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.

“We’re throwing out the well-worn assumptions about how applications are supposed to work, and are instead paying attention to the clever ways in which people have adapted software to fit their needs. These workarounds usually contain the seeds of a better solution.”

Great approach to design. I’m really sorry for these guys shutting down I want Sandy and Stikkit. Seth Godin says it best: Stand up! We get what we promote.

The future of web browsing is here. And its called Ubiquity. Watch and be amazed.
This is quite what I’ve been looking for. A combination of quicksilver and the browser. Looking forward for its progress.

Playing with my theme again
Added a two new details to my theme: A dead simple search on top and a following section at the bottom. I love tumblr’s easy templating engine but it’s a bit hard to test.

“
Very likely, in the near future, I won’t “own” any music, or books, or movies. Instead I will have immediate access to all music, all books, all movies using an always-on service, via a subscription fee or tax.
As cars become more “electronic” or digital, they will tend to be swapped and shared and used in a social way. The more we embed intelligence and smarts into clothing the more we’ll treat these articles as common property.

“I don’t know what Muxtape is (I’m far too old and lazy to look into it) but I’m sure it was great, I can tell by all the hands that went up. Yet some bunch of dickheads went and closed his server down. What has gotten into them? How does that advance their business?”
–Peter Jenner (manager of Pink Floyd and the Clash) on Wednesday at the FMC panel. He also went on to say, “If you make it illegal to walk around in the sunshine without an overcoat, you’re going to have a wave of crime in the summer.”

mrmu:
Mozilla Raindrop seems to be a very interesting open-source, people-centric messaging tool. Could be a good alternative to Google Wave.
Read the introduction and watch the video.
Sounds interesting. You gotta love the presentation style in the introduction video. The Lessig-Method meets the browser.

The litl - A startup from boston delivers a fresh netbook design approach.
It runs a custom (Gnome based) Linux with a slick interface shaped by Pentagram. Basically all things on the litl happen in the browser and live cloud.
I really like its elegant simplicity. It takes a lot of work, nerves and guts to deliver such a simple interface.

Big news overnight is the launch of Square, a mobile app supporting multiple devices that enables anyone to take credit card transactions without the hassle of merchant accounts or complicated fee structures. It’s the brainchild of Twitter inventor Jack Dorsey and with the likes of Buzz Andersen involved, it’s going to be huge. Impeccable website design by Bobby Andersen.
