New York Times Magazine

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

Alexis and me as true New Yorkers are of course super happy that the New York Times Magazine mentions semapedia in an article on QR code projects. Main focus is Roger Fischers fancy scarf.

Greek Semapedia!

Monday, March 10th, 2008

Hey there,
This is Crystal, a friend of Alexis and Stan, who kindly asked me to write a new post. I’ve been quite a fan of this project of theirs, therefore I couldn’t resist to take the step to promote Semapedia in one more language. And that would be Greek. Check out the tabs on the […]

So I recently had to let go of the iPhone Firmware 1.1.1 and upgraded to 1.1.4 and thereby jailed my phone again. Hacking it took me a little longer then I expected when I did it several month ago and I didn’t feel the need to try it again (I still have my N95), but […]
