A lot of changes was done on lasts weeks task, “A simple RFID interface”. To recap, we had long discussions and experiments on how to represent the seasons as physical objects. the main problem was having a coherence in the abstractions.

Working with the seasons was a good idea, but not that inspiring!A lot of changes was done on lasts weeks task, “A simple RFID interface”.

[...] with such a recognizable and personal ritual. ( also have a look at our earlier experiments with ice) [...]
