Presentation about Technology as Tool or Trap (in German)

2021-10-11 | Reading time: 1 minute

I recently did a presentation on whether technology is a tool or a trap. It covers Attention Economy, Gamification, Persuasive Technology, Nudging, and Dark Patterns. Unfortunately it's in German, but perhaps it's interesting as well.

A quieter iPad Home Screen

2021-01-17 | Reading time: 4 minutes

Unfortunately, iOS does not allow you to customize your device as you'd like. Fortunately, the Shortcuts app can be used to create custom icons for any application. Which in turn allows you to make the home screen less ... visually noisy.

No Ads, No Sponsored Placements

A comment for those seeking to use this site for personal gain: Given the increase in requests, let me be clear. I write on this blog because I want to. It’s my hobby, my playground. Sometimes people point me to interesting products/services and I write about them. But any request regarding ads or sponsored placements ends up the trash without a reply. And if you think something would be of interest, differentiate yourself from the spammers by referring to a posting — in an intelligent way. (I get enough auto-generated mails to identify them immediately.)

BTW, posts can get updated after I published them if I spot spelling errors (not a native speaker) or think a different wording might improve precision and clarity.

Filter Blog Entries & Categories

This blog is not focused on a single topic, or method. As long as it is relevant to improving creativity (or allowing it in the first place), it's fair game. The heterogeneity of the postings can make reading this blog a bit cumbersome, at least if you are only interested in one topic. You can either use the search function (above), or use the categories or the tags to narrow down the postings you see.
