Much larger than the great gatherings you had got used to in the past and learnt to ignore. And the cause had not been thought of before. The demonstration had suddenly developed out of nothing and was still growing, nobody could say how. And nobody tried. http://www.wil.dk/story/kobbergryden 1990-12-10T10:44:59 STORY: På hylden over komfuret stod en lille kobbergryde. Sålænge nogen kunne huske, havde hun ikke været brugt i køkkenet, men derfor havde hun ikke glemt følelsen af en god varme i bunden. Hun lænede sig ud over kanten og spurgte høfligt komfuret om hun kunne låne lidt varme, nu hvor der var blevet roligt. http://www.wil.dk/design/rene_linier 1996-08-02T14:43:36 DESIGN: A so called guide to the fields of Copenhagen Municipality’s public utility company and associates.

Der er ikke meget at slå til søren med, når hun vil lave god hverdagsmad til de ældre i Brøndby kommune. Det får forargelsen til at lyse ud af sushikok Jens Rahbek. Når jeg tænker på, hvad vi bruger af milliarder på jagerfly, og jeg ved ikke hvad, fnyser han. Det sparsomme kommu­nale budget står i skarp kontrast til hverdagen i hans egen ældremadsgesjæft i Hellerup. I seniorboligernes restaurant er der råd til både sushi og champagne. http://www.wil.dk/music/doev_stum_og_blind 2009-10-21T16:38:50 http://www.wil.dk/blog/michael_vesterskov_med_band 2009-11-13T16:32:39 BLOG: 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].

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. http://www.wil.dk/web/publishing_cms_integrator 2011-01-21T14:12:52 WEB: Nomadeditions (New York) is publishing their weekly web based magazines that runs the same way on computer, mobiles, ipad and so on – all from the same files. The actual viewing is based on the javascript library Treesaver. But beneath this runs the publishing environment XierpaLib, that works both as an editorial CMS and a rendering machine for images, xml/html, and other resources, that treesaver needs. Since the summer 2010 have Torben Wilhelmsen and Petr van Blokland by means of xierpa.com developed a new desktop like version, that is just implemented. http://www.wil.dk/typography/ifontmaker 2011-05-12T15:13:20 TYPOGRAPHY: Take a few hours with iFontMaker on the iPad and tap, tap, draw, drag, pinch through the alphabet.

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. http://www.wil.dk/design/logo_forslag_til_vikasku 2011-08-20T11:16:09 DESIGN: Vikasku is a school for children and youngsters who can not be included in public school.

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. http://www.wil.dk/blog/type-design-and-automated-layout-atypi-2011 2011-10-08T09:07:02 BLOG: 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. http://www.wil.dk/web/seven_clicks_towards_mobile_first 2011-10-10T23:51:54 WEB: 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. http://www.wil.dk/design/cover_til_its_a_happy_new_year 2011-12-20T23:04:05 DESIGN: Michael Vesterskov released the single for the new year 2012.

Because this is what they say at Socialt Udviklingscenter, Copenhagen, or just SUS: "We do what we love!" That’s also how SUS should show themseleves on their redesigned website. http://www.wil.dk/blog/is-the-qr-code-bubble-losing-air 2012-11-30T15:56:06 BLOG: 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. http://www.wil.dk/blog/i-rather-not-participate-in-questionnaires 2013-02-22T23:17:48 BLOG: I do understand the need for knowledge about why we behave as as we do and what we think about this or that, maybe even how we got that opinion. It also happens that I contribute, sometimes just because it’s convenient for me or because of the actual subject – even though I not always fully know the intentions behind the survey. http://www.wil.dk/tag/dont-make-me-feel-stupid 2013-03-11T11:55:44 TAG: The Internet is OK, I think we should keep it, but now and then it happens to be so irritating. Ads, for instance, are irritating and likewise, in that connection, is the misconception that something is free because it is financed through advertisements. Personalized emails with freestyle talk like "Do you love learning ..." from a course site on Valentine’s Day. Iirritating is the endless insistence on that I should get this because someone I know did the same. I don't mind hearing (from people I know or have trust in) tell me about why the bought, but the algoritmic narrow approach to my needs is close to be insulting. http://www.wil.dk/blog/i-dont-want-to-be-scrutinized-by-a-video 2013-03-16T12:36 BLOG: Samsung has launched a smartphone which allows users to control its 5in (12.5cm) screen using only their eyes.
