The lumiere project has been a collection of soundless minutes for two years now with Brittany and I collecting videos. The project is still going strong in no small part due to continued participation and support from talented people like Michael and Sam. The first four videos are still online showing rusty tools and cars moving slowly (1, 2, 3, 4).
In the department on non-moving, non-digital images factory takeover has turned one year old. It is full of images from the household's old cameras and it is a very fun thing to produce. The latest addition is a Lubitel 166 and I'm enjoying the medium format film.
This year's the new project is the new Hoist that I mentioned in my previous post. We have taken all the things we learned from making collaboration software for two years and applied it to the new product and the result is software that works like you (rather than software that dictates how you should work). It's a new paradigm for collaboration where the individual is empowered in a way you don't usually see. I'm very excited about showing off the result of 5 months development off next week when we start holding workshops.
Early mornings at Hoist HQ alone (okay, not that early) means AC/DC on the office loudspeakers while cranking out technical specifications for exciting new things.
