Tate Project
Next to projects for clinct, I’m also working on a project that evolved from a course I took last semester at my faculty of Industrial Design: “Tate”.
It’s a social gaming device that connects the online and offline world and will be presented on the Intel Developer Forum in September (in San Fransisco!).

Fashioning car tyres into flip-flops
This summer, the slippers you wear could help make a difference to impoverished communities in South Africa. It might sound far-fetched, but if the founders of the recently launched Plakkies have anything do to with it, our feet are going to be doing some serious talking.
Plakkies, meaning slippers in Afrikaans, are flip-flops with soles made from recycled car tyres in a socially responsible factory near Durban, South Africa. An initiative between students of the faculty of Industrial Design Engineering at TU Delft and children’s charity KidsRights’, the super-comfortable slippers were designed by Dutch shoe maestro Jan Jansen. The colourful patterns inside the soles were drawn by children from the factory’s nearby slum neighbourhoods.

SPring Cleaning: Internet Explorer
An international campaign to convince internetusers to upgrade their aged version of the webbrowser Internet Eplorer is finding more and more support.
Internet Explorer 6 was released in 2001 and rapidlye gained market share. The browser is however 8 years old by now and heavily aged. Compared to it’s successor IE7, IE6 lacks on security protection and the support of web-standards. The call to all IE6 users out there is therefore: Upgrade to IE7, or even better Firefox, Safari or Google Chrome!
