Developing a tool to assess emotions elicited by services – MSc. graduation presentation (Video & Pics)

Get the Flash Player to see the wordTube Media Player.

So… it’s been a little over a week since I did the presentation for my Design for Interaction MSc. graduation project (Developing a tool to assess emotions elicited by services), and since I went off on a short one week vacation right after that, I didn’t have the time to post the video and some photos of the presentation during that time.

But as I promised some people, today I finally got back and had some spare time to upload everything. So above,you can take a look at the video of the presentation (takes about 45 minutes including the questions round). The file is quite big (around 500 Mb) because I couldn’t (more…)

Blame Canada!

After about 6 years of my sister’s family living in Canada, I finally decided that I had to go up there for a visit, and of course, being the intelligent person that I am (or trying to convince people of such) I decided to avoid the cold Canadian winter by scheduling my visit for the warmer summer months… and warm it was!

I’m not much of a fan of hot weathers, and this was no exception. Damn it was hot. Luckily my sister’s place is equipped with a kick ass airco that kept me nice and cold.

Anyways, it was a very nice trip (more…)

Neutrality at it’s best

Winter time! Time to visit Sofia, her mom and her dad…

And while at it, take a trip to the Swiss Alps for a couple of days. Extreme cold (as in snow topped mountains) is not exactly the environment which I would enojy the most, but funnily enough, I really had a lot of fun on this trip.

Sofia’s parents were a bit harsh and took her along on one of her first (of many more to come I’m sure) Alpine adventures. And me, well… I just tagged along, complaning about how cold it (more…)

Vamos por Colombia!

Well, there’s not much to say besides the fact that Evula and I had a TERRIFIC time in Colombia. We visited a whole bunch of places which I hadn’t seen in over 15 years, so that was pretty nice… to go back and re-visit my own country before I continue going around visiting other people’s countries (not that I’m gonna stop doing that).

Anyway, we went around half the country, travelling mostly by bus to really get a good impression of what the landscapes were all about (something you don’t get to do too well while travelling by plane).

We fell in love with the fincas in Armenia, Quindio (the coffee growing farms in the coffee producing region of Colombia), we passed by Medellin during the annual Flower Festival, we visited (more…)

Periplo por Europa central

Summer 2006Ya llevamos una semana de vuelta en Delft después de nuestro periplo por Europa central. Holanda nos recibio con un “esplendido” clima repleto de lluvias, chubascos, grises nubes y viento en cantidades…. SUPER rico, sobre todo comparándolo con el clima del que disfrutamos en Grecia.

Pero bueno, empecemos por donde toca… por el principio!

Salimos de Delft el 7 de julio con rumbo a Bratislava (Eslovaquia). Vale la pena mencionar que el pronostico del tiempo antes de irnos decia que nos iba a llover y relampaguear toda la semana… y ya se van a dar cuenta en las fotos y los videos de la cantidad de nubes que vimos.

Muy bonito el centro de Bratislava. Muy bien cuidadito y se nota que es la joya turisitca de la ciudad y del pais en general. Cafes y restaurantes por doquier, a precios que comparados con Holanda eran una ganga. El resto de la ciudad por el contrario… (more…)

Athens: The Craddle of… food?

OK, back in NL again… I could have stayed for ever eating zouvlakis, baklavas and lambchops, but unfortunately it was time to come back home (I did miss my own bed though).

As any good tourist, we did a bit of the standard tour of the city (ancient ruins, agora, Plaka, olympic infrastructure…) and we even had a bit of time left to have a weekend off in Serifos, one of the famous Cyclades islands. It was a fantastic trip since it wasnt in the middle of the summer and the greeks where enjoying their easter vacations (for which most of them left the city in search of their tiny villages). So we were able to enjoy an empty Athens without chaotic traffic jams and japanese tourists flooding the Acropolis and fucking up the pictures I wanted to make.

So yes, as always, a LOOOOOT of pictures where made to record my ‘historic’ return to Athens after 10 years, so if you are one of those few interested in what ever happens in my oh so boring life, you are welcome to check out a few of the pics below.

ohhhh…. and above you can find a pic of some of our luggage on the way back! we had to borrow an extra suitcase to be able to pack all the food that Evi’s mom had in stock for us to bring. I’m not joking, it was a whole suitcase full of Olive oil, feta cheese, pistachios, almonds, dried tomatoes, baklavas, ouzo, pepper… you name it!.

And to think that we forgot to bring the olives…
