I have always felt that my greatest asset as a designer is my curiosity — my never-ending desire to investigate how and why things work. When I discover a new app that I love, or come across a graphic design that really resonates with me, it’s inevitable that I’ll spend a great amount of time breaking those designs down in my head, examining what makes them tick, as objectively as I can. This spontaneous, un-coupled research actually forms the basis of my education and skill as a designer. Learning how to look at things both at and beyond the surface level has engendered a substantial le[…]

Felix Dorner I watched the movie and totally agree to that!
Ungefähr auf Höhe des Kirchendachs wird es in den „Kronprinzengärten“ einen Roof-Pool geben, so dass unten entlangwandernde Mitarbeiter des Auswärtigen Amts, wenn sie nass werden, nicht davon ausgehen müssen, dass es regnet, und wenn es knallt, muss das nicht heißen, dass einer vom Dach aufs Ministerium schießt, sondern nur, dass er keinen Champagner entkorken kann.

It’s perfectly healthy — encouraged, even — to have an idea tomorrow that contradicted your idea today.

But things are changing. Suddenly, everybody seems to recognize the importance of design. Designers are treated more and more seriously when it comes to building up tech teams. Today I believe hiring great designers should be the number one goal for every HR department out there.

Felix Dorner Indeed!
I hate it when businesses treat their employees like children. They block Facebook or YouTube because they want their employees to work eight hours a day. But instead of getting more productivity, you're getting frustration. What's the point? As long as the work gets done, I don't care what people do all day.

Felix Dorner That's the modern way of leading companies!

Anders als so viele Vertreter der Digitalen Boheme, die in Cafés wie dem Haus am See das erste Jahrzehnt des neuen Jahrtausends damit verbrachten, Blogs zu schreiben und über neue Arbeitsformen zu debattieren, kam Kröhnert 2008 mit einem konkreten Plan in die Hauptstadt, mit ökonomischem Sachverstand und dem festen Willen, nicht zu reden, sondern zu machen.
A team of scientists at the Boston Children’s Hospital have invented what is being considered one the greatest medical breakthroughs in recent years. They have designed a microparticle that can be injected into a person’s bloodstream that can quickly oxygenate their blood. This will even work if the ability to breathe has been restricted, or even cut off entirely.

Felix Dorner That is absolutely amazing! Anything is possible at any time. What comes next? Fire-robust skin?

Marcel Wichmann So we'll soon be able to "breathe" under water? NICE.
Voyager launched in 1977. Today, Voyager I is about 121 astronomical units away (one astronomical unit is equal to the rough distance from the Sun to the Earth). That is so far that it takes 16 hours for the radio signals it transmits to reach us. (Voyager II is about 22 astronomical units -- approximately seven years -- behind.) It is traveling at about 17 kilometers per second (38,000 miles per hour), propelled by the slingshot effect from flying by Jupiter and Saturn.
