Discovered a new online service today called screenr.

It’s a online screencasting tool who also lets you post your recordings straight to twitter or youtube.

It works really well! So I decided to try out the tutorial-thing on my own.

I present my first tutorial: How to close a Firefox window! Enjoy!

Finally the day of the summer holiday has arrived! A time for sun, beach and hanging out with the gang.

OR…

Freelance work, updating the portfolio and hunting for Internships which is pretty much what I’m gonna spend my summer with.

The last days of the Hyper Island Recruitment process

were very tough but we pulled through and I am pretty satisfied with the outcome of it! Learned a ton about recruitment processes and also got a better insight about Hyper Island operates and works!

To talk a little bit about the freelance works

I can say that I recently delivered one job for >>Yoo.se!
I did an augmented reality landing page for them were the user can use the Yoo.se business card to get access to the navigation to the site. For an example print the symbol below and visit >>3d.yoo.se! You will need a webcam to get the point of the site.Yoo.se businesscard back

The new job that I started working with yesterday is to update the photographer Daniel Blom’s portfolio! Really nice guy and a very skilled photographer! While you´re waiting for me to update his site, check it out now, he got some awesome work put up. >>Daniel Blom

And for all of you visual artists

MSA Remote was recently released for the Iphone. This means you can control software such as >>Max/MSP/Jitter, >>PureData, >>Reaktor, >>VDMX, >>vvvv, >>Resolume, >>Quartz Composer etc. via the Iphone! Will come in handy for some nice VJ-performances!

Hyper Island Recruitment day #2


Posted: June 23rd, 2009 | Author: jaargo | Filed under: Hyper Island | Tags: , | No Comments »


2009

The second day of recruitment processing is over and the first batch of applicants have done their best to prove themselves, and also found out if the Hyper Island experience is something that is right for them.

After todays tasks and tests I can say that it will be even harder than I could imagine to pick out the ones that will form the new class, I can’t decide! And tomorrow the new batch will arrive! Dang this is hard!


First day of Recruitment process at Hyper Island


Posted: June 22nd, 2009 | Author: jaargo | Filed under: Hyper Island, blog | Tags: , , | No Comments »


Today was the first day doing some extra work at Hyper Island after finishing the semester last week! I’m part of an interview team, interviewing the recruits for the upcoming classes of Digital Media 11 and Interactive Art Director 10!

The process stretches over the whole week and we are interviewing and testing all the potential students. It sure is a though task to do, but I’m learning a whole lot about what to look for when recruiting new co-workers. This will be a good experience to have with me in future situations, like when I’m gonna be hiring new staff and such! ;)

All the recruits are divided into two batches that are doing two days of tests each.

More curious about the Hyper Island recruitment process? Check out the Hyper Island website!

Gah… I’m exhausted and are still not home because I’ve been borrowing Peters laundry-room while the carpenters are redoing the bathroom at home.
