Esa ja Esineet

This is something I've been working on lately...

How to have high quality video from YouTube in blogger?

For having high quality videos playing from YouTube, add
&ap=%2526fmt%3D18
to the end of
http://www.youtube.com/v/t1pDtotH64g&hl=en&fs=1
so the lines of code will look like
http://www.youtube.com/v/t1pDtotH64g&hl=en&fs=1&ap=%2526fmt%3D18

See the quality difference from the video on the previous post.

Design Museum Workshops: Esa ja Esineet 1, Teema mug

Experience for a WebTV idea...

Taking a break

The reason for this blog to be so quiet in the last months is just because the workload has increased quite a lot at TAIK.

So, for now on I'll stop writing here... I'm putting more efforts on working for my thesis and on the Design Museum project (to which the above picture relates to). Keep visiting those blogs, tips and advice are always welcome!

The Secret Life of Objects
My Final Thesis project on webTV

Oh yes, and if you are a portuguese speaker you can always visit my "social life" blog at:

Vamos pra Finlandia

... and flying north for the winter

To make the most of the last northern sunlight beams I joined a couple of pals to Nuuksio, a natural park at the doors of Helsinki. Flying squirrels are supposed to be living there; I saw none. But for a couple of times I could almost see some elves stepping out from beneath the mushrooms!

FAbRICA

In Portugal is almost impossible to make a living only from producing art, but some utopists keep figthing against the stream. One fine example was the FAbRICA exihbition organized by some good friends from FBAUL. They rented an old warehouse at Bairro Alto and joined in one exihbition a series of artistic works: painting, photography, installation, music, live performers and VJing. The show was running for 3 weekends and was featured in several cultural city guides. I gave them a hand by designing the catalogue and joined the party on the opening night... it was the perfect farewell to Lisbon!
