What a good way to start the year.
I’ve been very busy since the start of the new year with all the work happening at Think Orange and participating in the SHiFT organization (more on that later).
Last week the Think Orange website received some very good buzz and appreciation, which is very nice. I love sites that follow a minimal style and I’m happy it served as inspiration and got recognized. I wish some clients would realize cramming more stuff into a site doesn’t necessarily make it better.
Also, we’ve got our projects planned for the upcoming months, setup goals for this year and moved to a new working space.
The COWORK Lisboa, located inside the LX Factory will be our home for the next season and is a cool place to work. Lisbon needed more coworking offers and this is one solid one. The location is very good with a public transportation interface nearby and lot’s of local commerce around.
Best of all, we’re in a room full of interesting, creative and entrepreneur people. I hope in the coming weeks we get to know them better and share some interesting stories/knowledge over some coffee. If you’re in the area feel free to visit us and have a chat. :)
On the subject of SHiFT, if you didn’t already know, it’s an international conference happening on the 16-17th of April in Lisbon on the subject this year of Do It Yourself.
SHiFT 2010 will bring together the leaders and newbies of the communities which have serviced in the past 2 editions, with a single purpose: to empower you, so that you can empower others.
It’s a fantastic event where leaders and participants from all walks of life discuss on how technology impacts and changes our life, this year there’s already these great speakers enrolled:
- Dave Weinberger
- Lee Bryant
- Lane Becker
- Jeremy Keith
- Erik de Bruijn and Siert Wijnia
- and more… check them out at http://2010.shift.pt/page/speakers
So go check it out. Here’s an interview with Pedro Custódio from last year about the subject. ;)

We’re participating once again on Codebits this year with the help of Bauke Schildt on the design.
We’ve decided to try something diferent and create a proof-of-concept remake of the MBNet platform to show how it can be improved and adapted for todays time.

The latest Ruby meeting in Lisbon was terrific, lot’s of people from the community was envolved and it was a great way to learn more and get to know the people behind the companies and interesting projects.
