On Monday I let go a bunch of stalling side projects which were not going anywhere.
Blogged about the Foursquare screen we made with a video which finally wrapped up that project (try to find a slot between 12:00 and 17:00 to make it to Leidseplein on a workday).

Wrote a small review in Dutch of the theater experience De Club we went to last week. It aims to be an engine for social change instead of a traditional play, but in that respect it is somewhat lacking still. We are somewhat interested because this —creating systems that yield interesting experiences— is our work.

We are quite busy planning the next events for Hack de Overheid.
Wednesday was spent working in Utrecht and I got featured in an interview where I called out gamification for the bullshit it is at Virtueel Platform: “De keerzijde van gamification”

We are also very glad with the funding of Venus Patrol a publication that we hope can shed a new light on the relation of games and culture.
I was present at the launch of a new Dutch Literature Magazine: Das Magazin (yes, German name…).
Friday after breakfast with Dirk van Oosterbosch en Alexander Zeh, I helped out with painting the Open Cooperatie.
