Hi, I'm Matthias. I love music, nonsense and people that don't take life seriously. I enjoy tinkering with web stuff and craft interfaces with passion. This tank is full of random things I stumble across and enjoy. Stay hungry, stay foolish - never settle.

notabene - Rapid HTML5 Prototyping on the iPad: Our goal was to explore the possibilities of the new device, especially its browser as Objective-C is really a painful environment (at least for me) when it comes to fast prototyping.

UX Lab: How can we enrich the reading experience on a screen?
“… we thought this would make a nice little lab project and sketched out a bunch of ideas how to enrich the reading experience on screen devices. We used the iPad as rapid prototpying platform to bring these ideas to life – yet in a quite rough form. We’ve compiled a selection of our favorites to share with the rest of the world. Enjoy…”

I’ve been playing around with Zepto.js, the random post functionality of this little tumblelog and my iPad. I always wanted to create an interface that displays random posts from my blog in playful way to get a daily dose of inspiration. So I created an experiment called Tumble-Times (best viewed with the iPad Safari). Maybe something that might evolve. We’ll see …
By the way: I always wanted to animate a newspaper spin effect …
