Glem skolebøker, sats på YouTube!
Posted by: Ingjerd Jevnaker on: June 15, 2009
Han har et poeng, gode gamle Arnold. Riktgnok er jeg ikke helt enig i den Østerisk-Californiske guvernørens siste innsparingsmetodikk hvor skolebøker droppes til fordel for sosiale medier, men han har absolutt et poeng.
En strikkende Sarah Jessica Parker
Selv lærte jeg noe i dag som jeg til tross for flere år med formgivningsfag aldri lærte: Å strikke! Ja du hørte rett. Dette noe foreldete faget har fått en ny giv på YouTube – god hjulpet av flere filmgudinner som har oppdaget strikking som det nye motetilbehør etter at små rottebikkjer ble litt for hypet opp og kanskje litt irriterende på filmsettet (Sarah Jessica Parker, Julia Roberts, Mischa Barton m.fl.).
Uansett. Kjendiser eller ikke. Jeg fikk lyst til å strikke. Jeg har nå for lengst glemt formingslærerinnens økende frustrasjon og mine svette, klamme hender og de stramme, kløende ulltrådene i puseull hvis lo klistret seg fast overalt. Men jeg har jo hatt bestemødre som er superflinke på strikking, så noe naturtalent må jo finnes der, ikke sant?
Så jeg fant frem pinner og tråd – og hva mer? Jo, Mac’en. Frem med YouTube. Og ganske riktig: Her finnes et hav av nyttige How-to videoer om nettopp strikking. I dag har jeg blant annet lært både rett og vrang og er ganske fornøyd med meg selv her jeg sitter – og strikker! Ka du trur, Bessmor?
Men jeg fant ut så mye mer. Sikkert mer enn formingslærern på skolen visste om strikking. Blant annet finnes det faktisk én måte å strikke på i Europa -”Continental”, og en annen i USA! Se blant annet denne…hmmm..smatt smatt… interressante diskurs om fordelen og ulempen mellom de to strikkemetodikkene:
Og i Norge strikker vi vrang (“purl”) på en unik måte som ingen andre gjør det, såkalt “Norwegian Purl”! (Vi MÅ jo gjøre ting litt på vår egen måte her oppe i nord…).
Formingslærer, ta deg ei bollle: Vi satser heller på YouTube…
Trenger jeg paraply i dag?

Tast inn postnummeret ditt og finn ut om du trenger paraply i dag. Mye bedre enn å kikke ut av vinduet og vurdere selv. Henter værdata fra yr.no.
Så. Trenger jeg paraply i dag, mon tro?
Crisis? What crisis?

Picked up an old Supertramp album at the amazing price of €1,00 in Berlin this weekend. The music is great – but the cover is even better: A perfect illustration of my own state of mind in the current financial downturn. Crisis? What crisis? Have you seen any crisis? Nope, didn’t think so.

Can it get any more mind dumbing? Thanks to Torbjørg for the tip.
Helvetica & Us Now: Films for the holiday?

This week, many of us have some extra time off (Ascension day in most of Europe on Thursday), so why not spend some time watching free movies? No, I did not mean downloading Star Trek on PirateBay or browsing for free porn, why not watch something you can learn something from – which is free online?e
Us Now New technologies and a closely related culture of collaboration present radical new models of social organisation. This project brings together leading practitioners and thinkers in this field and asks them to determine the opportunity for government.
Helvetica is a feature-length independent film about typography, graphic design and global visual culture. It looks at the proliferation of one typeface (which recently celebrated its 50th birthday in 2007) as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives. It is now available to stream online at Norwegian broadcaster NRKs website.
Personal project # 1: Happy birthday dad
Posted by: Ingjerd Jevnaker on: May 9, 2009
Inspired by Ji Lee and his talk @Visueltdagene in Oslo on personal projects and why you need them, I did my first personal project this weekend (unless you include the time when I disassembled my old Ikea lamp?).
Where to start and what to do?
It is my father’s birthday on sunday. Today is saturday and it is raining. I am hung over. With nothing better to do, I made my dad a video-birthday-card-thing. I only had a tape with 15 mins left on it to record and found myself with an expired license to Adobe CS Premiere. iMovie and Garageband was what I had to work with + some toys on my desk. You can see it here, but don’t tell my dad yet, as his b-day is tomorrow, ok?
The end result? Not too impressive…. or I might as well say:
It’s crap. I admit it.
But so what? At least it is a beginning – and hopefully (for me at least), more personal projects will follow….
The Bubble Project
Posted by: Ingjerd Jevnaker on: May 7, 2009
Stopped by Visueltdagene today – a conference organized by the association of graphic designers in Norway, Grafill. Heard an amazing talk by Google Creative Labs’ Ji Lee who talked about breaking loose from “the Matrix” and finding the self (youyou-time) through personal projects. But – my oh my – what projects!
Imagine if you had $3,000. Would you spend it on 50,000 speech bubble stickers? Well, that’s what Mr. Lee did. The speech bubbles were spread on ad posters across NY city – to give the people in the ads (or animals) a voice. Amazing! Watch a video on the Bubble Project from ABC News on YouTube to learn more – or simply visit the Bubble Project website – and prepare yourself to be amazed….
So, what will your personal projects be….?
Search for people

Interesting presentation by Jørgen Dalen from Halogen from last night’s UXnetwork meetup in Oslo. On the new developments in search technology and how people search is different from document search.
