To check out all the new exciting projects, please head over to the new studio website...

happy new year everyone! thought it would be about time to post more updates and thoughts etc. to this site, alas there's no time for the long needed re-design. so a little blog seemed to next best thing. for now it's mainly about Proce55ing

Processing
02.09.03
my new weapon of choice is still in alpha stage, but already has a fast growing community of 600+ users. developed by an international open source team around ben fry (MIT) and casey reas (Interaction Institute Ivrea) and being java based it will bring programming closer to newcomers whilst giving them freedom of expression without restricting design metaphors like in flash/director.
