I'm trying to set up a new Q&A site about Product design on StackExchange. StackExchange provides the infrastructure for community owned Q&A websites, and they ask for a number of people to start following it before they launch a topic site in earnest. I started the one for Product design. Now it is in need of a kick start. Why don't you come in and give it a push. Join and start following, contribute to the example questions, share it with fellow industrial designers so that we have a nice system to share our know how.
Since December 2009, I have been working together with Ms. İdil Tunga, an incredibly fast-learning young lady who is a veteran of Umeå like myself. Since she came in, she sprouted a deeply growing talent in sound design, and went through the task of designing sounds in two sizable projects all by herself. Two makes a team. Wow!
Going back to Umeå for the 20th anniversary of Designhögskolan to reconnect with friends and colleagues. I will be out of office between December 2-9 2009
Going to New Zealand to spend a week at the Victoria University of Wellington — School of Design and I will hopefully return with interesting news.
Working from home is great, but sometimes it is better to have people around. My schoolmate and friend Yunus Tunak was kind enough to rent a spare office in his company to me. So now I have the four(update: eight, talk about growth) nice people at Spacesheep to bug whenever I feel like the work is eating away at me.
