Open Minds, Open Skies

Heading to Europe later this week - a chance to listen, learn and contribute to the LIFT Conference in Switzerland and the Shell Technology Futures workshop in the UK. As some of you may be aware I've recently moved out of the research lab to join the Nokia Design Studio in Tokyo, not that much time, ahem, was actually spent in the lab per se. So to round of the trip a visit to the mothership to meet new colleagues. Will the career change result in a change of direction for Future Perfect? Lets see.

You may have watched the view of the future videos posted by Nokia Design on YouTube. I'm always intrigued at the personal touches that make it into corporate presentations - in this instance my design studio neighbour Younghee making a brief appearance in the Achieve video.

So why the hair-on-the-lens photos of back country boarding and Hokkiado's Mt. Yotei? The LIFT conference thoughtfully wraps up on a friday. What to do with a weekend near Geneva?
