As described by Donbe:

“Ikari” or “Anger” if you will, explores the premises of being questioned about the unagreeable aspects of oneself. I wrote the script some time ago and it is loosely based on a story by Toon Tellegen.

DevoTee Apparel = Designers Wanted + Shirt Giveaway!

Sjef — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 10:31:40 +0000

We would now like to direct your attention to Devotee Apparel, a fine new store run by young brothers Rens & Thijs Drost. They’re working hard to build an online retail empire, mostly featuring clothing by such brands as Insight51, Your Eyes Lie, Fenchurch, Analog, Supreme Being, and of course the nation’s own No Rest For the Obsessed.

The brothers tell us stocking product by fresh, unknown designers is a big part of the store’s future and they’re actively trying to seek out new brands. If you’re a designer with a new line and are looking for someone to take care of online retail you need to get in touch with them, they’ll be happy to hear from you.

The selection isn’t limited to just t-shirts, there’s also shirts, sweaters, jackets, boardshorts, and bicycles. Yes bicycles. Not only can you get clothing here, if you’re in need of some leather & powder-coated aluminum to ride around town you can get that too. Now that’s service.

Congratulations! Because you read all the way down to here you are now eligible to enter the LargeDevoTee giveaway! All you have to do is tell us which shirt from the t-shirt collection you want to be sent. Tell us on twitter using the hashtag #largedevotee, and directing your tweet to @largetosti and @devoteeapparel. Use the hashtag or your tweet doesn’t count! If you’re not on the twitter you can also send an email to largedevotee@largetosti.com. Our poorly trained astronaut monkey will collect your votes and come down from the space barbecue at the end of the month to announce the winner.

Digitale Vrijheidswijzer

Sjef — Mon, 17 May 2010 09:48:33 +0000

The ‘Digitale Vrijheidswijzer‘ (or ‘Digital Civil Liberties Guide’ for the non Dutch speakers in the crowd) we designed and built for Bits of Freedom has gone live today. If you’re unfamiliar with Bits of Freedom, they’re a Dutch digital rights advocacy group who strive to protect civil liberties by influencing political & legislative processes at both national and European levels. You could consider them a Dutch equivalent to the EFF.

This Digital Civil Liberties Guide is intended as an informative aid to help people decide who they’ll vote for in the upcoming Dutch elections. Each party that currently has seats in government is shown cross-referenced with nine issues of importance to the digital rights movement (the right to Internet access, net-neutrality, surveillance reviews etc) and scored on their viewpoints as stated in their election programs.

If you’re voting in the upcoming elections check it out and make sure your party of choice is committed to protecting your rights online.
