QR code seemed to explode. It was a magic spell, a funnel to more visitors to the web site - Accio Visitors. Or was it just that cool that the lemmings started to move again. /blog/it_looks_like_a_mail_from_the_agriculture_association_but_it_might_as_well_be_fishing 2011-12-21T14:31:48 If I buy something on sales.com the response mail should come from sales.com and all links within the mail should be to sales.com. Anything else looks as a fishing attempt, and it might as well be.<br/> /web/seven_clicks_towards_mobile_first 2011-10-10T23:51:54 The net is flooded with apps - for smartphones and tablets. But web sites are still better viewed on a computer, right? So the marketing department is happy and web design is business as usual. Maybe because apps and web sites are considered as two different things, rather than two versions of the same. /blog/apps-for-traffic-information-can-be-useful-but-not-all-the-way 2011-10-08T15:26:21 I know it sounds a bit paradoxical. Usually I call to recognize randomness as a condition of life. But when it comes to traffic and road out in the public domain, I freak info. The more data available, the better, it's just like that. And when it comes to public transport ... How long time before the next train, do I sprint, wander, or do I have just the time to slip into at the bookstore. Is the train I'm in late, okay then, but do I have time to knit another row, or to think a new thought.<br/> I do not ask for the train (necessarily) on time, but on reliable intelligence so I can dispose of my available time. It may seem like a small thing, but that’s how details work of daily life. /blog/type-design-and-automated-layout-atypi-2011 2011-10-08T09:07:02 Saturday morning at the ATypI conference in Reykjavík Torben Wilhelmsen was on stage to talk about integrating type and design through templates into automated page layout for multi platform publishing such as magazines and blogs on computer, ipad and other mobiles. /blog/koeb_ikke_en_togbillet_med_denne_app 2011-07-25T22:15:55 Unfinished, ill-considered apps or apps that serve the market better than the use off it. If Apple has a sometimes paranoid restrictive approach to the formalities regarding an app you want to get into the App Store, they may have a comparable little interest in that the app works well. Fortunately, one could say, that should be the developer's task. But not everyone can not live up to this task, which also counts for DSB and the DSB Ticket app. /typography/ifontmaker 2011-05-12T15:13:20 Take a few hours with iFontMaker on the iPad and tap, tap, draw, drag, pinch through the alphabet. And you may end up with a truetype font that you can write with on any computer, whenever the font is installed. /web/your_website_is_almost_an_app 2010-12-14T16:46:12 I must admit, it’s (still) cool to have my icon right there on the iPad screen. As an app, yes, but a website can also do the trick. And website based app may sometimes even be a better solution than a native app. /typography/buchstabenmuseum 2010-12-09T10:09:26 <b>Buchstabenmuseum Berlin.</b> Why are these letters so attractive? I don't get an answer at Buchstabenmuseum, but I most certainly get a wish to look after all these servants of the announcements, sofisticated as well as monumental. /blog/vesterpost_st_cleaning 2010-03-27T19:11:32 Claim the real mayonnaise. Use Tungsram lightbulbs. Political incorrect ads are being revealed at Vesterport st. /design/dette_er_ikke_logo 2010-02-15T16:27:09 The logo is not an element, a graphical form, but the character in the way it is exposed in various contexts. Thus, the logo is not a categorism any more, but a organism, a being. /music/bites_14_free_will 2010-01-03T16:43:27 This is an extended version of the logo sound composed for the wil.dk logo. /blog/advarsel_dette_er_et_englespil 2009-12-07T15:10:50 Unpack, assemble and light. It’s so simple that I think I might have been able to it without the instruction. If it hadn't been for all the warnings. /blog/jyllingevej_er_ingen_station 2009-12-01T11:40:28 Oh yeah, noo, it’s a road, right ... <b>Jyllinge[road]</b>? Well, but everybody familiar with the S-trains in Copenhagen, especially between Ballerup and Vanløse, knows that Jyllingevej is the last station before Vanløse. And now it is no station. /blog/michael_moore_kapitalismen 2009-11-20T23:24:11 I went to see Michael Moore's film Capitalism. I did not expect me to laugh all the way through, but neither did I expect it that depressing. /blog/trademark_a_burp 2009-11-16T12:21:06 I don't think that it’ll cause any problem. I mean: Who really wants <b>a burp</b>. Compared to Deutsche Telekom’s attempt to trademark the color <b>magenta</b>? No, I don't think so. It’ll pass nice and easy. /blog/michael_vesterskov_med_band 2009-11-13T16:32:39 The concert was as a birthday present to Michael Vesterskov from the band who played at the theatre piece Det Blå Hotel [The Blue Hotel]. And gifts are, just like services, not something you pay back. You hand them along. /blog/spis_bare_faar_bording_prisen_2009 2009-06-15T20:14:05 The danish magazine <b>Spis Bare</b> is a very inspirering food-professional og well-informed magazine med professional depth and delicious presentation. /design/atypi_copenhagen_logo 2003-02-18T08:41:01 We had the napkin with the notes from the galla dinner at ATypI in Leipzig 2000, Henrik Birkvig and I on the flight back to Copenhagen, and we knew that we, together with Kim Pedersen, were about to organize ATypI in Copenhagen the year after.<br/> And already then we sketched the cliches for identity of the conference: Red-white, old-new – the font by Engelhardt that is used for street signs in Gentofte and an animated logo.<br/> The title of the conference: ‘Looking at the future in the rear-view mirror’ came later, but it was almost in the cards from the flight back home.
