  • Going viral: old-fashioned

    Going viral the old-fashioned way, without AI. We didn’t ask ChatGPT. We asked Otis.

    When they say what happens in Milan stays in Milan… they clearly haven’t met Otis! The Salone del Mobile.Milano might be the world’s biggest design event, but our post-show celebration turned into something even bigger.
    They say you need a dancing llama to go viral. Well, we didn’t.

    These numbers continue to amaze me:

    •  4.5M views
    • 228K likes
    • 45K new design enthusiasts joining the JORI journey

    But here’s what really matters: behind these numbers are real people connecting with authentic design. Every like, share, and comment represents someone who paused their scrolling because they saw something that spoke to them.

    Who needs a dancing llama when you have these content creation secrets?

    • In the particular lies the universal: people connect with designs they can relate to.
    • Let the images do the talking, that’s why video was invented.
    • Show up consistently, respond in each person’s preferred language, and demonstrate authenticity through actions.
    • And don’t forget to hope for a sprinkle of algorithmic luck.

    A special thanks to everybody at JORI, Otis for capturing the magic & Koen Verhaert for designing the Como.

  • QRaft, a QR generator build with love and mainly AI.

    Today I explored Windsurf.ai, because there’s really no better way to learn something new than by diving in and trying it yourself. Windsurf is a no-code AI builder that lets you create powerful tools and apps just by describing what you want in plain language. Whether you’re generating QR codes, building smart forms, or launching full-on mini apps, it takes care of the backend while you focus on the idea. It’s like having an AI co-founder who actually ships your concepts — fast. QRaft was my first experiment, and I’m impressed by how easy and fun it was to bring to life.

    In the ever-evolving world of digital marketing, QR codes have become a powerful tool to bridge the gap between offline and online experiences. From restaurant menus to event check-ins, these scannable codes are everywhere. But what if you could make your QR codes stand out with a splash of color and personality?

    So while I’d love to take credit for creating QRaft, the real magic came from Windsurf.ai. I simply had the honor of promoting it.

    Try QRaft for Yourself

    Ready to elevate your QR code game? QRaft offers a simple, effective way to create custom QR codes that reflect your brand’s personality. Whether you’re a small business owner, a marketer, or a Notion enthusiast, this tool is worth checking out.

    Give it a try

    Always give credit, when credit is due –
    Thanks for the inspiration:

  • The developer is dead.

    There is a lot of buzz about ChatGTP potentially killing the copywriter, after all with tools like this everyone can be a writer. What about the developer? In this example, ChatGTP is generating JavaScript code, based on a simple textual briefing. The copywriter & developer will be around for many years, just as the photographer did after the introduction of digital and smart photography. However, both professions will certainly change in the years to come.

    Below you can find an example of how you can ask ChatGPT to generate some code for you. This can come in pretty handy.

  • OFFF course 2021

    OFFF course I would have preferred to join you all in Barcelona. Unfortunately things are slightly OFFF. Slightly, is probably an understatement. Try to image something more prefect: real people, creative talks, a slice of sun & a beer or two. I will probably not be joining a lot during the virtual event, but nevertheless I will not claim a refund. Just reserve me a spot on the priority list and let me order my 2022 ticket today. 

    PS: The 2020 book did not make it to Belgium but I will still love to receive it, at the front desk next year.

  • Type “@” on Microsoft Remote Desktop on Mac.

    Encounter problems typing a ‘@’ and other characters like [ { } } on a Microsoft Remote Desktop (10.5.01) on Mac. Setting the keyboard mode to “unicode” fixed the issue for me.

  • Berlin.🌭

    Past years I went to WorldCamp Europe in Paris, Vienna and Belgrade. This year the WordPress community picked Berlin to gather. Berlin is also the host for Common Europe, a yearly conference organised by the biggest IBMi user group. 

    This may sound as an unusual cocktail, but IBM has put a lot of effort in embracing “Open Source”. In more and more projects open source is combined with information driven by IBMi business solutions and the other way around.

    So today at Common Europe, Jesse Gorzinski (IBM) was showcasing the configurator made for JORI as an example on how you can successfully integrate open source on IBMi. ( It combines Unity 3D, Drupal and IBMi to drive a web application as well as iOS & Android apps.) Together with the people from CD-Invest & Triangle Factory, I had great fun in the process of getting there.

    By the way it was at one of those WorldPress conferences, Matt — the founder of WordPress — said, if you still want to learn one thing, make sure it’s javascript. In the meantime you can run WordPress headless and build a complete front-end using javascript. So in some sense, every javascript developer can be an IBMi developer ?

    “Learn JavaScript, Deeply”.

    Matt Mullenweg

    Looking forward to the upcoming start of WordCamp, but I know for sure, we will keep developing applications that combine both worlds. It allows you to keep your current applications in place and offer new and modern interfaces for your customers.

    I have been enjoying Berlin so far but feel free to share your tips for Berlin.

  • 😀 3 days of design

    Productontwikkeling, het kruipt waar het niet gaan kan. Dit jaar trek ik dus naar Copenhagen voor “3 days of design“. In het verleden ging ik al naar de Milan design week en Clerkenwell design week, maar in Scandinavië was ik nog nooit. Vreemd eigenlijk want Scandinavische design heeft toch wel een stevige reputatie.

    Als internetter begin ik alvast de app te downloaden, maar het verleden heeft me geleerd dat er niets gaat boven de suggesties van echte ervaringsdeskundigen. Ik kreeg al een indrukwekkend lijstje met tips van Daan ( ooit de man van de “Daangepaste” wijnen in de veranda )

    Maar alle tips zijn dus nog steeds welkom.


  • 😎 OFFF 2019

    Ze zijn er daar precies klaar voor, nu ik nog. Vlug het eerste kwartaal afronden & dan ben ik ook klaar om wat extra creativiteit op te snuiven.

    Vorig jaar deed musketon er een “live mural”, gaf Rizon Parein er een heerlijke keynote over zijn “voorlaatste neon“. James Victore had ik al gezien op Adobe Max maar kreeg ook hier weer het publiek op zijn hand, of was het eerder voor zijn kar. Ondertussen ben ik dus al gezond nieuwsgierig voor dit jaar.

    Alle tips voor Barcelona & OFFF 2019 zijn natuurlijk nog altijd welkom. See you there.
