Group21KNA are in the middle of this project, where we got a wiimote as a component. We have the technical part working, and now we are working on the design and the interactive part. We have our product name and logo and everything seems to go smoothly.

I was really excited when the module Experience Technology started. On Tuesday Petter Warnsberg came to present the module, but we didn’t get our groups until Wednesday. And when I got my group I was even more excited. I’ve been working with Christoffer Erneholm and Theo Stråhlén before and I feel that we have the same goals and passion for what we do. I’ve been wanting to work with Daniel Dominguez and Alexander Gårdenberg, for their knowledge in design, good communication, and presentation skills and now I will.
Everyone is participating, and the level of work is super high and I think this depends on the smaller team building we had on Wednesday. We set the roles and the responsibilities and expectations that came with each role so everyone knows what they are doing.
Today we have been doing some serious idea development and we are so excited of what we can come up with and we all want the best idea there is.
Tomorrow I’ll be attending three seminars in the morning. I don’t have a lecture at Hyper Island until 1.30pm, so this will be perfect. All the seminars are in Swedish, and the ones I’m attending are held at the Marinmuseum here in Karlskrona.
The first seminar is about conflicts and how to communicate. I think this one can be very good and when I read about it, it reminds me a little about the UGL course I took when starting at Hyper Island. Glenn Carlbark will be the speaker.
The second seminar is about branding and everything around branding. Joakim Eklund and Viktor Ehrenberg will be sharing information about starting up a business, what qualities to embrace in a company, how to communicate through the right medias, and how to create a strategy.
Tomas Lydahl will be talking at the last seminars, where he will tell us how to get our clients to brag about us. This can be hard, since it is the disappointed clients who talk the most. Satisfied clients might not say anything, and they might not use your service the next time even if they where happy with your result.
I’m very excited about what I’ll hear tomorrow. There are 13 more seminars going on, some at the Marinmuseum but also some at Hyper Island. Check out the list and sign up here.
Monday, new week and a new module. Today we started with a Monday Meeting, which we are going to have like every second Monday. Now in the beginning the co-workers will be with us, but later we are having it ourselves. This is for us to talk about pretty much everything, and I like the idea.
The new module is called Communication Skills. This is a two week module and the first week will be presentation technique with Jonas Lidman and the next week is Motion week. I’m very excited about motion week because After Effect is one program I want to learn more about.
A new module starts today called The Information Society and it’s a three week long module. The first week will be lectures, workshops and other stuff….fun fun fun.
These are the first lecturers:
Monday – Jonathan Briggs one of the founders of Hyper Island.
Tuesday – Måns Adler founder of Bambuser
Wednesday – Annette Finnsdottir from Netfilmmakers
Thursday – Peter Nilsson from Banditteatern
Friday – Petter Warnsberg

I think I’ll keep the title WordPress gave this first post. Hello world! It really says everything I want with this blog. This will be my story, my presentation, and my thoughts about everything going on during my time at Hyper Island.
Hyper Island. I can say that so many times and it brings a smile on my face every time. I am so so so super excited and can hardly wait until Tuesday which is the first day of school.
