Me and Theo felt like The Blacksmiths could use a little surprise so we arranged one!
We ordered engraved business-card holders and surprised them this morning. They all bursted into big smiles. It was a beautiful sight. It is monday. It feels like this week is going to be great. I feel great. Let's go people!

St Patricks Day

Happy St Patties Day Everyone! I hop you are all green today so you won't get pinched by anyone!
Today has been a pretty good day. Or the week has actually been pretty good so far. Monday started up really nice with the come back of DM 10, the class before us. They are back from their internships and are here to start their final projects. It's great because we really get the chance to ask them everything about internships, the industry, get tips and tricks and just network!
Good stuff!

This week we also started a new project called the Project Life Cycle. We work with a real life brief given to us by Svensk Fastighetsförmedling, a Swedish real estate agency. I'm really excited about the project and I think it can come out really good.

Good thing number 3 and 4 is; I had a fantastic talk with one of my best friends last night. Thank you E.
Today we are having a big homecoming party for DM10 with the theme: CEO's and SECRETARY HOE'S.

Im gonna add a number 5 to this too. It's 6 Celcius Degrees here today. Almost summer to me.

Have fun today and go get that green beer tonight!

Work Work Work!

Okay peeps. Here comes an update on what I've been up too.
I've had meetings with co- PM's, listened to a really nice lecture with two people from Lost Boys International from UK (www.lbi.co.uk). I have bought dinner for my roommate because it is his birthday, I have had After Work (school) with some classmates at PlayBar AND I have packed my bags to go to London!

Great day really. If I think about it.

So, tomorrow we are going to London! Im really excited! For those of you who don't really know the reason Im going to London, Im going to break it down for you.
In October we had the Experience Technology Module. We were divided into groups and given a random piece of technology. In four weeks we had to create an experience technology installation of some form, with an identity and purpose.
My group created the TRIFORCE. A really cool installation on the wall where you cold create ambient music and illustrations by moving your hand (wearing a Triforce glove) over the installation. It is a little hard to explain but it was really successful and everyone that tried it loved it. We were told to create an exhibition in Stockholm together with their class to promote these installations. The result was: 800 visitors, media coverage and a lot of experience.
A jury walked around and judged us upon many difference bases and 5 groups were announced as winners of the Exhibition. Our group being one of the winning groups. So the outcome of being a winner of this was to get the chance to go to London and exhibit what we have done. Thats why we created the Island2Island event.
