Pentagon and Desigence showing off their stuff. Overall the exhibition was a bit of a letdown. These two had a decent effort, but some agencies really didn't seem to care much for their image.

Our office weren't exhibiting, so I can safely criticize others:)

@Design Forum Finland, done by Fusion.

Soft carpet, Fatboy chairs, trendy magazines, whiteboard with Post-It note SWOT.

But does this setup really make a difference after all?

Sun, lake, (instant) cappucino and cinnamon rolls. Not a bad day out.

Seems like Sonera has jumped on the consumers-as-designers bandwagon. But what's the implication of a service provider displaying hardware design ideas? How much leverage do they actually have, and are they stepping on the handset manufacturer's turf here?

It's hard to see how huge a Rolls actually is, until you happen to walk past one.

One day of lectures and workshop in UIAH. The theme was Accessible Rail Transport.

Funny to see some stereotypical art students who are yet to be muffled by the real world of budgets and engineering physical constraints going at it full speed.

The long awaited cooker hood finally got up on the wall. Now it's just the wall tiles left, and then the kitchen is ready.

Public Memo

Public Memo

Phone number scribbled on top of a trash bin. Wonder if it was born from a lack of other writing surface, or just left there in the hope the owner of the number will receive prank calls? Did the persn who wrote it notice the poor portability of his or her memo before or after writing?

I've written important stuff in the snow occasionally so as to remember to store it in my phone after a call or whatever, but that's easy to wipe out.
